⚔️ Apocalypse City: Capture Strategy & PvP

Once Apocalypse City opens on Day 28, everything comes down to one thing: who can take it and hold it. This page walks you through how to win the war — from the first declaration to post-capture defense.

🎯 Victory Conditions

• The alliance that successfully captures the city gets a 7-day protection window
• If another alliance captures it after that, protection resets
• The alliance holding Apocalypse City at the end of the season is the official winner

🛠️ Before the Declaration

• Rally lead must have 10,000k Virus Resistance
• Ensure territory or Outpost is connected to the city tile
• Full PvP gear and formation buffs must be equipped
• Stack all rally timers before the declaration goes live
• Announce war start to all allies — timing matters

🕐 Rally Timing

• Use off-hour declarations (e.g. late night or low activity times)
• Time multiple rallies to land within 15–30 seconds of each other
• Use ghost/fake rallies to mislead enemy scouts
• Confirm enemy activity — wait for them to go offline, if possible

🧱 Recommended Rally Strategy

🧠 Tip: Use your Outpost region to quickly reinforce with backup troops right after the capture.

🛡️ After Capturing the City

• Immediately fill garrison with top squads (10k VR, 2M+ power units)
• Assign 2–3 timers for ongoing garrison healing and speedups
• Use rally blockers to interrupt any re-declaration attempts
• Build a buffer of territory/strongholds around the city if time allows

🧠 Defensive PvP Tips

• Use mixed formations (not just Infantry/Infantry)
• Stack HP/DEF heroes in defense squads
• Make use of Commander Skills: heal reduction, rally traps
• Always have at least one timer active for garrison swaps

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Declaring too early and not being ready
• Forgetting to time reinforcements right after capture
• Leaving Outposts vulnerable or undefended
• Going all-in without backup garrisons
