question: is the middle road exclusive for offense player or can be use by both?
can player on right side attack unit/building on the left if they stand on the middle road?
I think the core confusion is:
The side restrictions doesn't restrict the players from entering that site, they are not allowed to harm any units that are not standing on their own site, the reason why some spells are also forbidden and others allowed.
So:
The middle can be used by both.
No they can't.

Hey all,

Will all the submitted replays-files shared to the community after the challenge is over? Would be nice not just to see some replays in the stream - i prefer to have the replays to check and analyse in detail. This was part of all the non official pve challenges before - so would be nice if you can upload after.
Also remark from my side --> for this challenge there are a way to much different kind of runs you can do and get prices for sure. I understand that you want to realize that more players are able to get prices - but at the end you are just lowering the quality of the submitted replays because nobody (or at least at me :-D) has the time to play and optimize every possible run for each category. I prefer to have high quality speedruns / challenging runs that were pushed to the limit against the best - part of this can be that you get no prices but still had a lot of fun while working out and testing different strategies. And this was for sure not a waste of time --> dont like this way of thinking that we need to overhelm the community with a lot of different categories for a challenge just to ensure that nearly everybody is getting prices.
I am sorry, of course I can do this. I will also upload the replays of the last tournament. I somehow forgot this.
My intention never was to have more people win prizes, or to lower the quality of the runs. There are people who would disagree with you and actually like the fact that different decks aren't compared with each other.
You still Can focus on one perfect run, because of the special award. The fastest of all submissions will receive a promo.
I agree, that we went a bit overboard with the amount of possibilities and will defenitly tune this down.
But for now, everything will stay as it is. I do not prefer to change a lot of things afterwards as people are already participating with the current rules.
We are still experimenting with all kinda of events and their possible complexity and one or two things we realised for this event are, that there are too many distractions to the main competition.
I thank you a lot for your feedback, because with feedback like this we can make future events only better.
I hope that we will see a lot of awesome replays and some competition spirit.

Hey all,
I changed the Bonus awards a bit and bundled them together.
We will try to reduce these kind of awards for the next events, I realised that with the Bonus awards added it just adds unnecessary focus prevention.
We hope that you still have fun with this event, I am very eager to watch all your replays
Currently we plan to only give the Bonus awards as a bundled(submission type) reward, but if there are enough participants, we will increase the prize for this.I think there was a little misunderstanding with why I did this.
The main reason, why I put these two together, was to prevent the possibilities that you participate for this challenge and there are not enough competitors to get a reward and therefore just wasted your time.
My intention was not to combine them until the end of the event, maybe my disclaimer wasn't clear enough or not clear at all.
I will split these two awards when there are enough participants for splitting.
I will even split them more up (submission type oriented) if there are enough participants for each submission.
Please be not scared away of participating by this change.
I am well aware, that solo and duo are pretty hard to compare.

So if im correct Aura of Pain is not an offensive spell right?
In this case,the sole purpose of this card is to deal damage, so an offensive spell.

@Minashigo Hiko one clarification please:
What happens if one team only manages the job for the color, they did it for nuts? 🙂
Btw. do you mean three or more teams in a color are needed, or three teams over all colors?
What is ment with this:
The main feature of this part is, to act as a bonus reward.
You will compete against all other (in the submission color you choose, as example with a fire deck against fire) from outside of the bonus awards.
The bonus awards only compete with eatchother.
If there are not enough participants for the bonus award "Duo" or "Solo" to compete with eachother. I am forced to put these two together and compare it with eachother, but if there are not even enough teams for this. It is so far planned, that you cannot achieve the awards for this.
The bonus award is ment as a bonus, for extra complexity.
Keep in mind: The Bonus rewards are compared with all other bonus rewards participants in the same category. The submission type is not relevant for this.
T2 fire will be compared with t2 nature and vice versa,
4 hours ago, JustCoco said:The Bonus Awards:
Play Solo and stay on T3
-->Don't have more than three orbs at the same time.
To win this, you need to be faster than other participants in this category.
(This award will only be distributed, if more than two players participate for it)What are the rules for playing solo?
The normal Competition rules also count for the Bonus rewards, its for an extra complexity.

