Not everyone is crazy about being a bounty hunter. Surely though, being on the hunt in a forest or plain wouldn't bring you all the same risks, right? If you are thinking about going on the hunt occasionally, hit the trails with some friends and join a new Battle Event - the Prairie Battue Contest! The best part is this all-new event doesn't yield any troop loss!  Read on to learn some of the essential info to help you get started quickly!

Event Overview

Throughout the Contest, matches will occur approximately once every hour. You can continue to participate in these Matches as long as you have Daily Match Entries, which are your ticket to join! Simply follow the instructions below, and you can become the next famed Hunter!

1. Join or Create a Hunting Group

When the Contest begins, you'll be assigned a Hunter Level based on your current boosts. This level will remain unchanged throughout the duration of the event. You can choose to join an existing Hunting Group that matches your level, or create your own! 

Your fellow Group Members Towns may reside from the same State as you, or from different States, providing a fantastic opportunity to forge new friendships!

2. Registration & Group Matching

When creating a Group, the Group Leader can select a specific Match Time and register for the upcoming Match. Groups that register for the exact same Match Time will be paired as rivals. During the Rival Matching Period, registrations for that match will be closed and unable to be edited. Therefore, Group Leaders are strongly advised to stay informed about the Match schedules and register their Groups promptly.

Please Note: A Match will only start if there are at least 4 Groups registered. If this requirement is not met, all previously registered Groups will not be matched with rivals.

3. Fight on Battlefield

Once a Match begins, you can enter the Event Battlefield, known as Battue Wildacres, and collaborate with your Group Members to accumulate as many Group Points as possible. Battue Wildacres is a SOLO battlefield. This means that the Rally War function will not be available and participants cannot launch attacks on each other's Towns.

Upon entering the battlefield, you will be prompted to select a Troop Type with which you'd like to engage in combat. These troops are allocated by the event system, meaning you WILL NOT LOSE ANY TROOPS from your Town throughout the duration of the Event.

The Battlefield includes several scoring buildings shown below. These buildings open gradually, with Ranches and Habitats becoming available in the first 20 minutes, followed by the Central Yard. When a new set of buildings opens on the battlefield, the previous ones will either disappear or close.

Central Yard:

Occupy it to rank high on Yard Rank based on occupation time, and you can get Points as Rank Rewards.

Habitat:

Battle in it with your rivals to rank high on Habitat Rank based on kills/troop loss, and you can get Points as Rank Rewards.

Ranch:

Occupy it or defeat the rival occupant of it to score Points.

Hunter's Cottage:

Send a Special Gather Queue there to gather Points.

With such a hunting party around the corner, Boss, grab your trusty rifle and embark on a wild adventure like no other! For more detailed information on the Prairie Battue Contest, visit the in-game Event Page > Rules!
