Buildings and What They Do

Buildings give temporary Relic Points too. If you lose the building, those temp points drop as Arsenal Supplies on the ground and can be collected by either side. Below is the Swordland Showdown map made by Sgt Slayer (credit to him!)

• Swordshrine (Center): The center of Swordland Showdown Map. Produces continuous Relic Points
• Sanctums: Near the Swordshrine. Control both for even more points
• Abbeys: Give points over time
• Hall of Reformation: Boosts your combat power
• Belltower: Speeds up building captures
• Royal Stables: Shortens teleport cooldown by 50%

How to Win Swordland Showdown

Winning Swordland Showdown mainly comes down to teamwork and how active your alliance members are. But there are still a few things you can do to give your team a better shot at winning and staying ahead of the enemy alliance

1. Only Register Active Members

The most important thing is to only register members who are actually going to show up. If you sign up 30 people and only 15 log in, it messes up matchmaking and you'll have a much harder time winning. So make sure to tell everyone: don't sign up unless you...

2. Use Labels to Coordinate

Alliance leaders should use labels or markers to guide players on what to attack and which buildings to go for. It helps a ton, especially when people get lost or confused mid-battle
