The Story
Teaser
Get ready with your allies to face new challenges! Your warzone will be relocated to the distant northern polar region, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, with a cold climate, and rumors of giant beasts appearing.
In Season II, the ruler of the polar region Emperor Boreas has shut down all heat sources, causing it to be completely covered by ice and snow.
We have to defeat the Emperor and restore life to the polar region. However, not only are we entrusted with this mission, but we also have to be careful of harassment from other warzones while fighting against the Emperor.
The mission
In the far northern polar region, thereβs a forbidden zone, tamed by ice and snow, making it barren and lifeless. Once bustling cities are now snow-covered, with buildings like icy tombs, as if time has stopped. Thick snow covers the streets, and cold winds howl through frozen alleys, producing ghostly roars. This place once had a prosperous industrial nation. Despite its strength, its people endured a βheat crisis.β The old government banned personal fires to control people, providing paid central heating instead. The people hated this, and many poor froze to death in the streets.
A hero eventually overthrew the old government, lifted the βfire ban,β and built large furnaces in every city, ending the βheat crisis.β He was the last king, Emperor Boreas, but the demon slayer became a demon himself. His brutal rule caused people to revolt, and he was assassinated by Violet, forcing him to hide in an ice cellar with biochemical weapons. Facing freezing to death, he had no choice but to break the dangerous containers in the ice cellar, surrounding himself with viral gas. Miraculously, the low temperatures kept the virus inactive, preventing him from becoming a monster. He kept his mind and gained great power but could only survive in extreme cold.
With this power, he destroyed all who opposed him and shut down all furnaces, turning the nation into a dead city. To restore life to the polar region, our army will march north, vowing to defeat the mad Emperor Boreas, liberate the cities from his control, open the furnaces, and bring warmth back to this land!
Season 2 Goals
In this season in the freezing world of the Polar Region the major challenge is the temperature.
You need to make sure that your base stays warm using your Furnaces (your own and the Alliance one). The more you move to the center of the move the more the temperature drops.
This Season features temperature and virus resistance, both can be increased using your Furnace, so thatβs your main goal since the beginning.
Rare Soil is also crucial in this Season 2, once cities in the Polar Region are captured, they will start producing Rare Soil over time.
At the end of the Season alliances will be ranked by how much they have, the higher the rank, the better the Season 2 Rewards.
In game manuals β Rules
For those who want to see the in game manual here we go, you will find such rules explained in the various section of this guide anyway.
Week 1 Manual
New basic resources β Coal and Titanium Alloy
Additional resources are available now in the game: titanium alloy and coal.
Titanium Alloy:
Used for constructing and upgrading seasonal buildings.
You can earn Titanium Alloy through:
β First Time Level Zombie Kill Rewards
β Completing Season Quest missions
β Completing Season 2 Goals for the High-heat Furnace Level
β Doom Walker First Blood Kill (First DW kill of a day)
β Using Heroβs Return Recruitment ticket
Coal:
Used for constructing and upgrading seasonal structures or to fuel the High-heat Furnace.
You can earn coal through:
β First Time Level Zombie Kill Rewards
β Completing Season Quest missions
β Capturing Dig Sites allows continuous Coal production
β Completing Season 2 Goals for the High-heat Furnace Level
β Using Heroβs Return Recruitment ticket
β Weekly Pass and Season Battle Pass (biggest boost)
The World and the map
The world changed again, the map is composed by alternating cities and dig sites.
To crush Emperor Boreasβs ambitions, you and your allies are gathering on the outskirts of the polar region. Itβs very cold and the temperature drops further as you approach the center.
Cities
Dig Sites
Nuclear Furnace (Capitol)
At the beginning of the season you and your allies will find yourselves stranded to the edge of the server (but still all together as alliance hive), with no owned city. Cities must be re-conquered, but new rules applyβ¦
IMPORTANT: The alliances that holds capitol last will hold the capitol once the season 1 starts, and the capture of the capitol will start only after 28 days following the City clash event. Hats/Ministries will be available as usual. [TO BE CONFIRMED]
Doom elite monsters are transformed into aggressive polar monsters, and most of the zombies need a high virus resistance to be killed.
This is how the map looks like. The buildings you see are the cities, the other tiles in between are the dig sites
As you can see on the map view there is a toggle to enable the Thermal Map, that will show you the temperature. And clicking on each point of the map will give you the temperature there.
The further you move to the center of the map the lower the temperature.
A quick video overview
New Buildings
New types of buildings are available and they can be built only on the outside of your baseβs perimeter. Some appear right at the beginning of the season, others will follow.
Titanium Alloy Factory
The Titanium Alloy Factory produces titanium alloy that is crucial to upgrade your Furnace level.
Level up Titanium Alloy Factory
You will need coal to level up the Titanium Alloy Factory
This building can be upgraded up to level 30, regardless of your HQ level.
Once your first Titanium Alloy Factory reaches level 15 a new Titanium Alloy Factory will be available.
Subsequent Titanium Alloy Factories will be available when the previous reaches level 15.
One Titanium Alloy Factory will be immediately available with the Seasonβs Weekly Pass.
High-heat Furnace
This new building is very important.
It allows you to bring up the temperature using coal and to increase the virus resistance.
Upgrade the building to increase also the virus resistance.
