Archons, Persian forces are rising once again!

This Tournament lasts five days and is open to players at Level 40 and above who have built both the Tholos and the Oracle.

While it is on, you must collect Hideout Articles, enter Hideouts, and annihilate the Persian Forces who dwell within them.

You will earn Tournament Points when you:

- Clear Persian Positions

- Enter Hideouts 

- Clear Hideouts

Clear as many Hideouts of enemies as possible and climb as high as you can in the Rankings to ensure you receive the best Rewards.

It is high time to strike down Persian forces!

🌟 Entering and Clearing Hideouts

Before you can enter a Hideout, you will need to collect a set of five Hideout Articles. When the Tournament begins, these Articles will become available as Rewards for conquering Persian Positions and completing Tournament Tasks. 

Having collected a set of five Articles, you will then be able to enter a Hideout and engage the Persians who dwell within them.

To clear a Hideout, you must successfully attack or defend it. Having done so, you must once again collect a set of five Hideout Articles before you can enter the next one. Bear in mind that once you choose to attack a Hideout, you cannot switch to defending it, and vice versa. 

What’s more, you can only enter one Hideout at a time, and Hideouts can only be entered sequentially.

If you clear the twentieth Hideout, you can collect another set of Hideout Articles, enter the twentieth Hideout again, and clear it of enemies to earn extra Rewards and Tournament Points. You may do this up to 40 times.

Remember, even if you have entered the twentieth Hideout the maximum number of times, you can still earn Tournament Points by clearing Positions and Campaign MIssion Positions, and you can continue to complete Tournament Tasks to acquire Hideout Articles which can be traded at the Port.

If you enter a Hideout but do not clear it before the Tournament ends, you will still be able to access it via the Oracle. You can continue to fight in the Hideout until you clear it in order to earn Rewards, but you will not receive Tournament Points.

🌟 Hideout Articles

To enter a Hideout, you will need to collect a set of five Hideout Articles. While the Tournament is on, Articles can be earned as Rewards for victories at Persian Positions as well as for completing Tournament Tasks. 

Tournament Tasks will be refreshed each day. Be warned that all Tasks, including those in progress, will be replaced by new ones at each reset. Progress on incomplete tasks will be lost, but if you have completed Tasks with unclaimed Rewards, you will have until the end of the Tournament to claim those Rewards.

You can also trade Hideout Articles with other players at the Port up to five minutes before the end of the Tournament, and send them as gifts.

When the Tournament ends, any Hideout Articles you hold will be lost.

🌟 Rewards

When you clear a Hideout, you will receive Rewards similar to those you get from Persian Positions. You will also receive a Reward from the “Rewards List” in the Tournament tab of the Event window.  

The further you progress through the Hideouts, the greater the chance you will receive the most valuable Rewards on the List, and the more Tournament Points you will earn for each Hideout you clear.

Just like with Persian Positions, if you gain little from clearing Hideouts do not despair, for every enemy you defeat increases the odds of a larger payout next time.

Upon completion of the Tournament, you will earn further Rewards if you have amassed enough Tournament Points to take one of the top spots in the Rankings for your League or gain a place in the Supreme League.

Clear as many Hideouts as possible and rank high to ensure you receive the best Rewards!
