Meteorite Iron War — Event Guide
1. Introduction
"Meteorite Iron War" is an inter-season event where commanders dispatch their troops to gather resources, compete for points, and earn valuable rewards.
The main goal of the event is to mine Meteorite Iron. However, the event is not limited to simple farming and includes active PvP elements: players can attack each other's bases to plunder rivals and steal the most valuable resources — Meteorite Crystals and Stellar Cores.
2. Event Stages
The event is divided into two stages:
Preview Stage
Usually lasts from Tuesday to Friday. There is no active gameplay in this phase, and you don't need to do anything — a countdown timer just runs 
, warning you when the event will start. 4 servers participate in the battle. During the waiting time, you can:
- Find out exactly which servers are participating in the event.
- See which server the meteorite will fall on and where the Contested Zone will be (although this doesn't play a big role in the actual game mechanics).
Contest Stage and Meteorite Fall
The main active phase, which takes place in two rounds on the same day (usually at 00:10 and 12:30 server time). Each round lasts exactly 30 minutes. It is during these half-hour windows that you need to gather points for the ranking. You can participate in both rounds, but it's quite difficult: the interval between starts is 12 hours, which can be very inconvenient depending on your time zone.
- The Fall: As soon as the round starts, the meteorite falls, creating Low-Yield and High-Yield Areas around the Capitol.
- Attention: All player bases within the impact radius will be knocked back (teleported) to a random location. The impact deals no damage; it simply moves the base, and owners receive compensation in the form of an Alliance Teleporter. Therefore, you should teleport into the newly formed crater immediately after the meteorite falls.
3. How to Earn Points and Key Mechanics
Points in the event are earned in two main ways: by passively staying in the zone and by actively gathering elements on the map. To avoid losing the advantage you've gained, it is important to understand the rules for using Shields and teleporters.
Teleporting to the Contaminated Land
The easiest way. Simply by moving your base inside the crater (into the Contaminated Land), you start passively generating 40 Meteorite Iron per second (up to 72,000 points in 30 minutes). Teleporting from outside into the crater does not consume teleporter items.
Active Gathering
To mine, you need to send an available squad to the spawned point. Players usually gather what appears closest to their base.
Attention: Particularly cunning players might watch your squad on the map. As soon as your squad finishes gathering, they attack it, knock it off the point, and take the element for themselves, without wasting time on the long gathering process.
There are three types of fragments: Meteorite Debris, Meteorite Crystals, and Stellar Cores. Important to remember: gathering Meteorite Debris is allowed under a Peace Shield, but the system will not let you send squads to mine Crystals or Cores while the shield is active.
Meteorite Debris: A safe resource in the Low-Yield Area. Generates 40 points/sec during gathering and an instant 300 points upon completion. Keep your base under a Peace Shield (squads on the gathering points are vulnerable). The main downside is that by gathering only Debris, you won't be able to get all the maximum event rewards.
Meteorite Crystals (High-Yield Area): Generate 80 points/sec during gathering and an instant 1,500 points. You will have to remove your Peace Shield. A crystal delivered to the base begins to passively generate an additional 30 points/sec. Everyone can see that you have crystals. By accumulating a significant amount of them, you will attract strong players who can breach your base and steal your stash.
Stellar Cores (Epicenter near the Capitol): Generate 160 points/sec during gathering and an instant 6,000 points. At the base, a core provides a massive bonus: +120 points/sec. By obtaining even a single Stellar Core, you will instantly become a target for strong players.
Please Note
- Resource loss upon teleportation: If you teleport out of the Contaminated Land (to the regular territory), you will instantly lose all gathered Meteorite Crystals and Stellar Cores, as well as their production bonuses. They are not restored when you return!
4. Event Rewards
Rewards are accumulated across both rounds and are divided into two main categories:
- Point Chests: Awarded as you reach specific thresholds of accumulated Meteorite Iron (from 15,000 to 600,000 points).
- Ranking Rewards: Awarded for your final placement in the individual or alliance leaderboard. The system considers your best result in one of the rounds (for example, if you ranked 10th in the first round and 1st in the second, the game will issue the reward for 1st place).
Possible rewards include: Drone Parts, Diamonds, Honor Points, Chip Materials, Hero Shards, and valuable Exclusive Weapon Chests.
5. Strategy and Conclusion
Choosing a tactic depends entirely on the strength of your account:
- Safe play: Stay in the Low-Yield Area under a constant Peace Shield and gather basic Meteorite Debris.
- Playing for a high score: Disable your Peace Shield, gather Meteorite Crystals and Stellar Cores, but prepare to fiercely defend your base — you will instantly become a priority target for plunder. Be sure to stock up on Advanced Teleporters for maneuvering within the zone or for an emergency escape.
Is it worth the time?
To get the maximum amount of rewards, you will most likely have to actively play both rounds. In practice, this is quite difficult: the difference between starts is 12 hours, and one of the events is guaranteed to fall on an inconvenient time for you or your resting hours.
Many players dislike this event due to its harsh competitive element. "Whales" (strong pay-to-win players) can, right at the end of the 30-minute round, negate all your half-hour efforts in just a couple of attacks. You definitely need to participate in the event for the unique resources, but claiming absolutely all the rewards without a powerful account will be extremely difficult.