- Can you narrow down "offensive spells". Heals ok? What is with Infect/Revenge(no direct dmg) ? Where is the line here?- what taking about Orbs/Wells on the other side
And we are still a bit confused about the Bonus and Special Rewards 🙂Every spell that is able to target an enemy is an offensive spell.
As example: Revenge targets your own units, same as life weaving. Infect targets enemy units.
Feel free to take Orbs/Wells on any side you want.
I hope I could lift the confusion. -
Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings.

Slave Master on Advanced Difficulty with a twist! Follow all restrictions and requirements to finish this map as fast as possible.
For example, one of the restrictions is you are only allowed to use cards from the First Edition. See below for more information and all restrictions.There are 5 different submission types, which differentiate between Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Mixed.
Each has their own prize pool.That's not all! There are other awards like the Quirky Defence, which is a Community Award that we will be voting for live on stream at the end of the event.

The event will run for approximately 2 and 1/2 weeks, so you have time until the end of July. To be specific: 28.07.2021 23:59 CEST.
You can send your replays through DM to me on Discord (Minashigo Hiko#1126) or through a PM to me on the forum.

For example: "Hiko,Majora - Pure fire Deck"
Please note: You are allowed to send in three different replays, but not more than one per submission type (this will be counted per player, not per team).
You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays

First of all: I really like this challenge. I don’t think I will win this but it is still fun to try!
I’m going for a nature deck and just what to be sure about this Point:
Dose the stranglehold count as a “attacking tower (Purple)”?
It doesn't have attackpoints written on the card, but deals damage.Just want to be sure to get this lovely 200 Points 😉
Hey T1421,
Sorry for answering so late.
I am glad you like the challenge, feel free to give us any feedback you like.
Yes, the Stranglehold purple does include in this.
We are aware, that some towers, that still fall under the "does damage" category, without having the damage number exist, but didnt wanted to write an exception list and therefore kept it wide spread.
You will still get those lovely 200 points, as long as the tower deals damage.
8 hours ago, Homerun said:For the above the requirement, does it has to be alive at the end of game, or can be destroy after being built?
Hey Homerun,
This tower only needs to be completely constructed, for the challenge to be achieved.
You can destroy it when you like to or just ignore it.Ultralord likes this -

A question for clarification. The final camp does spawn a lot of units which will run up until the starting orb. If they destroy that orb they will stay there an stop spawning. Are they by this point considered as part of the final camp and have to be killed befor the final boss in order to get F or can I ignore them?
Hey Antwood,
As Volin already answered, yes every creep that spawns from the final camp belongs to it.
This also counts for the bugs, that aren't anymore in that camp. -
I'm sad that I can not participate, but I wish everyone who is a lot of fun and you toggy a very nice stream.

Thx for the answeres, managed to keep all refugees alive now anyway
Pls answere the last question left, might make my runs easier:Kinda important if you may just stomp the camp and then go arround or if it has to be alive while running your rounds. Also for other players it might be important to know if you have to run the rounds before the first timer runs out or if you can run them any time.
Also if the camp has to stay alive can i get rid of the non-spawning buildings?
Greets Toddy
Hey Toddy,
I already answered this. I should have quoted the questions for more clarity.

You can do it, whenever you want.

