This isn’t just another skirmish; it’s a world-matching event that pits you against other adventurers in intense, high-stakes battles across diverse and ever-changing landscapes. Whether you seek the thrill of combat, the satisfaction of conquest, or the rewards that come with victory, the Battlefield of the Sun has something for every warrior daring enough to step onto its sands.

To partake in this exhilarating content, you must first prove your worth by completing the Story Quest “Crimson Winds of the Desert.” This quest becomes available after you possess over 7,000 CP and have finished the Family Quest “Awaken, Black Spirit” within the Great Desert.

This ensures that only the most prepared and capable adventurers can engage in such a high-level event, making it an exclusive and rewarding challenge for those who rise to the occasion.

Once you have unlocked access to the Battlefield of the Sun, you can easily navigate to the lobby for these intense battles by heading to [Menu > Arena > Battlefield of the Sun]. But be mindful of the schedule, as these epic confrontations occur at specific times throughout the week. The battles take place on Wednesday from 19:00 to 20:00 and Sunday from 20:00 to 21:00 (UTC-8), offering three distinct variations of the event: Battlefield of the Sun: Crimson Wind, Battlefield of the Sun: Sandstorm Assault, and Battlefield of the Sun: Forgotten Ruins. Each of these battlefields presents its own unique set of challenges, requiring you to adapt your strategies and tactics depending on the environment and objectives.

Remember, the specific battlefield in play rotates weekly, so you’ll need to be prepared for different types of combat scenarios with each new battle. Flexibility and adaptability will be your greatest assets as you face new and unfamiliar terrain, enemy tactics, and objectives each time you enter the fray. Be sure to plan accordingly, as the outcome of these battles can be as unpredictable as the shifting winds of the desert. Additionally, take note that while the Battlefield of the Sun is active, you will not be able to participate in the standard Arena or Ramoness Arena, so you’ll need to decide when to dedicate yourself to this thrilling event and when to focus on other areas of the game.

Every battle you enter will be a chance to prove your skills, earn valuable rewards, and leave your mark on the vast and ever-changing world of Black Desert Mobile. So prepare yourself, adventurer, and step onto the sands of the Battlefield of the Sun where every battle can be the key to your glory!

Battlefield Variations

Battlefield of the Sun: Forgotten Ruins

In the Battlefield of the Sun: Forgotten Ruins, the primary goal is the destruction of the enemy’s Holy Artifact. This sacred object is heavily guarded by a sturdy Barricade and two Guard Towers that unleash significant damage. Victory is claimed by the first faction to obliterate this artifact. However, if the battle stretches for the entire 10-minute duration, the faction with the higher accumulated Contribution Points will be declared the winner.

You can earn these points by dealing damage to the Holy Artifact, with a special reward of 500 Contribution Points going to the adventurer who inflicts the most damage each time 2.5% of its health is depleted. Furthermore, the act of destroying the Holy Artifact itself grants your faction 400 Contribution Points. This battlefield also features a Supreme Commander for each faction, appearing in the central zone, boasting formidable damage and high health. Defeating your opponent’s Supreme Commander will net you 400 Contribution Points.

Early in the battle, a Sealed Captain’s Sword materializes near your faction’s starting point. An adventurer who has amassed 100 or more Contribution Points can claim this weapon, which drastically increases their Attack Power, making them even more potent against enemy adventurers. Be mindful that wielding the Captain’s Sword prevents you from operating the Hwacha or mounting Elephants.

Speaking of artillery, at the battle’s onset, two standard Cannons appear around each Supreme Commander, effective for long-range bombardment. A minute into the fray, and again five minutes later, two more powerful Elite Cannons will appear on the hilltop where the Hwacha is stationed. The Hwacha, situated on each faction’s hill, continuously fires wide-range damaging projectiles. Thirty seconds after the battle begins, an Elephant joins each faction, possessing high HP and proving useful for assaults. Additional elephants arrive three minutes later and upon the defeat of the enemy Supreme Commander.

For strategic maneuvering and surprise attacks, the Forgotten Ruins are dotted with bushes that offer concealment, making adventurers inside invisible and untargetable from afar. There are also two respawn points available, which, except for the main bases, can be captured by either faction.

Battlefield of the Sun: Crimson Wind

In contrast, the Battlefield of the Sun: Crimson Wind shifts the focus to eliminating the enemy faction’s Supreme Commander. Each side has a Commander, and when this leader falls, their weapon is dropped. Picking up this weapon grants the wielder an AP buff, and remarkably, this buff intensifies each time an allied adventurer retrieves it after the previous wielder was slain by an enemy. However, if the wielder leaves the battlefield, the weapon can still be picked up, but the AP buff will not be further strengthened.

The opposing faction’s Supreme Commander will join the battle once your faction has accumulated 3,500 Contribution Points through defeating enemy adventurers. The first faction to defeat this powerful figure claims victory. After the initial 10 minutes of combat, all adventurers on the battlefield receive a combat buff, increasing the damage they inflict on both enemy adventurers and bosses.

Upon death in this battlefield, you can select a Respawn Point to revive at. Strategically capturing an enemy Respawn Point not only allows your allies to respawn closer to the action but also restores 5000 HP to them and boosts the damage they deal to enemy adventurers by 20% for a duration. Capturing a point requires interacting with it for 3 seconds. If no Supreme Commander falls within the 20-minute time limit, the faction with the greater number of Contribution Points will emerge victorious; a tie in points results in a draw.

