Siege Season 5 rehearsals will resume on Sunday, May 6th 2018 and have been changed since it’s first announcement in April. The changes have been made in reflection of the community feedback and are listed below.
Basic Information
Siege time:
Saturday at 21:00 – 23:00
Node war times:
Sunday to Friday at 21:00 – 23:00
Nodes types:
- Basic Node – These nodes are designed for a small/new guilds as an introduction to Node wars. If a guild owns a Basic Node however, they are unable to participate in a Regular Node war.
- Regular Node – These nodes have a mixture of low and high tax and there is no restriction on who can participate. A guild must own a Regular Node to be able to participate in a Siege Node war.
- Siege Node – If you own the Siege Node, you will be able to participate in the Territory Siege for the same territory. For example, if you own the Siege Node in Calpheon, you will be able to participate in the Siege on Saturday for Calpheon Castle, but you will not be able to participate in the siege for any other region (Mediah, Valencia, etc.)

- Defending Guild – This guild must destroy the Attacking Guild’s fort to win.

**Tax will now be paid to the guild immediately after winning a node/siege.

Guild Siege Duel
The Siege Duel system was first mentioned at the Festa Event in December 2017 and its purpose is to add a 1v1 duel system which will take place before the siege starts. The victorious side will receive a small buff for their members, giving them a slight advantage in the siege.
- Siege participating guilds can participate in a 1v1 duel between the Defending guild and the Attacking guild.
- The guild leader of the Attacking guild can request a duel before the siege begins at around 20:50.
- The request will then be sent to the Defending guild’s leader and can be accepted.
- If the Defending guild’s leader is not online, the Attacking guild will automatically win the duel.
- The winning guild will receive a small buff, designed to help them and give them a slight advantage in the siege. More information will be available in the KR patch notes on May 17th.
