Holy Wars

Holy Wars are the most important event in Rage of Bahamut. Holy Wars entail attacking random enemy orders to establish an overall ranking. You also establish an overall ranking for individual players.

Ranking higher in Holy Wars gives access to the highest SR, and SSR cards. The highest rankings receive the best rewards while the rewards get less and less valuable as you move down in ranking. Because of the importance of rankings everybody needs to know how to contribute during Holy Wars. There are two rankings, Individual and Order.

Individual ranking
Individual ranking is purely based on the amount of points you gather. You'll find that more powerful opponents give more points. Attack, Defense, and Order leaders have multipliers to the points they give, so these guys are worth the most. If you attack an Order leader who would normally give you 100pts, he will give you 150 (If you win), if you attack a Defense/Attack leader that would give a 100pts he will give you 120pts (If you win). The higher points you have, the higher your ranking goes. It's a simple system. If an Order your up against has a "wall" you gain 1/2 as many points as usual.

Order ranking
Order ranking is based off of points as well but there are some differences. The highest number of points gained are won through defeating the opponent by a large margin. You won't be able to achieve a high rank for your order solo and it requires team work since the points are calculated off your total orders points vs their total orders points, and only to the victor go the spoils. Points are still calculated the same way as they are with individual rankings, a victory against an Attack leader with 100pts will give you 120pts. Now, if you continually attack the same opponent they become worth less and less. This encourages you to attack different opponents. If there is a "wall" you gain 1/2 as many points as usual.

As you can see, being able to accumulate points through attack is very important. You should also notice since you can't score a lot of points unless your order does things like take down a wall, that ensuring your Orders victory in ratings also ensures your personal victory in ratings. Also, since the rewards stack, you can double your rewards by maintaining high rankings in both.

Walls
Walls are build before Holy Wars start and have 50k health during a battle. On top of this cards do significantly reduced damage to them. There are three cards that have a special effect of boost to wall damange. Gods have Ares, Man has Master Gunner, and Demons have Mithril Golem. These cards give the boost to wall damage helping you take down a wall in fewer attacks. Once a wall is down, you will gain full points off of victories against the enemy instead of partial points.

Attack Leaders
Attack leaders are the limbs of the order. They are responsible for taking down enemy defense leaders, walls, and accumulating points. It is reasonably everybody's job to accumulate points, but the brunt of the work is put on attack leaders. Attack leaders should not only have powerful attack decks, but also have the ability to attack several times during each battle. If an attack lead only has 120 attack points he can only attack once. This hurts his point accumulation. He needs to have a strong attack deck as well as a high amount of attack power to accomplish multiple assaults.


Defense Leaders
Defense leaders are the backbone of high ranking orders. If players in the Order are under a Defense leader, none of them can be attacked until the Defense leader is beaten. If your Defense leader is very powerful he can prevent the enemy from gathering any points since they can't defeat him to open up the rest of the group to assault. When a Defense leader is attacked by somebody with 50+ attack power he loses 10 defense points. If a Defense leaders deck drops below the minimum amount to use it, a card will be substituted to one that can be used. Because of this, many Defense leaders have a couple hundred defense points, that way they take forever to defeat.


Achieving High Rankings

Achieving high rankings can only be done individually by using very large amounts of holy powder. Achieving victory as an Order is much easier. Splitting the workload with your order always helps.

Silver Coins

Based on the previous battle with another order you will be given silver coins and the ability to gift silver coins to other. You can only gift silver coins once per day so I always end up gifting at least one to each person in my order. You can use three silver coins to buy a silver card pack. The silver coin pack will have slightly better cards than normals, otherwise will not have any great cards.

Tips/Tricks
If you want to win follow these rules:
1) Don't have inactive/really weak players in your order. A weak player can be targeted continually.
2) Defense leaders prevent everybody from being attacked, having a powerful one prevents an enemy from acting against you.
3) Wall take down cards are important for accumulating large amounts of points since once a wall is down we will get full points upon defeating our enemies instead of smaller portions.
4) Cards that have a skill to give additional points upon victory is also important in Rage of Bahamut.
5) Remember the role your assigned to. If you are defense leader attack, but make sure to keep a powerful defense deck