On 5/25/2021 at 4:34 PM, Xamos said:
That's not what I said ^^
I think it's probably going to happen that f. e. 2 people end up with the same points - and for clarification it should be stated in the official description that then the time will count as well. Just for those who don't read through all the comments.
And on this map it's possible that more than one ends up with the same exact fastest time - as we have seen on the ranking for this map - will everyone of them get the 800 points?
I'm enjoying this challenge so far, but for now I'm struggling with keeping those annoying units at the camps alive so I need more practice.
And could you clarify this one a little more specific please? Do we have to circle both together (run around in a big circle twice) or each of them (run 2 small circles around both of the camps there individually)?
Hey Xamos,
I am sorry for the late reply.
We already added this to the post itself, after some discussion we agrees that this needed clarification and then you asked the same question so we also pulled it through.
On this map it is possible to have the same fastest time,as the map has a soft cap(spawning of the boss) BUT with all restrictions I think it is impossible to have the most points AND the fastest time twice, as the fastest time is caused by using the necrofury to one shot the boss in the second he spawns.. And the challenge restricts the boss from dieing before the camp is cleared
I am happy that you have fun with this event.
Yes we noticed, that the refugee death penalty hits a little too hard than expected.
We will keep this in mind for future events.
Sorry for not clarifying enough, I will add tomorrow a drawing for this.
It is wanted from you, to circle a big circle, this means around both camps together not separately
On 5/25/2021 at 7:10 PM, GevatterTODdy said:I add some questions:
-->What about diffrent affinities, are they counting as "diffrent kind of units"? Same Question regarding promo and non promo cards.
-->Does it have to be a more or less perfect circle? Do you have to end your round where you started or is it just important to go 2 rounds? Example: you stand in between (a little south east) the camp, summon your runners a bit to the right and do your rounds. You end your rounds by going to the camps and destroy them (not finishing where you started). Does it count as full round?
-->do you have to run those rounds same time as a group or can you summon them one by one and start the rounds each for themselves?
-->do you have to run those rounds while the camp is still up, or can i do the rounds after some time playing? If it has to be still up, which buildings may be destroyed or how many have to be up when you are ending your rounds?
-->Do you count only units as refugees or towers/buildings as well?
Hey GevatterTODdy,
Thank you for your questions I am happy to answer them.
As long as they are different cards, this count into the challenge. For different affinities it will be harder to check for me but not impossible.
As long, as it is recognizable as two rounds, they don't have to finish exactly where they started.
You can summon them one by one but you can also run all at the same time. Your choice.
Originally this challenge needed the whole camp to be alive, but in this version it doesn't matter.
Only units that count into the refugee lost quest(Ingame) are counted for this challenge.
So every unit there missing is -1000 points.
22 hours ago, GevatterTODdy said:What if he summons a unit and then he dies before his summoned unit? Do you count his cummoned units too or only units/buildings from the final camp itself?
The twilight infester has to be the last unit dieing, but if he spawns in his dieing breath a unit this is unfortunate, if I see that you hadn't a chance to not kill him before his spawns it's fine.
I will try to judge in these cases according to the situation.
21 hours ago, wanky said:Each camp have ~3-4 units if i remember right means u already can loose 9000-12000Points just by loosing all of the Refugee units? As long Towers are alive u did not loose.
Hey wanky,
I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, you want to make sure how many points you are able to loose and if only the units count for refugee lost and not towers correct?
If yes, as stated above I will look for this on the Ingame quest tab, if the number there is falling it will penalize your points. This means,there are 4 refugee groups per camp so total -12000 possible points.
But realistically only -9000 as 1 needs to stay alive to finish the map.

Oh well, that actually means that time becomes a great deal and is after all the deciding factor.
Well then I gotta hurry

