This Indestructible is Removed if the Attacker triggers a Special Attack, and goes on cooldown for 15 seconds when Indestructible Buff ends for any reason.

Rewards Update:
We’ve refreshed the rewards for Alliance Wars Seasons! The Season Rewards identity has always been a little bit of everything, and lacked an identity of their own. Summoners have also let us know that they did not like the idea of Season Crystals, which contained Random Rewards, so Alliances that worked hard together could get very different rewards at the end of the Season.This Season, we’ve removed Season Crystals, and focused our top rewards to be about High End Rank Up Resources, and Crystal Shards!
Note: The Tier 5 Class Catalyst Fragment Crystals in the Top Ranks differ by Rank.
Master Rank 1 - 25% T5CC Crystal
Master Rank 2 - 10% T5CC Crystal
Master Rank 3 - Platinum 4 - 2% T5CC Crystal
Countdown
Alliance Wars Season 15 kicks off on January 15th, but you’ll be able to try out the new Defense Tactics on January 10th.27
