The Sword of Mara - Guide

Sword of Mara


The Goddess Mara has created 25 holy Swords to aid in her struggles against Balur. But to ensure that these Swords are worthy to be her divine weapons, she has cast them down to the mortal realms of Darkshine so that the Lords of Stormfall may forge them into weapons of epic power.


Those with the strength to claim a Sword of Mara from dangerous Battlegrounds can then wield them in battle against other Lords, greatly strengthening their Offensive Units. When two Sword-wielders clash, the Sword of the victor will absorb the power of the Sword belonging to the vanquished. In this way, the power of the Swords will be concentrated, and at the end of this glorious Tournament, they will be returned to Mara’s realm in the heavens.


Until then, however, competition among Lords for these Swords will surely be fierce, for the strength they grant could reshape the balance of power in the land. In her mercy, Mara will revive 90% of those slain in pursuit of her Swords when the Tournament ends, so don’t hold back - claim the power of a Sword of Mara, and make your Sword the strongest in the realm!


During the Sword of Mara Tournament you can attack or defend Battlegrounds Level 100 or higher to have a chance of winning a new special Item - a Sword of Mara. You can receive this Item by winning on a Battleground or by beating the owner of a Sword and stealing it. There are 25 Swords total that can be claimed from Battlegrounds during a single Tournament.

The owner of a Sword of Mara receives the following Bonuses:

  •  90% of all Units lost in PvP attacks as well as 90% of Units lost while defending their Castle end up in a special “Sword of Mara” Infirmary tab
  • These Units can be revived for free after the end of the Tournament.


When the Sword of Mara Tournament ends, players who lost Units in Tournament-related battles can revive 90% of those Units for free. This includes Units lost:

  • While you are using a Sword of Mara
  • Attacking Sword of Mara owners
  • Defending your Castles, Hamlets, Beacons or League Fortresses from Sword of Mara owners
  • Reinforcing the Castle of a Sword of Mara owner

In other words, all PvP battles involving a Sword of Mara owner will give the participants the opportunity to revive 90% of lost Units for free after the end of this event. This bonus does not apply to Units lost while attacking a Sword of Mara owner outside their Castle (for example, after attacking a Beacon reinforced with a Sword of Mara owner’s Units).


The Units from the “Sword of Mara” Infirmary tab can be also revived instantly for Sapphires during the Tournament with a 90% discount.


Sword of Mara owners display


In the Tournament window or on the Global Map all Players can view:

  • How many Swords of Mara remain to be claimed from Battlegrounds
  • Players who have Swords of Mara
  • The Level of each Sword of Mara



Sword of Mara Offensive Bonus


The bonus provided by a Sword of Mara depends on its Level. Level 1 Swords must be improved to Level 2 to have an  effect.

Level 2 Sword multiplies offensive and spying characteristics of their offensive Units by 2.
Level 3 Sword multiplies offensive and spying characteristics of Units by 3.
Level 4 Sword multiplies offensive and spying characteristics of Units by 4.
Level 5 Sword multiplies offensive and spying characteristics of Units by 5.

Example: Player’s Units Offense equals 5,000K. If he receives a Sword of Mara and upgrades it to its maximum Level 5, their army strength equals 25,000K.

A Sword of Mara is always Level 1 when received at a Battleground. A Sword owner can upgrade it by successfully attacking other Sword owners at their Castles. The maximum Sword of Mara Level is 5.

To upgrade a Sword, a Sword owner has to successfully attack another Sword owner in their Castle. Beating a Sword owner if you have a Sword will destroy their Sword and add the Level of their Sword to yours.

Example 1:

  • Player_1 with Level 1 Sword attacks Player_2 with Level 1 Sword in their Castle and wins.
  • Player_1’s Sword of Mara upgrades to Level 2 (offensive power of their Units multiplied by 2).
  • Player_2 loses their Sword of Mara.

Example 2:

  • Player_1 with Level 2 Sword attacks Player_2 with Level 3 Sword in their Castle and wins.
  • Player_1’s Sword of Mara upgrades to Level 5 (offensive power of their Units multiplied by 5).
  • Player_2 loses their Sword of Mara.

If a Player with a Level 5 Sword successfully attacks another Sword owner, the Sword of the defending Player will disappear (Level 5 Sword cannot be upgraded any higher).


