The final blows have been dealt. The Ring has been conquered. The power of Elysium rests in the hands of SquareXII!

Alex: A riveting battle. I must have exploded four… maybe five Torstens!

Emma: Your bragging is minor indeed, pyroclastic one. I have defeated nine Torstens.

Alex: Oooho, I’m usually the spicy one Emma! Bwuahahahahaha!!!

Emma: This Conquest was indeed eventful. Many interesting gambits were tried. Only one was victorious.

Alex: Thank you for, once again, stating the obvious Emma! Now I believe we have some business to get to?

Opening Moments

Conquest begins with only the 16 ruins in play, and over half a dozen guilds were quick to get to work trying to get in place and start climbing the leaderboard.

Firmly controlling the eastern quadrant and several other ruins, SquareXII got a commanding lead early on.

The Ring Enters Play

As The Ring of Ruin opened, it was still really anyone’s game. XII was holding a strong lead, but BTB, GFX and EPx weren’t too far behind to catch up. With the big points from the ruin starting, the battle was still far from over.

XII secured The Ring early on after it opened, ready to fight off any resistance that came at them (even with that nasty -30% defense debuff!). No one was coming to contest it anytime soon though. 

XII was able to not only sit in the ring safely, but also they held onto three or sometimes four other Ruins consistently. It’s no surprise they started to run away with it on the scoreboard.

BTB and GFX both almost evenly doubled their scores during this period, but EPx had far less luck putting points on the board this period and fell to 4th.

Final Push

 GFX and BTB gained almost the same number of points through the third period, but the early lead kept a solid advantage for BTB ending them firmly in 2nd. 

EPx fell behind in the second, but in the final period they nearly doubled their score leading to a solid finish. More importantly…

XII continued to occupy The Ring… and rack up the points. It wasn’t only The Ring though – they held two, three or even four ruins consistently throughout the match while also holding The Ring of Ruin. It was a fantastic performance and a well earned victory.

Congratulations to XII on both their victory and long reign over The Ring in this battle! 

A Battle to Remember!

Alex: Honestly I don’t know why no one attacked XII for so long in the RIng! If my Captain would’ve sent me in, I’d have bombs aplenty to take care of the job!

Emma: You are incorrect, pirate. Their defenses were strong, and their zone of control consistent on both the North and East side.

Alex: I’m going to pretend you didn’t just say that I couldn’t raid that ring. I was ready and chomping at the bit! 

Emma: Impetuousness is often the door to disaster.

Alex: Oh forget your stupid riddles. Act now, think later.

Emma: Luckily not all Captains are like you, pirate.

Alex: Alright, that does it you–

And that’s all the time we have today! Thanks Alex and Emma!

Don’t forget the season isn’t over yet! There’s still the final arena competition to wrap up in a few days. You all have a little less than three days to bulk up that battle power! It’s not over until it’s over!

We’ll see you again very soon to discuss the winners of Season 5 and the dawn of Season 6!
