Attacking Strongholds¶
Attack Sequence¶
- Adventurers reach the vicinity of the stronghold
- They first engage the guard enemies (up to 3)
- While near the stronghold, they can steal gold
- Once the gold is depleted, they can attack the walls
- When wall HP reaches zero, the stronghold is destroyed
Strategy Tips¶
How to Destroy Strongholds Effectively
- Place a bounty quest (with a high reward) near the stronghold
- Make sure you have enough ranged adventurers (Mages / Rangers)
- Mages (attack range 12) and Rangers (attack range 11) can fire from a safe distance
- Bring Guards along to protect your ranged units
- Have Builders ready to repair any damaged buildings
Note
Attacking stronghold walls does not grant experience. Only killing guard enemies yields experience. The loot dropped when a stronghold is destroyed is the reward.

Strongholds are grouped by faction. In sandbox mode, you can select specific factions:
| Faction | Included Strongholds |
