Preview

Lady MAGIC has once again managed to assemble an incredible team for this AOH match. Led by Partystoppa, we are in for an incredible match full of emotions.

This time, it was decided to use only spearmen and infantry, since we are accompanied by players like DarkcellUK, KingTimmy, and KEBAB SNOW, who have very strong formations for these kinds of troops. Also, the rest of the team is made up of players with a lot of experience in the Arena of Honor.

We were really happy to have a fun afternoon.

The countdown ended and we were ready to start the battle. The first decision was to build spearman camps to capture the castles of the factions near to us and then secure key altars, like the Warriors and Father. This can be a game changer if done quickly and correctly. Capturing enemy faction castles is also crucial to securing a good position at the end of the match since these provide a good number of points per minute.

Our team successfully captured a large number of altars, giving us a huge boost for the match. Rally Leaders did an incredible job capturing them, and the whole team quickly reinforced them.

Once the Dragonpits were ready to be captured, DarkcellUK managed to secure and defend one of the three available; it was easy for him to achieve this thanks to his powerful spearman formation and once again the quick response of reinforcements sent by the team. 

Once we captured it, DarkcellUK launched an strong spear Rally on another Dragonpit occupied by the enemy and effectively captured and defended it once again! So we had two out of three Dragonpits at that moment. The team was doing a fantastic job, and the rally leaders were clearly showing off their skills.

The enemy cavalry did not seem to present any threat until that point. We were almost completely dominating the match and were confident that we could take the City of Glory without much resistance from the enemy, since even our rally leader with infantry appeared stronger than the cavalry of the other factions up to that time.

Then the battle that would decide which faction would claim first place took place, and the City of Glory opened its gates. KEBAB SNOW quickly launched a solo attack with his powerful infantry, managing to capture the City for a few seconds. But one of the enemy factions countered him with a powerful cavalry. 

At that time, our spear Rally leaders were unavailable for solo attacks because they were occuping other buildings.  

After the cavalry player from the yellow faction captured the city, his mates immediately reinforced him, making it difficult for our players to launch more solo attacks.

The team couldn't let the city fall, since victory and first place depended on having it, so even though we knew there was an extremely strong cavalry inside the city, KEBAB SNOW and DarkcellUK began the rallies to try to retake it. 

Their rallies filled up pretty fast and speed up once they were launched to reduce the amount of time as much as possible.

After a series of consecutive attacks, were unable to take the city. Our rally leaders and the team did their best, but it wasn't enough against the enemy cavalry defences... The time was running out, and we needed to change our strategy quickly to secure a good place for the match.

As the final minutes approached and the mine shafts opened up, everyone knew that every point counted. Quickly, all our faction members spread out across the map, securing the mine Shafts and reinforcing each other from the enemy attacks. The teamwork was impressive.

There are 12 of them available, each worth 4,000 points. That would be enough to secure second place and finish the match almost successfully after all the hard work we had done.

Thanks to this, we were able to make a little difference, capturing those mines gave us enough points to reach a good score.

At the last minute, seeing that the glorious city had few troops defending it, we launched a final rally with spears and managed to capture it, but unfortunately there was not enough time left; by a matter of seconds, we were unable to secure it.

We could have scored a classic last minute victory due to a mistake of reinforces made by the enemy faction, but luck was not on our side. 

After a huge team effort, we achieved a great result. We came in second place It was a close battle against the red team in the last few minutes and they ended up in third place. Despite our bad luck in failing to secure the City of Glory, we had a fun and enjoyable afternoon full of good times.
