Clash of the Great Houses - Arena of Honor Season 6 Round 3

Video Trailer

As the Autumn is preparing to take Westeros by force, the season 6 of Arena of Honor is now heading towards the 3rd round and [N0X]Shado and his team has to do everything they can to win this round if they are willing to keep any chance at reaching the Glory King rank. In the 2 rounds since the start of the season, they managed to get a win and a 2nd place and that scored them over 62 points so now he's only a few points away from King rank, and they need to keep winning to achieve that. With that in mind, he prepared his troops, commanders and dragons as good as he possibly could and after everything was done, on the Sunday evening, he departed towards the Arena of Honor battlefield. Once he arrived there, he met with the team, and everyone signed the pre-registration papers required for the team to be registered and once that was done, they all waited patiently for the matchmaking to be concluded by the Old Gods.

Once the matchmaking was completed, the battlefield doors opened, and everyone stepped inside to see which house is going to pick them and against whom they'll fight. For this fight, the team was chosen by Daenerys Targaryen, for the first time this season to fight in the name of her house and as soon as all the teams got picked, everyone headed towards their respective house clan castles, with the team heading together with Daenerys thru the scorching southern desert towards the south-west forests of the battlefield where the House Targaryen's Clan Castle is located.

Once they arrived there, everyone started setting their camps and Shado decided to send some scouts around the battlefield to see what the other houses are up to.

The news they got back weren't as bad as they expected, even though both teams had very strong warriors in their rosters like Lord jhogo and GWYNN, the team also had WIND5 and B R A X so this round was announcing disputed but winnable by the team, if they gave everything they had on the battlefield. With the strategy now prepared, the team discussed a few last-minute adaptations before the horn sounding the start of the battle was heard and everyone rushed towards the strongholds to occupy them as quickly as possible.

Once again, the team decided to go with military camps as in the previous rounds, since it seems that's the way to go now if you want to fight for the City of Glory, and they surely wanted that. After the construction of the strongholds was complete it was time for the altars to start opening and the team's main objective was to take as many Altars of the Warrior as possible in order to secure the NPC buffs but that didn't mean they wouldn't fight for every altar on the battlefield so Shado decided to take one of the altars and the team reinforced in hopes to secure 'it as quickly as possible.

Being a heavy cavalry team, the [OBV] team thought they can easily kick Shado from there with solos, but after Corvinus failed the solo, he decided to swap to rallies and the rallies unfortunately managed to win so the team lost the first altar. The team's morale was still high despite being defeated as they expected this battle to be very disputed so as soon as more altars started opening team decided to split forces and try to secure as many of them as possible.

Their plan worked well, the splitting forces were setting the other two houses on the wrong food and the Targaryen's were managing to secure more and more altars all over the battlefield.

The more altars they secured, the more their points generation started to increase, and they went on the first place but with City of Glory about to open for attacks, everything was still on the table.

As expected, as soon as the bubble dropped down, a wave of solos from all directions started heading towards the city in order to kick the neutral NPCs and start the occupation time. The city changed hands a few times before the Starks managed to reinforce 'it quickly enough, so the solos stopped and everyone went to rallies.

Both the Lannister's and Targaryen's organized 3 rallies each, unfortunately Shado's rally was emptier than a cinema at a bad movie premiere but he decided to send'it like that anyway, in hopes that it will at least chip a few of the forces inside and combined with the Starks not having the catapults it would be enough for them to flip the City of Glory. A fight of epic proportions took place on the vale where the City of Glory was located, with millions and millions of troops fighting on each side, sounds of the valyrian steel weapons clashing could be heard all over the battlefield and troops were falling quickly on both sides, turning the snow around the city in bright red. Despite GWYNN's superior strength, the troop numbers were not in his favor and every rally managed to chip a bit of the troops there, but his team was also on point with the reinforcements so the fight for the city continued for minutes after minutes with no side willing to give up. Ultimately the raw strength emerged victorious over the numbers and the House Stark managed to fully occupy the City of Glory with just a few minutes left from the round. Despite having the city fall in enemy hands, the team was still in cards for the 1st place being just a few thousand points behind, and hoping the last few minutes ticks will go in their favor, but did it happen?

Unfortunately, no, the difference in points was small and yet too big to be recovered in the last few minutes. Still the team played the round great and despite not being able to win, they secured a fair 2nd place with a lot of points rewards. They left the battlefield with hopes that the next rounds will go their way, and they'll finally be able to secure that Glory King ranking that everyone dreams of. Will they be able to do that? Time will tell. See you all on the battlefield!
