Crystal Clash
Match objective
Alliance score is the main win condition.
- Hold and defend buildings long enough to receive periodic Crystal Points.
- Personal score comes from attacking enemy bases or buildings and eliminating troops.
- Engineers add score by collecting Crystal dropped during building fights and by mining Crystal on the map.
Core rule: Holding buildings and collecting Crystal matters more than chasing personal kills. Keep only two or three shared objectives active at a time instead of scattering strong players around the map.
High kills do not make up for losing buildings. After a successful capture, keep the building defended instead of leaving it empty to chase enemies.
Choose the role your team needs
Commander, Warrior, and Engineer have different jobs. Commander does not automatically mean Alliance leader, and Engineer is not a lesser role: Engineers can score heavily without wasting troops when they collect Crystal on time.
| Role | Main value | Best team job |
|---|---|---|
 Commander |
Stronger attacks, a larger rally, and faster movement. | Open one focused rally, break defenses, and lead priority captures. |
 Warrior |
Faster rally joining, stronger troops in rallies or garrisons, and free soldier recovery. | Fill rallies, capture important points, and garrison held buildings. |
 Engineer |
More Crystal, faster gathering at Crystal Depots, and a teleport reset. | Collect Crystal and rotate around the map. |
Match phases
Building names in this section link to their entry in Building reference.
Phase 1: Secure the board
Phase focus: Crystal Ironhold + Crystal Prison → Energy Hub → Refinement Center
- Two Warriors take the nearby Crystal Ironhold and Crystal Prison without teleporting if possible. Use as many shield troops as possible to make a held building harder to take.
- Take Energy Hub: it cuts the team’s teleport cooldown by 50%.
- If possible, take Refinement Center: it cuts building capture time by 50%.
- If players remain after the main objectives, take additional Crystal Prison positions.
- Have one Commander open attacks at one point and let Warriors fill the rally.
- Engineers collect Crystal immediately after enemy buildings are captured.
- After a capture, do not leave the building empty to run after kills.
Phase 1 reminder: Warriors should garrison held buildings with shield troops. A single focused Commander rally that Warriors fill is easier to win than several split attacks.
Phase 2: Open the attack window
Phase focus: Pillbox → Crystal Ironprison → Bomber Command Center
- Take Pillbox first. Its first controller receives +15% Troops Lethality. Whoever holds it receives +15% Troops HP, including a player or team that captures it later.
- Prioritize Crystal Ironprison when possible: its first-control and periodic score are both high.
- If possible, take Bomber Command Center.
- If your team is behind, do not repeatedly collide with the enemy’s main force. Hold secondary buildings, collect Crystal, and look for locations with fewer defenders.
Phase 3: Make Crystal the score engine
Phase focus: Crystal Depots are the Engineer scoring route.
- Engineers become the main scoring unit.
- Clear enemies from Crystal Depots.
- Warriors must not abandon a held building just because new objectives spawn.
- When a location is unwinnable, withdraw and regroup. Do not feed troops into it one march at a time; repeated losses also waste Diamonds on healing.

When the opponent is stronger
- Use Engineers to maximize Crystal score.
- Attack lightly defended buildings rather than repeatedly hitting the enemy’s strongest force.
- Keep Commanders and Warriors together instead of opening fights in several places.
- Save troops for a winnable moment. Do not spend Diamonds healing repeated losses.
- Holding buildings and collecting Crystal outweigh personal kills.
