Guild League schedule and eligibility
A guild becomes eligible as soon as it reaches Guild Lv.1. During the registration window, eligible guilds are automatically entered, so leaders should use the time before Tuesday evening to confirm vanguards, parties, and command roles.
Two Tuesday rounds—the preliminary and semifinal—are followed by the Thursday final. Treat all listed times as server time and verify the in-game event panel after major updates.

|---|---|---|
| Registration | Monday 05:00 – Tuesday 16:00 | Confirm participation, assign commanders, and prepare the 60-player main roster. |
| Preliminary | Tuesday 21:30 | Establish lane assignments and test resource flow from the Sub Battlefield. |
| Semifinal | Tuesday 22:00 | Adjust the roster and tactics from the first match. |
| Final | Thursday 22:00 | Use the strongest balanced roster and a clear shot-calling plan. |
Eight tiers, promotion, and rewards
Guild League contains eight divisions: Fearless Rookie, Hopeful Apprentice, Rising Hero, Vanguard Elite, Strategic Commander, Transcendent Master, Glorious King, and Supreme Champion. Each tier holds eight guilds, with stronger rewards at higher ranks.
At the end of the round, the top two guilds in a tier are promoted and the bottom two are demoted. Initial placement when the league opens is based on Guild Power ranking.
- Supreme Champion rewards include 100,000 Guild Fund, Merit, and access to Guild Auction rewards.
- Rare auction examples include the SSR red pet Rita, Advanced Gem Boxes, and Adventure Journals.
- Base Lv.70+ participants can receive additional Oridecon, Elunium, and Sweep Tickets.
- A Guild Auction does not activate when fewer than 20 members participated, and some lower tiers may not have auction items.
Main Battlefield and Sub Battlefield roles
The event is won by coordinating two connected battlefields. The Main Battlefield is the visible 60-versus-60 GVG fight, while the Sub Battlefield supplies resources, buffs, command skills, and tower support.
The Main Battlefield uses a three-lane MOBA-style map. Each lane has outer, middle, and high-ground towers leading to the enemy crystal. Destroying the crystal ends the match immediately; otherwise the result is decided by the remaining battlefield state.
| Area | Primary job | Who should be there |
|---|---|---|
| Main Battlefield | Fight enemy vanguards, pressure towers, control lanes, and threaten the crystal. | Balanced frontline, supports, ranged damage, assassins, and mobile flank groups. |
| Floating Island | Contest Doppelgangers at minutes 5 and 15 for buffs and resources. | A coordinated burst group with enough support to secure or steal the objective. |
| Sub Battlefield | Defeat monsters, gather resources, disrupt enemy gathering, and support main-map structures. | A mix of gatherers and medium-to-high-power fighters; not only low-power members. |
Objectives, command skills, and victory-point priority
Doppelgangers appear on the Floating Island at the fifth and fifteenth minutes. The side dealing the most damage receives team buffs and resources, while the final hit counts as an extra 5% damage—making objective timing important.
Guild leaders, vice leaders, and commanders can spend resources on skills including Boost Morale, Breach, Hold Fast, Guard, and Endure. Mass Summon is initially available once, while another teleport can be purchased for 3,000 resources.
- If neither crystal falls, the tiebreak priority is: Crystal HP remaining → surviving towers → total HP of surviving structures → enemy kills.
- Use Hold Fast and Guard to delay an enemy push while side teams trade or take towers.
- Use teleport for sudden lane swaps, tower pressure, or Doppelganger contests rather than routine movement.
- Sub Battlefield resource control can compensate for a moderate combat-power disadvantage by accelerating morale and command skills.
How to build the 60-player lineup
Do not select the Main Battlefield roster by power ranking alone. A high-power group without tanks, healing, ranged pressure, and flank control can lose to a lower-power but better-organized guild.
Keep enough capable players in the Sub Battlefield to contest enemy gatherers and protect your own resource flow.
- Frontline: tanks and supports who can hold space and keep the main formation alive.
- Backline: Archers, Mages, and Gunslingers for sustained pressure and safer tower damage.
- Flank parties: a tank, support, and assassin or other high-burst mobile damage dealer.
- Tower and lane-swap parties: ranged classes that can damage structures while repositioning quickly.
- Sub Battlefield strike team: medium-to-high-power members assigned to steal resources and disrupt supply lines.
Offense, defense, and comeback strategy
Against a much weaker guild, a direct mid push can end the match. Against an equal opponent, protect crystal HP and towers while creating side-lane advantages.
Abandon an unproductive central fight long enough to trade one tower for one or two weaker side structures.
Attack the enemy backline rather than adding more bodies to a congested frontline.
Time morale boosts and command skills with major pushes, boss contests, or defensive holds.
Do not chase kills that expose towers or the crystal. Keep the structure advantage that decides the tiebreak.
