00:00 War of the Roses, the new 300 vs 300 large-scale battle, is coming to Black Desert.
00:06 Kamasylvia or O'dyllita, which side will you fight for?
00:11 Let's dive into what this new PvP game mode has to offer.
00:15 War of the Roses takes place every two weeks on Sunday.
00:22 Each side is represented by 100 members from the Leader Guild,
00:26 which is selected from guilds or alliances that apply the day before the event.
00:30 They will need to fulfill the requirements of having at least one victory in the last two weeks
00:35 in a Tier 4 or 5 node war or conquest war. The other 200 members of each faction will
00:42 be represented by the Third Legion, which is made up of 200 randomly selected adventurers
00:47 who sign up and fulfill the gear requirement of a combined gear score of 680.
00:53 The guild leader will appoint a captain or become a captain themself.
00:57 This will allow them to take control of the tactical map and have authority over exclusive skills.
01:02 There is one captain for each faction, Kamasylvia and O'dyllita.
01:07 Movement orders and various missions can be given to units of the Third Legion.
01:11 Third Legion members that complete these missions will earn rewards.
01:14 The assigned mission can also be adjusted once cancelled or completed.
01:18 The captain can form units consisting of Leader Guild members and adventurers from the Third Legion.
01:24 Once the War of the Roses has begun, it will be possible to edit a unit during the battle,
01:29 but you will not be able to change adventurers that are already assigned to a unit to unassigned.
01:35 The Leader Guild can assign three lieutenants.
01:38 These lieutenants can also assign movement orders and various missions.
01:42 The War of the Roses takes place on a battlefield which incorporates the
01:46 two domains of Kamasylvia and O'dyllita.
01:48 When War of the Roses begins, participants located within the area will be randomly
01:53 moved to three different coordinates within their faction's castle.
01:57 There are stablekeepers and dwarf managers within certain locations in both Ornette and Odor Castle.
02:03 You can also use the stablekeeper and dwarf manager at the Old Wisdom Tree and Starry Midnight Port.
02:10 If a participant dies, they can resurrect by selecting a location on the tactical map.
02:15 There will be two options, a quick resurrection or a normal resurrection.
02:19 There are a total of 20 sanctums.
02:22 The occupied sanctums will contain Guardian monsters.
02:25 After the War of the Roses begins, a neutral type of
02:28 Faded Relics will appear in each sanctum for you to defeat.
02:33 You must occupy the sanctums in order, starting from the closest sanctum connected to the castle
02:38 of your faction. To take control of a sanctum that is currently being occupied by an enemy,
02:43 you must first defeat the enemy monster.
02:46 Once you defeat the enemy monster, a friendly Guardian monster from your faction will appear.
02:51 Occupying a sanctum will grant your side various passive buffs.
02:55 These can be seen on the tactical map.
02:58 Last but not least, we have the Spirit's Altar.
03:01 To occupy this altar, you will need to fill the Guardian monster with a certain amount of
03:05 Black Spirit's Rage. Occupying the Spirit's Altar will allow your side to summon ancient chariots,
03:12 elephants, ballistas, and cannons that grant a powerful effect called the Spirit's Protection.
03:18 Take advantage of this effect while you can.
03:20 It will help you greatly when combating the guards of the opposing castle.
03:25 When occupying the Spirit's Altar, a 20 minute wait time for reoccupation is applied,
03:31 and the cooldown can be checked on the tactical map.
03:34 The War of the Roses introduces a new dedicated map, the Tactical Map.
03:39 The Tactical Map will allow you to check the occupation status of each sanctum and its remaining health.
03:46 Unit leaders will be able to see their unit members,
03:49 while troop members of each faction, including 3rd Legion members, will only be able to see themselves.
03:55 Captains and Lieutenants will be making use of the map the most,
03:59 as it shares the location and the point of view of your allies.
04:03 Even discovered enemies will be displayed on the map.
04:06 Here are 6 types of missions that both Captains and Lieutenants can delegate to the 3rd Legion.
04:12 Sanctum Attack
04:14 Sanctum Defense
04:15 Defeat a Commander
04:16 Protect a Commander
04:18 Defeat enemies x40
04:20 and Spirit's Altar Activation
04:22 Multiple missions cannot be performed at the same time.
04:26 There are a total of 6 War of the Roses faction skills,
04:30 and only Captains can use them during the War of the Roses.
04:33 Enhanced Vision reveals an obscured field of vision for 10 seconds.
04:38 Rally Forces
04:39 Instantly teleports a selected platoon to the targeted sanctum.
04:43 Powerful Attack
04:44 Summon a King Griffon, or Calc, near a designated sanctum to temporarily unleash heavy area of effect damage.
04:52 Summon Ogre
04:54 Summons a group of violent ogres near the designated sanctum.
04:57 The summoned ogres will disappear when a targeted sanctum's Guardian is defeated,
05:02 or after a certain time period.
05:04 Obscure Vision
05:05 Obscures the enemy's field of vision in fog for 30 seconds.
05:09 The enemy Captain can use Enhanced Vision to remove the obscure vision effect.
05:14 Immobilize Guardians
05:15 Freezes the sanctum's Guardian and restores 20% of their HP,
05:20 making them impossible to target for approximately 1 minute.
05:24 The Armory
05:25 Includes Elephants, Ancient Trolls, Ancient Chariots, and Ballistas.
05:30 Appearing on the bridge in front of Ornette-Odor Castle for each faction.
05:34 And Cannons appearing in other specific locations.
05:38 War of the Roses weapons can be used by an ally regardless of rank or affiliation,
05:43 with the Leader's Guild or the Third Legion.
05:46 Your victory conditions are simple.
05:48 Defeat the opposing faction's Commander.
05:51 Commander Narshlin of Ornette Castle and Commander Sephir of Odor Castle.
05:56 If the 2-hour timer runs out, the remaining health of the Commander will determine the winner.
06:02 And that wraps up this overview.
06:04 We hope this helped and we look forward to seeing you in the large-scale battle.
06:09 Good luck out there!