If Player does not have a Sword and beats a Player who does, there is a good chance to steal it, but there is a small chance it will be destroyed instead.


Spying characteristics of Spying Units also are multiplied by Sword of Mara Level.


Sword owner attack limits

Each Player is limited in the number of times a Sword of Mara can provide them a bonus, based on a maximum number of these actions:

  1. 10 Beacon attacks
  2. 30 Spying Missions of any PvP object
  3. 30 attacks on any PvP object

When a Sword owner has used up all their Sword uses of a certain type, the Offensive Bonus does not apply to a Sword owner’s army for any more of those missions. When all uses have been expended, the Sword can no longer provide any benefit. But special revival conditions will still apply to a Sword owner’s Units until the end of Tournament.


If a Player steals a Sword of Mara from another Player, that specific Sword does not “remember” how many times it was used for the purpose of the usage limits above. The limits are tracked per-Player, not per-Sword.



End of the Sword of Mara Tournament


After the end of the Tournament, all Swords will disappear, and their Offensive Bonus will stop affecting Units. All Players who participated in the Tournament (including Sword owners and Players who attacked or reinforced them) are able to revive 90% of Units lost in Sword battles for free.


Important

Players who have Weor’s Protection or Spy Protection of any duration active cannot win a Sword of Mara at a Battleground. Sword owners cannot apply these Items while they have a Sword of Mara.


The Offensive Bonus is applied at the time of the actual battle. If a Player loses their Sword while their Units are in transit, the Offensive power of their Units in the battle they arrive at will not be affected by the Sword Bonus.

During the Sword of Mara Tournament, Beacons do not lose Upgrade Levels after being captured by another League.

Ugh I hate tournaments like this. Skews the ranking system so badly. Someone who’s been stacking their offends is about to get like 10 million offence points lol

I though this could be a way to see a bigger (VIP and coinners) players fight each other, and that is ok, but they start to use that power to smash smallest leagues.

As predicted this just broke the rankings lol. It’s a battle of the big boys essentially. Once you get rank 5 you just wreck people. I’ve seen people jump over people in rankings in 1 day that took people years to get. There’s literally people out there getting 70 million offense points. That’s more than almost everyone in the game with exception to the top 5 which took years of playing to even get...

Thank you for creating a tournament where a handful of biggest players could cut through the biggest fortresses like butter and ruin years of hard work by hundreds and hundreds of others.  Great idea.  I’ve watched the day’s events unfold and you just repeated the beacon massacre disaster.  Brilliant.

Maybe they were their longtime enemies.
More exactly, they wanted to smash a long time ago lol

I want to highlight one important moment: after the Tournament not only owners of Swords can revive 90% of their losses for free, but all other players who had PvP with them also will be able to do the same. 


No, not with how the sword owners took down the fortresses.  They used sword players to weaken the fortresses then other players to kill off everything else so there would be no revive.  Only a portion of what was killed off in these fortresses will get the 90% revive.  The rest is gone.

Lords and Ladies, I know the main concern of all players after this Tournament is League Fortresses.

I already forwarded to devs the feedback on making them protected from downgrades during the Event and I really hope they will implement it in the future.

I understand you spent a lot of time on upgrading Fortresses, but at least Units you lost there can be revived.

I'm sure devs will analyze all feedback they received from you and some changes will be done to the Tournament.
There needs to be a lot of work done to this tournament. Create a post and see what they would rather see in this event than what developers think they want. This game itself has amazing potential to continue to grow and expand if the developers listen to what the players feel and how they do or do not enjoy a new feature

Das Event ist totaler Müll. Die 3-4 Offensiv stärksten Spieler holen die Schwerter. Alle anderen haben gar keine Chance. Die 5fach Offensive wird natürlich genutzt um Festungen zu crashen. Schwerter werden so lange weiter gereicht bis eine Festung gefallen ist. Als Verteidiger hat man keinen Bonus und kann nur zusehen wie teuer und mühsam aufgebaute Festungen fallen. Eine solche Verzerrung des Wettbewerbs macht das Spiel kaputt. Das ist das Ende von Festungen höher als 5. die werden alle fallen. Als normaler Spieler fühlt man sich betrogen.

