Solo Tournament
Solo Tournaments are special events in which you compete individually with fellow Lords and Ladies across Darkshine in a variety of different arenas. Though participation is voluntary, the outcome of each Global Tournament can alter the Stormfall storyline, result in permanent changes to the game map, and unlock rewards or new game features for participating players.
Participating in Tournaments will oftentimes, but not always, require Lords and Ladies to put their warriors at risk. Participants must collect as many Tournament Points as possible by clashing with enemies on the battlefield or carrying out other types of quests - the goals vary based on which Tournament is being held. Upon the completion of a Solo Tournament, all contributing Lords and Ladies will be rewarded according to the size of their contribution.
By the will of the gods, each Lord and Lady will be placed into a Tier suiting their level of experience: Novice, Amateur, Professional, Veteran, Master, or Expert. One's reward from a Solo Tournament depends in part upon which Tier one belongs to when the Tournament begins. Thus, even novice players can receive large rewards by claiming the highest positions in their Tier - not only the most experienced players shall emerge victorious. Players will remain locked in their Tier for the duration of the Tournament, regardless of whether they level up during the course of the Tournament.
Soulstones
You can only earn Soulstones by completing Global Tournaments. You cannot purchase them using Iron, Gold, Food, or Sapphires. Furthermore, you cannot exchange or send them as gifts to other players. Other players cannot raid Soulstones from your Castle. You may use Soulstones to purchase unique Scrolls that are required to train Vampire Units and unlock other game features. Once you have amassed enough Soulstones, visit the Black Market, open the "Soulstones" tab, and select the item you wish to purchase.
Check the Black Market to view the full list of items and Castle improvements you are able to purchase.
PvP Warfare
Your enemies are constantly developing their Castles, trying to gain an advantage. But sometimes developing your Castle isn't enough. Battle other Lords and Ladies to get Tournament Points. Their fear shall be your Reward! The more enemy Units you take down, the more Points you'll get. Those who succeed will get eye-popping rewards!
Battleground Conquest
In this Tournament, Lords and Ladies need to use their Units to clear out Battlegrounds across Darkshine. You shall get Tournament Points for each one of Balur's minions you defeat. The more Points you collect, the bigger the Reward you shall receive! Spare no effort and reap immense Rewards!
Beacon Conquest
This Tournament takes the battle from the arena into the global map. You will need to conquer and hold Beacons in order to earn Tournament Points, and the ultimate number of Tournament Points you collect directly depends on how many Units you take down at the Beacons.
Recruitment Race
This Tournament is about bolstering your forces. There are four ways to earn Points:
- Train Units in your Castle
- Revive Units at the Infirmary
- Acquire Units at the Black Market
- Earn Units as rewards for clearing Battlegrounds
The stronger the Units, the more Tournament Points you will earn for adding them to your ranks.
League Milestones
League Milestones are special marks that indicate the factor your rewards will be multiplied by. They appear only in the "Milestone" Global Tournaments, in which your League can take part. The more your League succeeds at completing Tournament goals, the greater the Milestones you will reach. The amount of points a League needs to earn in order to reach the next Milestone will depend entirely upon the size of the League. The bigger the League, the more points it shall need in order to advance. Wake your League from its stupor and get tremendous rewards!
League Tournaments
League Tournaments are special types of Tournaments that your League can take part in together. Any Tournament Points you collect shall be added to the overall total of your League. The more Points your League Members collect, the bigger the Reward you shall be granted upon Tournament completion. Bear in mind that all participating League Members shall receive the same Rewards. To be eligible to receive the League Reward, you must be a permanent member of a League. If a League Tournament appears locked to you, this signifies that you must first complete your League Training and achieve a higher League Role. League Tournaments require high levels of coordination and teamwork, so gather your League Members and commence training today!
Progress Push
To earn Tournament Points in the Progress Push, you must do the following:
- Discover or upgrade Lost Arts
- Discover or upgrade Dragon Arts
- Apply Skull Runes in the Obelisk of Power
- Upgrade your Hero's Equipment
No battle actions are required for this Tournament, my Lord. Strengthen your Castle and get ahead of your enemies. Darkshine only has room for winners.
Hamlet Harvest
In this Tournament, there are two ways to earn Tournament Points. You're tasked with capturing, occupying, and defending Hamlets across Darkshine.
You shall receive Tournament Points for all the Resources you successfully collect from Hamlets, so the longer you hold these sites, and the more Defensive Units you have stationed there to gather and load Resources, the higher your score will be. Note: Different Resources grant different amounts of Tournament Points. For example, 10 Sapphires collected are worth more Tournament Points than 10 Iron.
You shall also win Tournament Points for any enemy Units you destroy in battle at Hamlets – regardless of whether you are on the offensive or defensive side and regardless of whether you win or lose the battle.
For more information on capturing Hamlets and holding them, refer to the "Hamlets" section.
Dragon Derby
A mighty creature sleeps restlessly in the darkest enclaves of your Castle, preparing itself for war. Now, the time has come to wake the beast and call it to action! Your scaly companion was made for this moment: the Dragon Derby is your Dragon's chance to shine! Show off your beast's fierce battle skills by slaying Monsters to earn Tournament Points! Discovering and upgrading Dragon Arts will earn you even more Tournament Points, as well as helping you develop your Castle and armies even faster!
League Fortress Showdown
This Tournament gives Lords and Ladies who belong to a League a chance to demonstrate their might and power! Prepare yourself for a brutal fight to the death! There are a number of different ways to receive Tournament Points during the League Fortress Showdown: You can upgrade your own League Fortress or alternatively downgrade the League Fortresses of your rivals - fighting and destroying enemy Units in the process! You will receive Tournament Points when you take down enemy Units at any League Fortress. Remember: the bigger and more fearsome Units you can take down, the more Tournament Points you will earn!
