The Roots of War League in Call of Dragons is one of the most competitive and rewarding events in the game, pitting alliances against each other in 30v30 strategic warfare. Unlike casual battles or smaller seasonal events, this event requires coordination, planning, and consistent participation from every member of your alliance. This guide covers the event’s structure, the role of alliances, the importance of preparation, and how your Alliance can score higher using different strategies. Let’s begin through the basics!

What is the Roots of War event in Call of Dragons?

The Roots of War League is essentially an extended, season-long competition that was announced earlier with the February major update. In this event, alliances battle for dominance over territory and resources. The league is divided into multiple stages, beginning with preparation, moving into active war phases, and culminating in final rankings based on territory control and accumulated points.

Keep in mind that only players in an alliance whose city level is 16 or above are eligible to participate in the event. The Alliance leader can put out 30 main members and 10 substitutes. During the event, alliances must expand strategically by capturing strongholds, fortresses, and resource nodes while defending their existing territory from rival groups. Success in this league is not only about brute strength but also about smart planning, diplomacy, and coordination across all members.

Preparation for the Event

The most critical stage in the Roots of War League is preparation. Strong alliances begin laying the groundwork well before the battles truly begin. First, leadership must ensure that all members are active and ready to participate. Inactive players are a liability, as the league demands consistent effort across multiple time zones. Setting clear expectations about activity levels, donation requirements, and participation in rallies ensures everyone is aligned.

Second, alliances should focus on resource stockpiling. Wars are expensive, requiring healing speed-ups, stamina potions, and a steady flow of food, wood, ore, and mana. Encouraging members to farm efficiently before the League begins provides the alliance with the necessary reserves to sustain prolonged campaigns. This preparation stage sets the tone for the rest of the League and often separates serious contenders from casual participants.

Troop Composition and Hero Recommendations

Individual players contribute most effectively by ensuring their armies and heroes are optimized for the League. Troop diversity is essential as alliances need a balance of infantry, cavalry, marksmen, and mages to succeed. Infantry form the defensive backbone, cavalry provide mobility for flanking and raiding, marksmen excel in ranged offense, and mages deliver devastating magical damage.

Players should focus on pairing heroes with their strongest troop types to maximize efficiency. Upgrading hero skills, equipping optimal artifacts, and maintaining balanced troop counts all make a significant difference in the League’s battles. Since large-scale fights can drag on, investing in healing and sustain abilities can keep armies in the field longer without draining resources too quickly.

Acquire more Territory for your Alliance

Territory is the lifeline of the Roots of War event. Capturing and holding key zones is not only a symbol of dominance but also a practical necessity if you want to advance in the rankings of the event. Fortresses, in particular, provide strong defensive positions and grant strategic advantages such as faster rallies and resource generation.

Alliances should prioritize capturing strongholds near their base of operations first, creating a safe zone from which to expand outward. Overextension is a common mistake as grabbing too much territory too quickly can leave gaps in defenses that rival alliances will exploit. Additionally, resource nodes scattered across the map provide bonuses that can give your alliance a competitive edge. Controlling mana nodes, for example, can allow for faster spell casting, while food and wood nodes help sustain armies during drawn-out wars. The alliance that manages territory efficiently often emerges victorious in the League.

How does the Scoring system work in Roots of War?

At the end of the battle phase, your score determines the performance of the Alliance. The scoring tally is done via distinct mechanics. Firstly, any building you occupied for the first time gives you massive points. Periodically occupying buildings and resource nodes also give out points. Individual scores are given to players who defeat enemies during the event, but these are not gone towards the Alliance cumulative score.

What are Lifestones in Roots of War?

When Lifestone spawns for the first, players will have 15 minutes to bring it to its destination. The Lifestone will disappear at the end of the 15-minute timer. One minute later, a fresh Lifestone will materialize on a random Lifestone Pedestal. If you give Lifestone to a Lunambrite Pool, it will be dropped and available for pickup by other players. If you bring Lifestone to a Safe Zone, it will respawn at its original Lifestone Pedestal shortly after, but without awarding your team points.

Successfully deliver Lifestone to one of your team’s buildings or a neutral building to get a lot of points. Each time Lifestone is successfully delivered, the number of points both sides can earn from the next successful delivery grows.
