Lockdown Classes: Recon, Guardian and Striker

Lockdown is a devilish duel in King Krogmo's Coliseum where Knights try to eliminate their opponents by standard means-- Swords, Bombs, and Guns. All your weapons are available in this head to head brawl, in which Knights are divided into two teams to score points by taking over capture points or attack damage to opposing team players. The shield function is replaced by a unique "class system", in which causes your shield to be limited, but allowing for 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.

Game Modes

Loadouts

Loadouts are a saved combination of your gear, and multiple configurations can be saved for different purposes, including Non-PVP. Loadouts marked for PVP can be changed inside of your base, but can only be edited while in towns such as Haven. There are many purposes for Loadouts, a few examples for assorted loadouts would be: to have specific sets for each specialty, help adapt to your opposing team, or a quick change of defense. Keep in mind the star level of your equipment determines what tier you play in. Having a Non-PVP Loadout is also recommended, as a current issue causes your standard shield to be de-equiped after playing Lockdown, once the match is over and you are returned to Haven.

You may save a Loadout by left clicking "Current Equipment" and choosing Save As. Saved Loadouts cannot be edited or renamed.

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

Score in Lockdown is gathered via control points(CPs). While a CP is captured, it will automatically generate score for its controlling team. The match ends when a team has accumulated 500 score (for maps with 3 CPs), 900 score (for maps with 5 CPs), or when time expires, at which point the team with the most score wins. Every 10 seconds, each team gains score based on the number of CPs it controls. In a 3-point map:

  • 5 score for one CP
  • 8 score for two CPs
  • 9 score for three CPs

In a 5-point map:

  • 5 score for one CP
  • 9 score for two CPs
  • 12 score for three CPs
  • 14 score for four CPs
  • 15 score for five CPs

Prior to the 2012-05-24 release, all CPs were unconditionally worth 5 score.

Capturing

Initially, all CPs are entirely neutral, which will be indicated by a gray hologram above the CP. Once a knight steps onto it, a ring of that knight's team color will begin expanding from the middle of the CP. When it reaches the larger ring, the CP is captured and will count towards that team's score after the 10-second scoring cycle passes(as opposed to scoring immediately). Multiple knights of the same team on the CP will accelerate the rate of capture, whereas any knights of the opposite team will prevent it entirely.

If a CP is already controlled by Team 1, Team 2 must first stand on it to shrink Team 1's ring back to the center. The CP will become neutral and generate no score, and a ring of Team 2's color will then begin expanding. As with initial capture, multiple knights of the same team will accelerate the rate of "stealing" the point.

Rewards

You pay 200 crowns to enter, like all Krogmo games. Each knight on the winning team receives 280 crowns (or more, if members of the winning team leave before the game ends) and 2 Krogmo Coins; knights on the losing team receive no crowns and only a single Krogmo Coin.
