Description
A 5v5 game mode in a moderate sized map with two lanes. The map contains gameplay features from both the Siege and Clash game modes, along with their visual themes from the Maya and Egyptian pantheons. Players must reach account level 15 before they are able to join this game mode.
The main objective is to destroy the enemy team's structures and finally their Titan.
Players can expect to meet each other in the middle of the map which provides quick access to the major objectives, both lanes, and a central Damage (red) Buff that players will have to fight over. The layout means players will be fighting often and in large numbers, while looking for opportunities to push down the enemy team's defenses. After ten minutes pass, the large jungle boss Apophis will spawn that provides a powerful buff (and 2 Juggernauts if Enhanced) when defeated.
Returning from the Siege game mode, teams can be aided in assaulting the enemy defenses by the hand of the Juggernaut. This monster has a moderate health pool and deals bonus damage to enemy structures, but they are also slow and will stop moving to attack their target until it dies or leaves their attack range. The Juggernaut is available to aid teams that can defeat the Juggernaut jungle camps. Defeated Juggernaut camps will spawn a Juggernaut randomly in either lane and if a team spawns a second monster, it will spawn in the lane that doesn't already have one in it.
There are portals in each team's base that activate when that team has at least one Juggernaut on the battlefield. Entering the portal will transport the player directly to their friendly Juggernaut. If a team has multiple Juggernauts, players will be teleported to the one that is pushed farthest forward in the corresponding side's portal. In addition, there's also a central portal in between the Juggernaut portals that activates after the match starts and when that team has no active Juggernauts in the battlefield which will instantly teleport players to the center of their side's jungle.
