Description

Blast Network is an explosive event in King Krogmo's Coliseum where Knights try to eliminate their opponents by blowing them up. All of your personal equipment is ignored in Blast Network and you instead have use of a single weapon, a bomb that explodes in a cross formation. Bombs do not require charging and can be placed immediately. A bomb will kill any Knight caught in its explosion, including the Knight who placed it, so be careful! In each game you earn points for having your bombs eliminate your opponents. The player or team with the most points at the end of the match wins.

Game Modes

Blast Network has three game modes:

Free For All

Blow up every player in sight, trying not to include yourself.

Random Team

Get placed in a random team with the sole purpose of blowing up the other team.

Guild Team

Open up slots for yourself and guild mates to battle another guild team (or random team if none are available). You can also join forming guild teams by simply pressing the ‘Guild’ tab within the Coliseum interface.

Power Ups

Scattered over the play field are various pick ups which can augment a Knight's attributes.

Bomb Blast Up

Icon blastup.png Increases the blast area of a Knight's bomb by one tile. A Knight may have up to 15 Bomb Blast Ups.

Bomb Count Up

Icon countup.png Increases the number of bombs you can drop at once. A Knight may have up to 5 Bomb Count Ups.

Speed Up

Icon speedup.png Increases the movement speed of a Knight. A Knight may have up to 5 Speed Ups.

Health Up

Icon healthup.png Increases your health by one cell. While bombs eliminate you in one hit, other hazards such as traps and monsters will do a single cell of damage.

Respawning

If you are killed 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

A knight's score by 1 increases whenever another player is eliminated, and 1 extra point is scored if the elimination was caused by said knight's bombs. In Free For All mode, players with lower death counts take precedence in case of tie breaks. Players with equal kills and deaths take the same place, meaning a match can have multiple winners.
