Celestial Battlegrounds Event Guide & Tips

Welcome to the Celestial Battlegrounds, a brand new event in Call of Dragons. If you’re looking to achieve a strong ranking, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, I’ll share my tips and tricks to help you beat your high score.

The Celestials have opened their battlegrounds to all comers! Challengers must deploy Legions and defeat all enemies across 10 stages before the timer runs out.

Your Legions’ Unit Count will be restored after a certain number of stages.

The quicker you complete the challenge, the higher your score! The highest-ranked challengers will gain extra rewards!

Event Duration: 3 days

Challengers must fight wave after wave of increasingly powerful foes to prove themselves.

How to complete Celestial Battlegrounds

There are 2 difficulty levels: Normal and Hard (x2 points).

Before each stage, players need to choose a buff for the enemies (complete list below).

1. Defeat enemies across 10 consecutive stages. Each successful stage will grant you points.

2. Clearing a stage quickly will grant you bonus points. The quicker your time, the more points you receive.

3. Each stage has a 5 minute time limit. If you exceed this time limit, or all your Legions are defeated, you will fail the challenge.

4. If you fail the challenge, you will not receive points for your current stage.

Celestial Battlegrounds Strategies

1. Choosing Your Marches: During the Celestial Battleground, you’ll pick three marches to fight with you. To score more points, you’ll want to do this on a harder mode of difficulty. If you don’t yet have T5, don’t worry; you can play around and see how far you can push.
2. Scoring Points: By reaching the 20,000 point mark, you’ll earn various rewards. Scoring well is essential, but ranking isn’t all that important.
3. Maximizing Damage: Ranged damage is crucial. Tanks are not recommended; instead, focus on full glass Cannon blast damage. Micro optimizations, like placing Mages in the back, can also make a difference.
4. Utilizing Artifacts: Low rage cost artifacts are beneficial. Be mindful that cooldown lasts between rounds, so plan accordingly.
5. Racing Against Time: You’ll need to pick buffs for the enemy, but since you’re racing for time, choose ones that won’t hinder your progress. For example, you might pick “enemies gain 120% attack” if it won’t affect your strategy.
6. Adapting to Challenges: Each round presents different battle effects, like healing rounds or enemies with increased attack. Adapt your strategy to overcome these obstacles.
7. Final Boss Round: In the last round, you’ll face the boss. Selecting the right abilities and focusing your damage will lead to victory.