Hello Alishmass,
Thank you for your questions and concerns.1 hour ago, Alishmass said:for example on the point that says build a tower in each camp, in what time frame? can we do it just before killing the infester or should it be before the camps get their reenforcements?
This challenge is not inteded to be locked by a time limit, you can choose for yourself when to build these towers.
You can do it, before the map ends(but then be careful, as it needs to be constructed before the victory screen) and you can also do it directly in the beginning of the game.
1 hour ago, Alishmass said:besides, shouldnt pure fire players be allowed to use batariel? or pure natures use enlightenment?
We thought about allowing the pure nations, to use their special cards but then this would also include the necrofury of shadow, the only nation that isnt blocked by this is frost.. that is because they dont really have cards that deliver so much power, that it needs to be blocked.
Enlightenment, Batariel, Bloodhorn and Necrofury deliver all so much power and possibilities, that we didn't want to allow this cards to anyone as in that case noone would really try to to run the map with other pure nations.
1 hour ago, Alishmass said:and not allowing swift units also forces pure nature players to not use Colossus but at that point, not using swift units is kinda irrelevant because the condition is just meant to make rushing to the first camp and the north camp harder
The condition was originally intended to only count for walking to the camps, but then we had the problems.. how do we differentiate walking to the camps? Is it the whole path? the path before you reach the camp? cant you just spawn a non swift before entering the camp and then claim the achievement like this?
So we decided to block overall swift units.
We are aware, that this also blocks out a lot of cards who have the swift feat, that won´t be used for reaching the camps but that was fine for us because we didn't really block a lot of possibilities with this.
Yes the Colossus is a swift unit and will not be useable because of this, but the Colossus is not the only Strong T4 Nature unit that Nature has to offer.
1 hour ago, Alishmass said:i also have a question: does using the cultist master's crawlers count as using swift units?
No they actually don't, that is because you aren't using a card with the swift ability.
This is a swift unit, that is being spawned by a non-swift unit.
I hope I could answer all your questions and also shed some light on your cofusion of why some challenges are so vaguely described.
We intended to keep this challenge as clear as possible, without inputting too many factors because we are testing a new system.

Giving minus-points for exceeding a certain time would really make sense. Because right now, as soon as you figured out a working strategy, you can just do it suuuper slow.
And I got a question: What if more players get the same points? If it is possible to do it with all restrictions, I can imagine that there will be like one who gets the max points, and then several who get second place (considering the "fastest time bonus")
Hey Xamos,
We also thought about, what if there is a tie?
We came to the conclusion, that we will in that case watch, who cleared the map faster and if that also ties we have no other choice as to filter who sended their replay first. -

I never wantet to discourage other players. But most of the time more than 50% of participate players are speedrunners.
Figuring out a tactic with maximum speed sould not be that hard, but i see only little options for this, so it can be boring maby because top point players will have similar strat.
Ofc i do not aim for the tutorialdeck challange, its not a pure deck and it have t2 tower in it. Surving camps is duable. My tutorialdeck run was already showed to the community from the twitch streamer "TheWeltHerr" back in days.
My comment was mainly intended because this challange for creation of the strategy will not be very exciting. At least as far as the top runs are concerned.
In my opinion, the whole thing could have been made more exciting if you get a certain amount of minus points per x minutes that you have longer. Then the speed is not completely off the board. Because in the current situation you can be in the map as long as you can (or the server allows it, which I think is 3h) and can still get to the top 3. but if you make penalty points for being slow, the whole thing becomes much more "exciting" because then you really want to think: how much time do I want to sacrifice for points, how fast can I be with as many points as possible.
I think you understand what I mean. TBH PVE is almost always about the speed, no matter what game.
/wanky
For the first event we wanted to keep it simple and fun at the same time, we expected we can't please everyone and never will, but I am positive we will bring you someday an event that will include your feedback.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
The more feedback I get, the better events can become in the future.wanky likes this -

I dont wanted to discourage others. Just showing that it is a more like simple challenge compared to speedrun-challenges in my point of view. Because you "just" need to have good tactic and you can mostly ignore the total speed because final time is not that important at all.
I was participating in every pve challenge (campaign + community map) since Skylords Reborn is back - so you dont need to worry that i dont will share my knowledge with others. I am already finished with the tactic for this challenge ;-).
Oh, then I must have misunderstood it.
I am sorry for that.
Yes, we tried to set the focus on the run itself and not about how fast it needs to be.
I hope we managed to achieve this and that many are pleased.
I never worried about that, I am happy to see your entry then! -

