Irae, Shining Alliance vs. Aramunhaesla, New Alliance: The War Begins

Long-standing tensions between the Aramunhaesla-based KING and QUEEN alliances and the Shining Alliance have finally boiled over. The groups have officially parted ways and are now locked in a brutal internal server war. From the integrated fields and Stone Wall to faction battles and field bosses, no corner is safe from their relentless conflict.

However, the plot thickens. In this week's integrated battlefield, Black Night Archipelago, Aramunhaesla finds itself face-to-face with Irae. Because Irae’s Black Alliance shares the same goals as the Shining Alliance—who are themselves at odds with KING and QUEEN—a bizarre temporary pact has formed. We are looking at a fascinating three-way dynamic: Irae’s Black Alliance and the Aramunhaesla Shining Alliance standing against the formidable KING and QUEEN alliance.

In terms of boss dominance, the scales seem to tip in favour of the Irae and Shining Alliance. They hold a clear edge in both raw power and sheer numbers. That said, the Aramunhaesla contingent, forged in the fires of their local server feud, isn't going down without a fight. They are actively contesting every inch of the Black Night Archipelago, from the Shining Treasure Chests to the wandering bosses. Who will emerge victorious? We shall see.

Let’s look at the heavy hitters. Representing the Irae, Shining Alliance, we have Axe Master Tusa (164,556 CP), Twin Swordsman Daesama (153,241 CP), Warrior BlackCoffee (144,701 CP), Twin Swordsman Cheonhacheongeom (142,545 CP), and Storm Mage Bbangsama (139,548 CP). On the Aramunhaesla side, the roster includes Archer KingSmaN (161,772 CP), Priest FlowerQueen (146,231 CP), Archer Kkomahyeong (144,891 CP), Archer SugarRush (130,551 CP), and Storm Mage Mollaejuginda (127,015 CP).
