↖ Battle Basics

• The event kicks off when both Horde and Alliance hit 100% in Ashenvale.
• Rack up your faction's percentage by defeating players, mobs, creatures – basically, any foe in sight.

 

↖ The Big Boss Spawns

• Once both factions reach 100%, it's boss time at one of three bases.
• The Horde and Alliance race to defeat three bosses at separate bases and then the general.
• The first faction to down these bosses wins the event, and the percentage count resets.

 

↖ Key Strategy

• Strike the boss quickly! Only the first 40 hitters gain reputation points.
• Blizzard, please tweak this – it's tough for the 41st player!

 

↖ Map Dynamics

• Horde bases: Shredder, Catapult, and Lumber Mill.
• Alliance bases: Research, Glaive, and Runestone.
• The main battlefields: Alliance Moonwell and Horde Bonfire.
• Strategy tip: Grey out enemy bases to weaken their main generals.

 

↖ Finding a Group

• Use the Looking for Group (LFG) tool. Make sure it's active in your chat settings.
• You'll find groups rallying for every battle.

 

↖ Boss Fight Basics

• Both factions' bosses share similar attack patterns.
• Main Tank aggro, random charges, and a painful Whirlwind phase.
• Tip for Rogues: Use Evasion during Whirlwind to avoid damage.

 

↖ Gathering Reputation

• Killing bosses grants 100 rep, while peons give 5-15 rep each.
• Horde players earn War Song Gulch rep, and Alliance players earn SilverWing Sentinels rep.

 

↖ Smart Hearthstone Placement

• Set your Hearthstone in Astranaar (Alliance) or The Retreat (Horde).
• Strategy tip: Tackle the furthest base first for a strategic advantage.

 

↖ Final Showdown

• Rush to the general as soon as your faction greys out the enemy bases.
• Reminder: Only the first 40 players to hit the general gain rep.

 

↖ Boss Boundaries

• Keep the boss within designated barriers to avoid a reset.
• If the boss strays too far, you'll lose all progress and need to retag.

 

↖ Event Reset

• After a faction downs the main General, the percentages reset to zero.
• All bases disappear, and the event cycle begins anew.
