Boss Battle
A Boss Battle is a server-wide event — staff spawn a monster into the city, and everyone works to take it down before it's gone. There's only ever one active at a time, and the whole city can see it coming: a world feed announcement, a live HP card on the City page's Slums district, and a banner in your sidebar for as long as it's up.
The Bosses
Three so far, always fought in the same order:
Solo Attack
Once per hour. Each attack lands 5-20 hits, and every hit is rolled using your real Strength and Power (the same effective-stat math as regular Combat, plus your equipped Weapon and Relic bonus) — but scaled down to 10% of what that hit would do in a real fight. So if your normal combat damage range is a big number, expect roughly a tenth of that per hit here, landed many times over instead of once.
The boss always hits back — hard enough to leave you at 1 HP (not a true knockout, so it won't send you to the Hospital on its own, but you'll want to heal before doing much else). Every solo attack rewards 10% of the EXP needed for your next level, plus a small amount of Reputation based on how much damage you dealt.
Alliance Attack
If you're in an Alliance, anyone with War Chamber initiate permission (or the Alliance Leader) can launch a full alliance attack — every member who's been active in the last 7 days deals damage together in the same swing, using their own real stats the same way a solo attack does. Nobody loses any HP from it.
- Limited to once per hour.
- Capped at 5 attacks per reset window (windows reset at noon and midnight).
- Awards Alliance EXP based on total damage dealt.
Inactive members (no login in 7+ days) simply don't contribute — they're skipped entirely rather than dragging the attack down.
Battle Log
Both attack types show a real turn-by-turn log after you attack — same visual style as a PvP Combat report. Solo attacks show each individual hit; alliance attacks show each contributing member's own hits and damage, sorted highest to lowest, like a mini leaderboard for that single attack.
Leaderboards
Four rankings track the current fight:
- Most Damage — total damage dealt, solo attacks only.
- Most Attacks — total attack count, solo attacks only.
- Most Efficient — highest total damage while staying under 50,000, ranked by fewest attacks it took to get there.
- Top Alliances — total damage dealt through alliance attacks.
When the Boss Falls
Whoever (or whichever Alliance) lands the killing blow gets the main prize — a Rail Driver and a Sentinel Helmet, dropped straight into their Inventory on a solo kill, or into the Alliance Armory if an alliance attack finished it off.
A few more prizes go out automatically once the boss is down:
- The player with the most attacks gets an Energy Drink.
- The player who was most efficient (Most Efficient leaderboard's #1) gets an Energy Drink.
- Every member of the top-damage Alliance gets a personal notification.
The kill is announced to the whole city on the World Feed, and the sidebar/City banners disappear until the next one spawns.
Tips
- There's no cash or item cost to attack — the only thing you're spending is the hourly cooldown, so it's worth checking in regularly while a boss is up.
- Alliance attacks don't cost members any HP, so it's close to a free way to contribute — just needs someone with the right permission to actually launch it.
- Since the retaliation leaves you at 1 HP every time, plan your solo attacks around when you can afford to be low — right before logging off, or right before a Hospital visit anyway.
- The Most Efficient leaderboard rewards restraint, not raw power — a well-timed few attacks can outrank someone who's been grinding all day if they stay under the 50,000 damage line.
