[PART 6.2] LFW Gameplay: CRUSADE - Mixing both PvE and PvP because why not?
Author: Nhan Nguyen
PvE and PvP are two different aspects in the game which require very specific setups to reach the highest potential. These two environments do not go hand in hand and often have opposite requirements for heroes, gear and other miscellaneous elements. However, in Legends of Fantasy War, there is one unique Side Mission that fuses both PvE and PvP into an ultimate challenge of all called “Crusade”.
Crusade is an extremely demanding test for players as they have to balance between PvE and PvP to overcome all challenges.
ENTRY AND REQUIREMENT
Prison is accessible once you reach level 20 on your account. The game will automatically instruct you how to enter this Side Mission when you satisfy the level requirement.
By default, you have 01 chance to set sail and challenge your enemies. You also have an option to reset the crusade and restart with a new one using GEM.
STRUCTURE
Crusade consists of 08 stages which have distinct types of ships:
04 stages of Pirate Ships: these ships are NPCs, which means they are the “PvE aspect” of Crusade.
03 stages of Player Ships: they are the “PvP aspect”. These are basically simulations of LFW players’ squads with the same heroes, gear and levels. The game randomly selects opponents with similar levels and power as your account or slightly stronger.
01 stage of Pirate Boss: the final enemy of Crusade, who is a powerful pirate.
You can only move to the next ship once you successfully defeat the current one.
MECHANIC
It may sound like Prison Side Mission, but what distinguishes Crusade and Prison is the combat mechanic.
In Crusade, heroes are NOT HEALED after each battle. To be more accurate, when you finish a stage and move on to the next one, the heroes’ conditions remain the same as when their previous fight is concluded. So, if a hero in your squad dies at the end of the battle, it cannot be deployed in the next one and will remain unavailable until the crusade ends.
Now it sounds much more difficult, does it not?
The above picture is taken when the fight begins and it can be seen that Sinless only has a third of his HP bar. This is because he lost a portion of his HP in the previous fight and due to the mechanic explained above, his HP is carried on to the next battle.
The Crusade will end after you complete all 08 stages or when you have no heroes left to deploy. In the picture above, the crusade comes to an end as there are no heroes surviving, thus forcing it to end early. You can keep on fighting if you still have heroes to deploy, regardless of their levels or statuses.
REWARDS
The rewards of Crusade makes it absolutely worthwhile. They range from Soul Stones, Crystalized Souls, Mystical Crystal, Raid Orders and so on. The value of the rewards scale with the difficulty of the stages.
Those essential resources can be traded and minted on the LFW Marketplace. So, beside empowering your heroes with what you earn, you can potentially make profits once you reach a certain level of power.