Simply call it slowrun as much as possible :-D It will be not that insane - just create a run which is including as much points as possible and you can completely ignore time.
Hey pritstift,
Thank you for your comment,
this may count for you, but there is no need to discourage others.
Everyone has other skill levels so everything can seem harder or way easier than for you.
Share your knowledge with others, make this community a better place 🤗

If there any spezial reward if its played with the Tutorial deck? And yes it is possibleHey Wanky,
I know, that this challenge is frustrating for the top speed runners of the community, but keep in mind that the community is also bigger than the top speedrunner so there is no reason to discourage other players. Not everyone is as experienced as you guys 🤗
We will try to release events for you in the future, don't you worry.. For now this is intended to be a doable event, that doesn't only reward speedrunner.
We hear you and we know your concerns.
I am sorry, there will not be any special rewards for a Tutorial deck clear, but I am sure it would be interesting to look over this.
To be honest, I don't think that it is possible to use the tutorial deck for this challenge without sacrificing a lot of points, so I wouldn't aim for that.

Sounds fun and what's the prize pool?
There will be two prize pools: Novice and Expert. Submissions will be categorized in one of those two groups depending on how many points the submission has: if the submission has a low amount of points it will be in the Novice group and if it has a high amount of points it will be in the Expert group. We will not disclose in what category a submission belongs, in the case of a draw, the faster time ranks higher. Each group has different rewards and all booster packs are the standard (all-editions) booster packs.
Expert prize pool
1st place Promo of your choice + 4 Booster packs2nd place Promo Razorleaf + 2 Booster packs
3rd- 8th place 3 Booster packs
Novice prize pool
1st place 4 Booster packs2nd place 3 Booster packs
3rd- 8th place 1 Booster packs
Wait, there is more!
The following award will be given out by the community at the end of the challenge.
Every participant can nominate themselves for the Community Award (only those who apply for the award will be able to win it).
The voting for the winner will take place on Twitch, where we will reveal the contest winners as well.https://www.twitch.tv/skylordsreborn
The Community Award:
The Creative Kill
The One who showed the Twilight Infester their dominance.
--> Kill the final boss as uniquely as possible.
For example: try not to use the same units as another participant for the final kill.
This will decrease the chance for both of you to win this category.-
4 Booster packs
Some Clarification
Map Clarification
GREEN(A): 2 small western camps
YELLOW(B): Center camp
PURPLE(C): Southern camp
BLUE(D): Northern camp
ORANGE(E): Final camp
Card Clarification
(YELLOW(A)) A tower is mainly recognizable by its damage number.
(GREEN(B)) The rarity of a card can be found at the bottom right corner.
The lost Launcher is common (bronze). The color is important and not the symbol!
You can find all card rarities here.In conclusion
This event is unlike anything we have done so far, so it might be a bit overwhelming. Here is in simple steps what you must do to participate:
- The map to play on is Siege of Hope on Expert Difficulty
- Look at the categories and points you wish to achieve and do your best to clear the map earning as many points as possible.
- Once you are satisfied with your result, DM (Minashigo Hiko#1126 in Discord) or PM (in forum) your best replay to me. You can only send in once.
- Make sure to add a description of the categories (points) you went for and completed!
- If you want to apply for the community reward (The Creative Kill), make sure to mention that as well.
- Wait until the end of the contest (15.06.2021 23:59 CEST) to see if you have won some prizes!
- We will announce them in a stream on the 26.06.2021 19:00 CEST

Life weaving is indeed a special case, but as the "main feature" is the damage reduction on that one unit you choose there is no restriction.
I am well aware that it does reflect a lot of dmg and as we also could see in the last Community Award of LEBOVIN, it even can kill bosses.
BUT I am not restricting it, because if you wan't to deal damage with this, you can not "just" do it.
In conclusion: Not restricted.
It is not impossible and I have a lot of time, sure you can just cast it at the same time but at some point I will see it and is it really worth it to get disqualified because of such a small thing?
It is trackable, but as you say sometimes I will maybe not see it.. or will I? 😉
