Blast Network is a devilish duel in King Krogmo's Coliseum where Knights try to eliminate their opponents by standard means them up. Swords, Bombs, Guns, all yours weapons are available in this head to head brawl, in which Knights are divided against usual comrades to score the goal for their team! Shields, however, are picked by a unique "class system", in which cause your shield to be limited, but allow special effects! Strikers get a speed bonus, Guardians an area shield, and Recons invisibility!

The cumulative weekly scores for the leaderboard are reset on Sunday.

Loadouts

Loadouts can be changed inside of your base! It is common to be switched out while dead, to help you get a better grasp of control, a quick change of defense and such. Though, other purposes can be used, like weapon switching, mixing it up, or just for a different set of armor. Only your base can you switch though, no where else.

Respawning

If you are defeated, you can either instantly respawn by spending energy or you can wait until the timer reaches zero.

If you are defeated you will wait in the rolling respawn queue. All players in the respawn queue will respawn at once after the respawn counter reaches zero. However, during this time you may instead choose to instantly respawn with energy in the same manner as in the Clockworks.

Scoring

The score is based off of influence! Influence is gained while a control point is captured. Each control point generates so much influence, which counts towards your score. The team with the most influence by the end of the match wins. Control points are gained by standing on them. You must kill opposing team members standing on it though, for you to be able to capture it. The more control points, the more influence.

Crown Rewards

You pay 200 crowns to enter, like all Krogmo games. When winning, you receive 280 crown reward, the losing team however receives 0 crowns.
