How to Heed the Call of Kronos[]
Kronos Battlefield will open at 1:00 AM, 7:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 7:00 PM server time, daily. To apply, simply click on the Move to Battlefield from the PvP Battlefield window (fig. 1), or Click on the Kronos Button (fig. 2) and follow the previous steps. Note: Kronos Battlefield is for users who are Lv. 140 and above!
Once you've been teleported to Titan, talk to Kronos Gatekeeper. A screen (pictured above) will appear that allows you to choose which 4 mercenaries you want to take with you into the battlefield (fig. 3). Once you've chosen your mightiest mercenaries, click on the Request Battlefield button (fig. 4) and you will then be placed in a queue to enter Kronos Battlefield. The queue will last 30 minutes; after this time, your team is selected and you will be teleported into the battlefield. There are two teams of 9 (18 players total) for Kronos Battlefield: The Midnight Team (Blue), and The Crimson Team (Red). The system matches players to have an equal amount of might on each team, meaning you will be randomly assigned to either the Midnight team or the Crimson team. Each player will start off at their respective bases, depending on which team you are on. Once you enter the Battlefield, there will be a 10 second count down timer before you are allowed to move freely around the map.
The Battlefield[]
This is the battlefield. Each team will spawn in their respective base, and flags will spawn in 1 of 3 spots in each team base (indicated by the flags on the map). There are also 3 buffs zones (indicated on map), and 6 Kronos item spawn points. Each team's graveyard is located next to their respective bases.
Buff Zones and Item Boxes[]
As mentioned earlier, there are 3 buff zones on the map, each buff does the following:
- Wings of Recovery: Completely Revives and Recovers you, and your mercenaries.(100% to health and mana)
- Boots of Swiftness: +50% movement speed for 5 seconds.
- Invincible Shield: Immune to battle for 5 seconds.
Kronos Item Boxes will be scattered across the battlefield. To pick an item up from these boxes, you will need to make sure that your Main Character's quick slot is empty. If their quick slot is full, the item will not be picked up. Kronos Item Boxes contain a number of strategic resources that can be used during battle. Since normal scrolls and potions will not function in Kronos Battlefield, it is key to pick up items, and walk over the buff zones. After you pick up an item, or walk through a buff zone, you will experience a short cooldown before being able to use an item box, or buff zone again.
Ready, Fight![]
Once you're ready for battle, you will be outfitted in your team's uniform! Red outfit and Mount for Crimson team, and Blue outfit and Mount for Midnight team! Strategy Point: designate players to defend the base, go for the enemy flag, and cull enemy numbers in mid-field. When you encounter an enemy on the field, simply click to engage in battle - you will be pitted against them in Normal Combat style. Remember: You can only bring 4 of your mercenaries with you into battle. Choose wisely! Since the only way to heal your party will be through Buff Zones, and Kronos Item Boxes. If you are successful in battle, you will be rewarded with a 5 second grace period that protects you from enemies who want to engage you in battle. Lose your battle, and face a penalty which will revive you at your team's graveyard, and suffer a 20% Health and Mana reduction. Cowards will be penalized too, if you flee from your fight, you will suffer the same consequences as death.
Capturing the Flag[]
To capture the flag, you will have to fight your way across the field and onto your enemy's base. The flag will be spawned in one of 3 location points on their base. You must click on the flag, and wait for the progress bar to finish loading. Once this is done, you will have to, once again, survive a trek through the battlefield and return back to your base to capture the flag at your team's capture point. The capture point will be in the middle of each team's base.
Point System[]
There are 4 different ways to earn points for your team in Kronos Battlefield: Kills, Assists, Flag Captures, and Deserters.
