Dear players,

Brand New Content
I. Brand-new Gameplay: [Golden Roc Escort]
Basic Rules
1. Each match is split into two halves, with teams taking turns playing as the Attackers and the Defenders.
2. During the first half, the Attackers must capture the Spirit Well, then summon and escort a Golden Roc to the destination to destroy a Border Stele. The Defenders must prevent this from happening.
3. In the second half, the teams swap roles and compete again.
Victory Conditions
1. After swapping sides, the targets and allotted time for the second half will be adjusted based on how well Attackers did in the first half.
2. If the second-half attackers can match the first-half progress within a certain time limit, they win; otherwise, it's a tie or loss.
Others
1. When defeated, select a Soul Altar on the map to revive.
2. Once the Spirit Well is captured, two Golden Rocs will appear with different routes. The Attackers only need to escort one of them to the destination.
3. The game will enter overtime if the Attackers are still within range of the Spirit Well or Golden Roc when regular match time expires.
4. Once overtime is up, the game will end immediately.
5. Soul Lantern: Across the map, you will find Soul Lanterns that can be activated to restore your Armor, Health, and Rage. Additionally, they provide a temporary boost to your Attack and Melee Resist. Once a lantern is used, it will go on cooldown.
