This Saturday, SUN faced off against the WWH alliance from Server 580. It was an epic battle that ultimately ended in a victory for WWH, although it felt like a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory for SUN, who came just one hit away from taking the Alliance Center.
WWH used a clever defensive strategy by clustering other alliance buildings around their AC as a shield. Most of SUN’s attacks had to come from far away, giving WWH time to react faster than SUN could strike—at least at the start.
WWH held a solid defense for a long time while SUN focused on individual attacks with few rallies. But once SUN members began sending more rallies and overall participation increased, the tide of battle started to shift.
Midway through the fight, our warlord Aragorn8 launched the missile, causing massive damage in the area surrounding WWH’s Alliance Center. From that moment on, their defense began to crack. Not long after, Musa Tara unleashed the mummies on WWH’s outer buildings, significantly weakening their defenses and allowing SUN to quickly destroy all external structures.
Surprisingly, WWH managed to hold the Alliance Center for a long time, even as it was slowly being reduced. As the battle clock wound down, SUN’s attacks intensified, but so did WWH’s desperate defense. One of WWH’s strongest players teleported right next to the AC, blocking SUN from getting close enough, and kept reinforcing the center relentlessly.
With just 5k HP left on WWH’s Alliance Center — just one successful hit away from victory — time ran out, securing the win for WWH. Nevertheless, SUN managed to loot 751k spices, about 65% of what could have been taken with a win.
It was an epic clash, with other alliances also getting involved — some helping SUN, while others tried to disrupt us. Notably, a few players from 3RA, including their leader, interfered against us.
SUN remains strong and well-positioned in the Spice War rankings. What will happen in the next battle when SUN plays defense? We’ll find out soon!