What a waste of time just another example of splitting stormfall in two. The haves and the have nots. What about the leagues who’s players are under level 100. It’s a joke.  Just look at the players who hold the swords not one under level 100. Now all the swords are gone what is the point of the tournament for all your other players 
I completely agree with what you've said. If you could suggest something that can be changed to make it not so one sided..what would you suggest?

Bei dem Event weiß man schon vorher das man 10% seiner Truppen verliert und seine Festung gesenkt wird. Eine Level 20 Festung ist im Normalfall kaum zu stürzen. Mit diesem Schwert ist es eine Leichtigkeit.  Das ist nicht spannend und macht keinen Spaß. Nur der Schwert Besitzer hat Spaß sonst niemand. Das Konzept muss komplett überarbeitet werden. So macht es keinen Sinn

If you could change one thing about this event, what would it be?


I am just curious because you hate tournaments like this and say they screw the ranking system. I wont tell you if I agree or disagree until you answer lol but i want to hear what others think to see if sometimes I am the over irrational one or not :)

Well in that case losses were on both sides and a fortress is always at risk. Would you happen to have any suggestions on what to change to make the event more positive in future?


Yes, but many of those fortresses wouldn’t have been touched if there wasn’t a sword owner to come though first and break them down so significantly.  I’ve even seen sword owners mention they hope this tournament doesn’t happen again, despite all the stuff they destroyed.  They knew this was a bad move for the game.  


Simple suggestion, take fortresses out like I said above.  Swords shouldn’t be able to be used on them.  There are plenty of other pvp opportunities in the game where they can be used and the tournament can still be interesting.

We haved two players with sword and others players start to defend them.  was something fun, only for xp points And a very poor PvP tournament.

Thanks for sharing your vies on this event. Do you have any suggestions for the future youd do differently with this event or any ways youd find it more exciting?

Lol yea it was honesty a bigger fail than beacon massacres in my opinion. I feel bad for all the leagues with downgraded fortresses now. As well as everyone who worked years to climb the rankings and watch someone gain 5x their total points in the matter of 1 day

Spieler, die sich vor Schwertbesitzern schützen, erhalten auch Wiederbelebungsvorteile.

Sie können diese Top-Spieler wie nie zuvor angreifen und immer noch Spaß haben.

Wir geben alle Rückmeldungen an die Entwickler für zukünftige Veranstaltungen weiter.

Players who protect themselves from sword owners also receive resurrection benefits.

You can attack these top players like never before and still have fun.

We pass on all feedback to the developers for future events.


Gandalf,hier kannst Du nichts schönreden, ob ich 90 % wiederbeleben kann ist zweitrangig. Fakt ist, hier wurden die großen Spieler bevorteilt und Festungen wurden gesenkt wo Spieler über viele Monate gearbeitet haben diese zu stabilisieren. Bei uns ist ein Spieler der durch dieses Event von Level 113 auf 130 gestiegen ist. Dies ist einmalig, seit ich in diesem Spiel bin. Das demotiviert und einige Spieler haben angekündigt das Spiel zu verlassen. Irgendwie habe ich den Eindruck, dass PLARIUM dem Spiel den "Todesstoss" versetzen will.



if I can revive 90% is secondary. Fact is, here the big players were favored and fortresses were lowered where players worked for many months to stabilize them. We have one player who climbed from level 113 to 130 through this event. This is unique since I am in this game. That demotivated and some players have announced to leave the game. Somehow I have the impression that PLARIUM wants to put the game to death.


Wir werden das Feedback geben, dass zukünftige Ereignisse vorzugsweise keine Festung einschließen sollten oder dass es weniger effektiv in Schadenersatz sein sollte.

Wir verstehen, was Sie sagen und wir schätzen Ihre Vorschläge.


We will give the feedback that future events should preferably not include a fortress or that it should be less effective in damages.

We understand what you say and we appreciate your suggestions.

Any game suggestions we as players make that shift the balance are refused. And what did plarium do ? They allowed a happy few to become cruelmonsters doing 2 things. Giving them up to 400% extra force and at the same time allowing a 90% revive of their losses.  Many leagues were demoted and many players are disappointed. A black day for many and only a handfull  will applaud this new feature. Plarium is cutting down on their own revenues on this one. I suggest the while idea of this sword is abandonned or its effects are decreased heavily
