Twilight battle
Summary
Twilight Battle was a special Halloween PvP gamemode that was available during Halloweens 2018 and 2022. The gamemode combines battle-royale like elements, previously seen in Rogue Wave, with more traditional two-team PvP gamemodes.
It is related to the Saving Transylvania Halloween operation storyline, and likely takes place chronologically before Terror of the Deep or Last Voyage of Transylvania.
Overview
As a result of Saving Transylvania and Sunray in the Darkness, the Twilight Fleet had sustained huge losses of ships. What did the Intanians think? That they could barge into the Realm of Darkness without warning, sail through their territory, and destroy their ships?
In retaliation, the Twilight Fleet barged into the Realm of Light, but those pesky Intanians fought back, and even attempted to seal the portal.
With two defeats under their belts, the Twilight Fleet would not go easy on the Intanians; and in response, they built new and advanced ships with which they would take ultimate revenge.
These ships, along with their commanders had to prove their strength in a trial by fire, by participating in a death match in a simulation of the Intanian’s home territory. Only the strongest would survive, and only the strongest would be fit to take revenge for the Realm of Darkness.
Gameplay
- 7 vs 7 PvP battles.
- Players have 8 new unique ships they can participate with: Ghoul, Steel Rat, Razorworm, Scarab, Octopus, Varg, Leviathan and Rasputin.
- Each ship has a unique set of special consumables, described in the Playable ships section.
- A ring of filth gradually shrinks around the map, shrinking the battlefield as time goes on.
- If a player exits the ring, they will quickly start losing HP.
Playable ships
