Alliance Quest Meta Events: Rampant Evolution
A new challenge awaits your Alliance in the Battlerealm! The
Rampant Evolution Meta Event is the first of a new, week-long Alliance Quest, designed to bridge the gap between Regular AQ and the intensity of Raids.
This event is built around
AQ: Ramp-Tagged Champions. You will need to utilize and ramp up their abilities to take on new Bosses and tougher-than-usual Defenders with increased health pools. Prepare for a unique test of skill and power!
A lot of things have changed, and some have stayed the same, as outlined below.
Event Details
- Rotation: The Rampant Evolution event will be added to the weekly Alliance Quest (AQ) rotation, appearing once a month in the Week 2 event slot. This means you will alternate between the AQ Meta Event and the Raid Event every other week. Regular AQ will continue to run during these events.
- Coliseum Note: The Coliseum event will also run within the 4 week event slots but its cadence is tbd. It will only spawn during the week 1 or 3 slot.
- Event Duration: The event runs for one map over the course of one week.
- Enlisting: Similar to Raids. Look for the yellow META button on the enlistment screen to join the event.
- Difficulties: There are two difficulty tiers, each carefully tuned to challenge a specific player group:
- Standard Map: Targeted at Map 5 & Map 6 players.
- Hard Map: Targeted at Map 7 & Map 8 players.
- Roster Size: Two champions will be available to choose from when joining the event.
Map Structure
The map has been structured for a balanced, strategic, and engaging experience, built with modularity in mind for future updates.
Hard Map
Standard Map
- Balance: All paths contain an equal number of fights to help balance the map.
- Challenge Structure (Sections & Lanes):
- Sections (Horizontal): The map is divided horizontally into three Sections. A single buff profile is shared across all defenders within one Section.
- Lanes (Vertical): Within each Section, vertical Lanes provide path options that always converge toward a Mini- or Final Boss.
- Movement Flexibility: Teleporters have been added to provide greater lane-to-lane movement flexibility, allowing your Alliance to adapt to the map as needed.
- Paths and Bosses:
- Standard Map: Features 6 paths total, providing greater flexibility for full exploration.
- Hard Map: Features 8 paths total, providing some flexibility for full exploration.
- Boss Encounters: You will face more bosses than a normal AQ map, with each of the three Sections featuring three Bosses (for a total of 6 Mini-Bosses and 3 Final-Bosses). All Bosses within a Section share the same buff profile.
- Defenders and Tuning:
- Dynamic Defender Pools: We’ve built a system that spawns a new set of Defenders each time the event runs, while the Bosses remain the same. This system uses a curated pool of Champions, but it may result in duplicate Defenders on the map.
- Increased Challenge: Defender health pools have been dramatically increased to challenge your ability to ramp up your champions. Successfully ramping up your champions will be key to making fights easier as you progress.
- Bonus Buffs: You will be able to select unique buffs designed to enhance the "ramping" abilities of your champions and support your progression through the map.
Attacker Pool:
- We’ve created a pool of tagged champions that will be required to enter the event. The event will auto-filter your roster when you select champs at entry.
- The event requires a specific pool of tagged Champions to balance the experience. We reserve the right to review and adjust the list of required Champions in the future.
Attacker Buffs:
- Attacker buffs for this event are designed to enhance specific champions or mechanics. For this initial event, all buffs are fully available for testing and exploration.
Boss and Defender Info:
Tuning & Reward Overview
- Honor Rewards: Honor event rewards have been added to the events' Peak Milestone rewards. The AQ Meta doesn't utilize Modifiers or Honor Score.
