⚔️ KvK S3 — «Asgard's Trial»

Asgard — the legendary realm of the gods, famed for unrivaled beauty and boundless wealth, yet all will turn to ash should the gods' supremacy end. To resist this fate, the gods turn their gaze to the world of humans and choose the best of the best for a trial — Odin personally invites a Chief whose deeds the bards have sung. Those who pass the trial earn the gods' favor — the greatest honor for a Viking. In the outer regions of Asgard stand six magnificent fortresses endowed with divine power but in need of repair — from them the warriors begin their odyssey.

Season periods

3. Election Period. The kings of the three Kingdoms of each Team choose the Team captain.
4. Path Stage. The captain manually assigns the starting zones of the Kingdoms on their Team.
5. Battle Period. The main battles in Asgard; Divinity points are generated only during this period.
6. Settlement Period. Handing out rewards based on results; the Seasonal Summon opens.

Chronicles — 24 stages

Chronicles are the spine of a season: each stage unlocks new content on the map. Key milestones:

• Start: "The Trial Begins" and "Stand Firm" — Legion Fortresses and Kingdom Fortresses are activated
• "Collective Action I–III" (stages 4/8/12) — Gates of the Divine Realms lv. 5–7 one-way; the lv. 8 gate is stage 14 "Hildra's Sacred Temple"; full access opens in reverse order (lv. 8→5) at stages 19–23, including "Collective Action IV" (lv. 7 gate)
• "Breakthrough I" (stage 5) and "Center of the Divine Realm" (stage 16) — PvE fields open: Garden of Divine Beasts and Priest's Dwelling
• "Breakthrough IV" (stage 15) — the Sanctuary zone restrictions are lifted: you can place tribe flags and move in
• "Servants' Dwelling" (stage 17) — the Valkyrie Sanctuary opens for attack
• As stages progress, enemies grow: patrol riders lv. 17–20 (rally only) and realm guardians lv. 47–55, and Multicolored Bridges lv. 5–7 open
• Final stages (24–26) — airfields: first for the Kingdom, then for the Team, then the tribe's own airfield
• Typical stage tasks: occupy fortresses/gates/realms and manors, kill riders and guardians, build forts, accumulate merit

Key objects

• Valkyrie Sanctuary — the central Wonder (realm lv. 8) at the heart of Asgard; the Team holding it at the end wins, and the last owning tribe gets the Victory Emblem
• Divine Realms lv. 5–7 — Muninn's Sacred Dwelling, Huldra's Sacred Cathedral, Hildra's Sacred Temple; capture grants the tribe buffs (the higher the level, the more powerful)
• Catapult Towers — 4 defensive towers around the Sanctuary; in the hands of an enemy tribe they strike the Sanctuary's defenders every 5 minutes, and losses die irrevocably
• Kingdom Fortress — starts damaged: defeat the guardians and repair in 2 stages (resource gathering → hero shard donation); grants buffs and the right to set the Kingdom territory color
• Legion Fortress — an offensive stronghold: first captured after being held, then contested on a timer; grants points, buffs stack
• Divine Realm Gate — sluices between regions: protected → one-way passage → full access (by Chronicle stages)
• Manor — defeat the Sacred General (lv. 4–8, does not respawn) → the manor passes to the Chief and yields Divinity points every hour
• Multicolored Bridge — a neutral one-way passage for gems: only troops lv. 5+, a daily passage limit, and troops are invulnerable during the crossing

Season mechanics

• Intent Survey and Captains — kings vote for allies/opponents by the tiers S+/S/A, and the elected Team captain distributes the starting zones of the three Kingdoms
• Wonder Defenders' Morale — Shield Guardians, Melody Envoys and the Sanctuary Guard Captain reinforce the defense; clearing the surroundings before the assault lowers the difficulty
• Assault on the Sanctuary — first defeat the Guard Captain (summons a clone), while 4 catapult towers that strike defenders to death are contested in parallel
• Rune Giant Ape — the guardian of each Wonder: attacked strictly by one battalion without energy, respawns at 00:00 and 12:00 UTC, drops rune scrolls (temporary buffs)
• Divine Totem — a seasonal tree of 49 blessings of Odin bought with Divinity points from manors; works only in Asgard, healing is with Odin's free potions
• Merit and Seasonal Summon — points only for enemy troops Tier IV+ with a diminishing coefficient; summon attempts come from three sources (capture achievements, personal merit rank, the Team's number of realms)
