Odra Online currently features three unique game modes: Confrontation, Harvest, and Holdout. That's what a person who hasn't had time to appreciate all that the game has to offer at the moment would say. In fact, there are four such modes. And about the last of them, but not in terms of importance and even more uniqueness, we will now tell you.
Battle Pits - a special PvE-mode, in which the player has to take control of his squad, which must repel progressively arriving waves of enemies, including units with high levels, and units of higher 2nd rank, and even mini-bosses, which except for Battle Pits can be found now only in Harvest.
One of the important advantages of this mode is that it is not secondary in any possible sense. Battle Pits has its own ranking table with opportunities to win rewards at the end of the season, there is a separate table for paired games with other rewards. Yes, you have the opportunity to crush AI (we should note, bots in the game should not be underestimated) together with your partner now. Agree with your buddy, show your skills together and climb to the top - what could be better?
Fighting pits are divided into stages, which change in the game every 10 rounds, if by the time the 11th round starts all the opponents of the previous stage have already been defeated. Places of Power appear during the game according to the standard rules and are activated on the third round after their appearance. Thanks to them you can maintain your units' resource reserves during the whole race - you can convert the whole squad into 2nd rank units, heal wounded fighters, restore the number of skills. And sometimes it will be extremely useful to finish a mini-boss with “Deathstroke”. Similar to “Harvest”, every few rounds 3-4 enemy units enter the arena with the probability of a mini-boss of the same rank as the units that entered the arena. In case of an early victory over all stage opponents, you have time to prepare - take positions, heal units with healers and Strength Points, and recover.
“Why is it possible to select a stage in the Battle Pits game menu if they change already in the game?” - you ask... It's all about your ranked progress being saved. Let's say you've been frantically pumping your units for months and you've checked out the Battle Pits to conquer them here and now. You made it to stage 4 and lost, scoring 670 points. The author of this article, at least, mastered this mode this way.
This means that now you can start from stage 1 to stage 4 with the specified number of points. If it's stage 4, you start with 600 points as if you had accumulated them from scratch from stage 1, but it's not that simple. For one thing, the power level of your opponents grows with each stage. If on stage 1 you face units of rank 1 “Champion” level, on stage 2 it will be “Elite”. On the 3rd, it's 2nd rank Champion level units, and on the 4th, it's already Elite. It seems more profitable to start over to have time to convert all units and accumulate power points? On the one hand, yes.
We won't tell you and bore you with numbers, but we'll note that the number of strength points and even the rank of the units you can place varies at different stages. The main thing is to reach the necessary stages. In addition, starting from the last stage ensures that all your units have full health bars and ability pools.