Level up High-heat Furnace
You will need titanium alloy to level up the High-heat Furnace
Leveling up this building allows to increase:
- the Virus Resistance
- activation heat of the furnace (itβs the base temperature of the furnace)
- overdrive heat of the furnace (itβs the max temperature you can reach with the furnace if you allow it to consume more coal per minute)
This building can be upgraded up to level 30, regardless of your HQ level.
High-Heat Furnace control panel
To increase the temperature of your base you can switch on the High-heat furnace.
The control panel is quite easy to understand:
- toggle to turn on/off
- toggle to enable overdrive that will consume more coal per minute but will heat more
- toggles to auto enable furnace when Blizzard arrives.
Check the video below to see the effect on the Temperature.
In the video you can see the effect of enabling the Furnace and how it affects your base temperature.
If you enable overdrive the temperature goes up even faster.
Alliance Furnace
Additionally to your own High-heat Furnace there is going to be also the Alliance Furnace. This is a nice addition as the whole alliance can contribute to increase the temperature for all the allies.
During day 1 of Season 2 the alliances will have to repair the Alliance Furnace to start using it.
The Alliance furnace can be located going to Alliance button -> Alliance Furnace -> clicking on the coordinates. Actions on it can only be done by R4/5
In the video on the left you can see how to locate the Alliance Furnace and how to contribute in repairing it.
Additionally you are able to see all the bonuses the furnace provides.
In the video on the right you can see the Alliance Furnace in action and how to donate coal
Alliance Furnace heat range
It is important to note that the Alliance Furnace will boost the temperature only in its range, therefore be sure to be located close to the Furnace with your base
A good suggestion for an alliance would be to always locate around the Alliance Furnace and to let people with lower temperature and low high-heat furnace level closer to it.
Below see the effect of the Furnace on the land when it is on and off.
On the left the Furnace is on and so it heats its surrounding, on the right it is off and so the temperature is lower on the exact same spot.
If in overdrive mode you can see the even higher temperature:
Below you can see the Thermal Map around the Furnace and how it is affecting the temperature on the land in range.
When you are in range of the Alliance Furnace you will see its effect in the temperature detail. If you are out of range you will not see it listed here.
Cities
[coming soon]
Dig Sites
Dig Sites were once crucial for producing coal, but theyβve been taken over by mutant beasts under Emperor Boreasβs control. Defeat the beasts, reclaim the sites and resume coal production.
Coal is crucial for providing heat to your base, so capturing Dig Sites that produce coal is a very important move any alliance should make. Higher level Dig Sites produce higher amounts of coals.
The initial capture of a Dig Site can be different based on the temperature of the land it is on.
The Dig Site is protected by polar beasts and they can get frozen, so before the capture you need to unfreeze them. To unfreeze them click on the beast, use the unfreeze button to send your squad in action. Afterwards defeat the polar beast like you defeated Corruptors in Season 1.
You can view all the Alliance Dig Sites going to Alliance button -> Alliance City -> Dig Sites tab.
From here you can reclaim the produced coal.
In this video you can see a captured Dig Site and how it provides coal to alliance members
Capture and protection status
Dig Sites appear to be similar to Season 1 Strongholds.
- Initial capture requires Polar Beast defeat with adequate Virus Resistance
- Once captured it goes in protection status and it is surrounded by Dig Site Guards
- Description of the Dig Sites mentions stronghold as a typo and describes same capture from others procedure like shown in the image below
Radar missions
In Season 2 a new radar mission is available: Distressed Survivor
To complete the mission send your squad to help the distressed survivor and receive rewards, among which coal.
Hero upgrades and weapons
Season 2 brings news regarding heroes and weapons, their availability differs in time.
Violet upgrade to UR
It will be possible to upgrade Violet to . The event will probably start after week 2.
More details about the conditions to upgrade Violet to UR will come when the event starts, but for sure you will need to have 5 βοΈ to promote her.
Violetβs Hero Story:
S2: Legend Returns
Recruit Heroes
S2: Weapons of Legends
Temperature
Temperature is a major challenge in the polar region and it will continuously impact your baseβs stats. Your base temperature will slowly align with the environment, and maintaining higher temperatures will give you bonus stats.
The temperature is impacted by many factors:
- Base Location on map: there are different temperatures on the map, the more you go to the center the colder it gets
- Furnace activity: the new seasonal building High-heat Furnace allows you to produce heat if enabled, and heat even more if set to overdrive mode
- Alliance Furnace activity: the new seasonal alliance building Alliance Furnace allows to produce heat in a close range, bases located close to the Alliance Furnace will be affected by that heat
- Blizzards: Events happening since day 1 of the Season that will bring a huge temperature drop in all the warzone for hours. The higher the level the more the temperature will drop
You can monitor your temperature by the icon or accessing the temperature detail page clicking on that icon. Here you can see listed all the factors impacting on your baseβs temperature.
The Temperature is impacted by many things in Season 2, I am preparing a full description as done with the Virus in season 1, soon a huge update right here.
Check how the High-heat Furnace will help you heat your base
Help allies to increase temperature
You can help allies to increase their temperature sending a Recon Plan and spending some coal, but the effect is not lasting long. It can be helpful during difficult events like Blizzards.
Here you can see me sending Recon Plane and at each hit the temperature increases by +2Β° C , but right after the hit the temperature drops quite fast.
Game Action
