Sky Battlefront: The Sky Predator Event

Sky Battlefront is a 7-day warzone-wide event where alliances coordinate to build and deploy the Sky Predator airship against an enemy warzone. It first appears in the 5th week after warzone launch and recurs during off-season periods. This is one of the most coordination-heavy events in the game — individual power matters less than alliance organisation.

Event Structure: Three Stages

The event runs Monday through Sunday with three distinct stages. Each stage requires different preparation and a different mindset.

Stage 1: Donation Phase (Monday–Thursday)

Platform Deployment

The Warzone President chooses a location to build the airship's starting platform at the beginning of the event. If the President does not choose a location within 12 hours, the system assigns one automatically.

Earning Airship Tokens

You can earn up to 50 tokens per day by completing the following tasks:

Every member should hit 50 tokens every day. The daily login alone gives 15, and the remaining 35 come from activities you should be doing anyway. Missing even one day across your alliance adds up quickly.

Construction Milestones

Global construction is divided into three stages, each requiring 25,000 tokens from the entire warzone:

1. Stage 1 (25,000 tokens) — Airship frame assembled. Reward chests for all participants
2. Stage 2 (50,000 tokens total) — Airship systems online. Better reward chests
3. Stage 3 (75,000 tokens total) — Airship combat-ready. Best reward chests

After construction completes, a Rush Phase begins where additional donations no longer build the ship but enhance its combat stats — HP, Damage, and Defence — for the upcoming battle. Tokens donated during Rush directly affect how strong your airship is in the Battle Stage.

Supply Tiles

During the Donation Phase, special Resource Tiles and Supply Tiles appear on the map with bonus effects for your alliance. Use your Recon Plane to scout and secure these tiles early — they provide free resources and bonus tokens that add up over four days.

Stage 2: Battle Phase (Friday–Saturday)

Launching the Sky Predator

Only the Warzone President can select the enemy warzone target and launch the Sky Predator. The airship travels in Teleport Mode, which takes time. Upon arrival, it automatically begins dealing damage to the enemy warzone.

Simultaneously, the enemy warzone's Sky Predator is heading toward you. Your warzone must both attack the enemy airship and defend against theirs.

Rally Mechanics

Rally leaders should use their strongest squads. The specific hero compositions will vary by season — see the season-specific Sky Predator guides for recommended rally setups.

The Shield and Berserk System

This is the most important mechanic of the Battle Stage. Understanding it determines whether you win or lose.

When rally damage drops the enemy Sky Predator's HP below certain thresholds, it activates a temporary shield:

1. Shield activates at HP thresholds (approximately 70%, 30%, and near-death)
2. Your alliance has a limited time window to break the shield
3. If you break the shield in time — combat continues normally
4. If you fail to break the shield — the airship enters Berserk Mode

Berserk Mode Consequences

Berserk Mode is devastating and should be avoided at all costs:

• Incoming damage to your alliance troops increases dramatically
• The airship fires stronger, more frequent attacks at your bases
• Subsequent shields become shorter and harder to break
• Your final damage score and rewards are significantly reduced
• Wall Durability on player bases drops rapidly

Rally Coordination: The 5-Second Rule

The key to shield-breaking and maximum damage output is synchronisation:

All rallies must launch within a 5-second window. This concentrates damage into a single burst that either:

• Skips the shield trigger entirely by pushing HP past the threshold before the shield activates
• Delivers enough burst to break an active shield within the time window

Rally Timing Strategy

Defence During Battle Stage

While you are attacking the enemy's Sky Predator, their airship is attacking your warzone:

• The enemy airship fires at random targets, setting player bases on fire
• Wall Durability decreases with each hit — repair walls between attacks
• Stock up on teleports before the Battle Stage to reposition defensively
• Weaker members should shield up if their walls are low

Stage 3: Calculation and Rewards (Sunday)

On the final day, results are tallied across two ranking systems:

Both individual and alliance rewards are distributed based on these rankings. HP Stage Rewards are also granted when the enemy airship's HP is reduced to 70%, 30%, and 0%.

After the enemy airship is destroyed, reward chests with trophies drop on the map. These must be collected quickly — have members ready to grab them as soon as they appear.

Pre-Event Preparation Checklist

Start preparing 2-3 days before the event begins:

1. Stockpile Airship Token sources — have daily tasks ready to complete immediately on Monday
2. Stock up on teleports — you will need them for defensive repositioning during the Battle Stage
3. Identify rally leaders — your strongest players should lead rallies
4. Establish a coordination channel — real-time communication is essential for the 5-second rally window
5. Brief your alliance — ensure every member understands the token tasks and daily 50-token target
6. Heal all troops — maximum army strength before the Battle Stage
7. Repair walls — full Wall Durability going into Friday

Leadership Responsibilities

R4 and R3 members play a critical role throughout the event:

Common Mistakes

1. President deploys the platform late — every hour of delay costs the entire warzone tokens and Rush Phase time
2. Members skip daily token tasks — 50 tokens per day is not optional. Missing days means a weaker airship
3. Stopping donations after construction completes — Rush Phase enhancements are the difference between a strong and weak airship
4. Launching rallies out of sync — staggered rallies deal less damage and fail to break shields, triggering Berserk Mode
5. Triggering Berserk Mode — poor rally coordination is the number one reason alliances lose this event
6. Ignoring defence during the Battle Stage — the enemy airship hits your bases too. Repair walls and shield weak members
7. Not collecting reward chests — chests drop on the map after the enemy airship is destroyed. If nobody picks them up, the rewards are lost
8. No real-time communication — this event cannot be played passively. Alliance chat or an external coordination channel is mandatory during the Battle Stage
