Sanctuary Battles
Description
Sanctuary & Fortress
Sanctuaries and Fortresses are special buildings located across the world map. When controlled by an alliance, they provide valuable rewards to all alliance members. These rewards help players grow stronger and better prepare for upcoming events
Availability
At the start of a kingdom, Sanctuaries and Fortresses are protected by a shield and cannot be attacked
Once the protection period ends, alliances can sign up and compete for control of these locations
Battle Phase
During the battle phase, alliances fight to capture and hold these buildings. Multiple alliances may target the same Sanctuary or Fortress, which often leads to large battles as each alliance tries to secure control
Importance
Controlling these buildings provides several advantages:
-
Rewards for all alliance members
-
Stronger preparation for future events
-
Contribution to seasonal progress
Because of this, Sanctuaries and Fortresses are important objectives for alliances that want to stay competitive throughout the season
Sign-Up Rules
Alliance Leaders and R4 members are responsible for signing the alliance up for Sanctuary and Fortress battles
Battle Registration
-
During each round, an alliance can manually sign up for 1 Sanctuary battle and 1 Fortress battle
-
When selecting a battle, the alliance must choose from available time slots
-
The final battle time will be determined based on the time period chosen by the majority of participating alliances
Participating in Battles
-
Once the battle phase begins, registered players can send troops to capture and garrison the target building
-
Players must already be members of the alliance before battle day to participate
-
Leaving and joining another alliance on the same day will prevent participation in the battle for the new alliance
⚠ Important:
If your alliance won a Sanctuary or Fortress in the previous round, the alliance will be automatically signed up to defend it in the next round.
This automatic sign-up does not count toward the normal sign-up limit, meaning the alliance can still manually register for 1 additional Sanctuary and 1 additional Fortress battle
Control Rules
During the battle phase, alliances fight to gain control of a Sanctuary or Fortress
Securing Control
-
To gain full control, an alliance must hold the building continuously for 30 minutes during the battle phase
-
If no alliance manages to hold it for the full duration, control is awarded to the alliance occupying the building when the battle ends
Sanctuary Teleport
-
Players can unlock the Sanctuary Teleport through Alliance Technology
-
This teleport allows members to move their Town close to the targeted Sanctuary or Fortress
-
It can be used 10 minutes before the battle begins or during the battle
Season Rules
Sanctuary and Fortress battles are part of the seasonal progression system.
Seasonal Phases
-
Each season is divided into multiple phases
-
Alliances earn season points by controlling Sanctuaries and Fortresses during these phases
Earning Points
-
Controlling a Sanctuary grants 1 season point
-
Controlling a Fortress grants 2 season points
These points contribute to the alliance’s overall seasonal ranking

Tips & Guides
Rally & Garrison
Rally Attack:
-
Always invite members with high-tier troops first
-
If you can’t take the Sanctuary/Fortress in one rally, stagger rallies 10–15 seconds apart. The first rally weakens enemy troops, and the second can secure the capture.
-
Use buffs if the fight is tough.
-
Rally leaders should bring their 3 strongest heroes, while joiners bring heroes that increase rally damage
-
Let your strongest player lead the first capture rally. Their larger capacity allows more members to join and earn participation and capture rewards
Garrison Defense:
-
Prioritize infantry and cavalry; avoid putting archers inside garrison
-
Use a defensive hero to boost hold time
Reward Allocation:
-
Always allocate rewards to members who actively participated and contributed first
