These Aitan Arena battles are held twice a day from the PvE channels and anyone over level 11 can participate against others of equal level. However, the rewards of surviving and defeating other players in the Aitan Arena can be great, as you can earn tons of honor points, medals, and items. Unlike the battlegrounds, if your character is defeated in the Aitan Arena, you’re out for the rest of the match. First off, players of the same nation compete with up to 200 players on teams of two. team based PvP mode with some special conditions. Despite the hectic action taking place, I was able to pick off a few players and assisted my allies to re-capturing the relic. Trying to pick out enemies in on the battlefield was fairly difficult for me, but I would later figure out that I could have simply used the TAB key to locate and target the closest enemy. Swords and shields clashed, magic was cast all over the place, and soldiers were dropping like flies. (or was it the Algon Temple again? I’m not sure.) The confrontation with Nanov was fierce. Lashen then redirected all units to head for the temple at Tabaza and we were able to capture the relic with ease.Īfter we captured the relic at Tabaza, Lashen ordered all players to rush back to the Amarkand Temple as the nation of Vanov was attacking a previously captured relic. Even during the mass mayhem of a relic war, Lashen was calm and collected when giving orders (especially considering that he was working in the front lines of the war, too!). Players with alliances with other nations were gunning for the relics and each other. GMLingo then ported me over to the ruins of Algon so that I could witness the mayhem. Unfortunately for me, I ended up heading for the temple at Tabaza, instead. When the relic war began, Lashen instructed everyone to head straight for the temple at the Ruins of Algon. Lord Marshall Lashen has been a part of Aika Online since closed beta testing and really knows a thing or two about how relic wars typically go down. Essentially, their decisions can become major influences for the well being of each nation. They control tax rates, relic upgrades, nation alliances and more. Speaking of which: Lord Marshals are the leaders of each nation. The buffs received from these relics can be stacked, so nations will do whatever it takes to control as may relics as possible.ĭuring the first half of the relic war, I was greeted by Lord Marshall Lashen of the Alethius nation who gave me the basics of warfare. Nations that have control over these relics can receive many different kinds of buffs. Relic Wars is the most popular PvP event in Aika Online, where nations go head to head in large-scale wars to control objects called relics. Honor points can be used to earn extra EXP, special equipment and more, so players that constantly use the battlegrounds can earn lots of great benefits for their character. My team ended up winning the match with a very strong lead and I managed to snag some honor points on the side. With my warrior, I attempted to go Rambo on some of the enemies and was able to take down a couple of them before falling to my doom. My team was primarily fixated on rushing the other team down, and it worked to some degree. Luckily, I was able to make do without them thanks to the party alliance that was formed during the beginning of the match. When I entered the first battlegrounds match, I quickly realized that I had forgotten to pick up some skills for my warrior. Setting up matches in the battlegrounds uses a room based system which is simple and easy to use for creating and joining matches. Players will earn points for defeating enemy players and the first team to reach the target score wins. The battlegrounds is a straight up team battle where players of each nation can join up with each other and set up battles against other players with several different match options. So for starters, I met up with GMAugury to take a look at one of the first PvP event of the day: The Battlegrounds. I had the feeling that would miss some important bits information or something, but as we got the ball rolling, I felt more and more comfortable about the whole thing. To be honest, when the tour first got started, I was feeling a bit nervous since this was my first time covering an event. In this tour, we’ll be taking a quick peek at some of the PvP modes that Aika Online has to offer, including Relic Wars, Battlegrounds, and the Aitan Arena. Players can create characters with allegiances to five different nations and compete in small-scale battles for glory and bragging rights, or engage in huge 2000 player wars that could shape the face of an entire nation.
