Canyon Clash
Our weekly alliance battlefield. Won by controlling the map, not by kills: hold your zone, hit the boss at 5 and 15, all-in on the Energy Cell at 20.
A points race won by coordination, not raw power: a coordinated ThO beats a stronger, disorganized alliance every time.
The map
Four squad zones (A top, B right, C bottom, D left), each with 5 numbered HQ start positions, all converging on the central Energy Cell. Assignments are set each week by who's participating. Plan with the Canyon Map Planner.
How capturing works
- March troops to an uncaptured or enemy-held building: it captures automatically.
- Bigger armies capture faster and beat defenders. Never send lone scouts.
- Captured buildings generate benefits for the team: leave troops to hold them.
- Outnumbered? Pull back and call for backup.
Formations
- 1st formation (strongest): attack and fight over key objectives.
- 2nd / 3rd formations: hold and defend captured buildings.
Squad zones
Check chat before the match for your squad and numbered start position.
🟢 A Squad: Top zone
- Spawn at A1–A5. Take and hold the top-zone buildings + the nearby Field Hospital.
- Strongest formations on the Hospital; light formations hold the refineries.
🔴 B Squad: Right zone
- Spawn at B1–B5. Capture the right-column buildings and refineries.
- Capture fast, hold light, stay mobile. The Canyon Captain sits in your corner (top-right).
🔵 C Squad: Bottom zone / strike force
- Spawn at C1–C5. Hold the bottom zone + the second Field Hospital, then flex:
- Start: disrupt the enemy's economy.
- 10 min: contest Military Centers.
- 5 & 15 min: push the Canyon Captain.
- 20 min: all-in on the central Energy Cell.
🟠 D Squad: Left zone
- Spawn at D1–D5. Take and hold the Military Bases + left-side refineries.
- Leave strong troops at every base; light formations on refineries.