Battlefield of the Sun: Sandstorm Assault

The Battlefield of the Sun: Sandstorm Assault, similar to Crimson Wind, revolves around defeating the enemy faction’s Supreme Commander, who appears in the battlefield’s center once your faction amasses 3,500 Contribution Points. Again, the first to vanquish this commander wins. If the Supreme Commander remains undefeated after 15 minutes, the faction with the higher total Contribution Points will be the victor.

A unique element of this battlefield is the Sealed Faction’s Sword, located in the middle and appearing once destroyed. This weapon provides the same AP buff as the Commander’s sword in Crimson Wind. The sword differs based on your faction: Calpheon wields Seric’s Sword, while Valencia commands Nesser’s Sword. Notably, adventurers wielding the Faction Sword cannot mount Tactical Elephants, Cannons, or Hwachas.

Tactical Elephants play a significant role, with one joining each faction 1 minute after the battle commences, another upon the death of an allied Commander, and a final one when an allied Supreme Commander appears, with a maximum of three per faction. These elephants spawn at each faction’s unconquerable node. They can inflict damage by colliding with enemies every 3 seconds and can deploy exploding bombs that deal significant area-of-effect damage and inflict Stun, similar to a cannon attack.

While mounted on a Tactical Elephant, you are protected from combat damage but will dismount if the elephant faints; furthermore, respawn points cannot be captured while mounted. Alchemy Stones that enhance elephant damage have no effect on Tactical Elephants.

Sandstorm Assault features Cannons positioned on each faction’s hill, with three available per side. These can damage all targets, and the effects of Alchemy Stones that increase cannon damage do apply. If you are hit while manning a cannon, the cannon itself takes damage. A Neutral Hwacha is also situated in the middle of the hill, capable of damaging all targets, and it benefits from Alchemy Stones that boost its damage. However, if you are hit while using the Hwacha, your adventurer will take the damage.

In terms of respawn points, each faction has a main node and an additional node that can be conquered by interacting with it. Conquering an additional node allows your faction members to select it as a respawn point, and the conqueror will have their HP fully restored. The enemy’s main node, however, cannot be captured. A crucial addition for survival in this intense battlefield is the HP Potion, which has unlimited uses and is provided by default upon entering. This potion restores 500 HP with a 3-second cooldown and can be used manually or set to automatic use when your HP falls below a certain threshold.

Key Strategies and Tactics

Maximizing Success in the Battlefield

To maximize your success on the Battlefield of the Sun, it’s crucial to understand the specific objectives of the current battlefield and tailor your strategy accordingly. Effective team composition and designated roles can significantly improve your chances of winning. Lower CP players might focus on dealing damage to objectives (PvE), while higher CP adventurers can prioritize engaging and eliminating enemy damage dealers (PvP).

While capturing enemy spawn points in Crimson Wind can be advantageous, it’s important to prioritize this strategically, especially after your team has reached a certain point threshold. Learning to effectively utilize the special weapons and vehicles available on each battlefield, such as the Commander’s Weapon/Faction Sword, Cannons, Hwachas, and Elephants/Tactical Elephants, is paramount. Be aware of any limitations these might impose, such as the inability to use other features while wielding a special weapon.

Adapting your strategy based on whether your team is winning or losing is essential. If you’re behind, identify what your team lacks, whether it’s more aggressive PvP engagement or increased PvE damage to objectives, and adjust your focus. While direct in-game communication with random teammates can be challenging, make use of the ping feature in Forgotten Ruins to coordinate artillery strikes.

New players, especially in battles featuring cannons, can find success by quickly securing a cannon and using its range to attack enemy players and objectives from a safer distance. Prioritize targeting the main objective initially and then shift focus to supporting teammates by attacking nearby enemies.

Rewards and Progression

Your participation in the Battlefield of the Sun is rewarded in several ways. Individual Season Rewards are granted based on your total victories within a week, running from Monday to Sunday. These rewards, such as increased AP, DP, and Max HP, are automatically collected upon entering the Battlefield of the Sun menu and remain active until the end of Sunday.

Additionally, you earn Battle Rewards after each individual match, which depend on the overall outcome and your personal performance, specifically the number of enemy adventurers you defeat and your Contribution Rank. A victory awards 30 Medals of Honor, and defeating 30

enemy adventurers grants an additional 10 Medals of Honor. Your rank based on Contribution Points also yields Medals of Honor: 1st-10th place earns 10 Medals, 11th-20th receives 8 Medals, and 21st-30th gets 6 Medals. These Medals of Honor can be exchanged at the dedicated shop for a variety of valuable items to aid your adventures.

Medal of Honor Shop

The Medal of Honor Shop offers items such as Crazed Scale Armor, Orzekel Harness, various Tokens (Card Sloider Choppy Tier 7, War Elephant, Baby Elephant), Unidentified Shaman’s Orb, Shadow Chaser Outfit Chest, and the Honor Outfit Exchange Coupon. Stockpiling these medals will allow you to acquire powerful gear and unique items.

Conclusion

By understanding these mechanics, objectives, and strategies, you’ll be well-equipped to step onto the Battlefield of the Sun and carve your own legend. The key to success lies in your ability to adapt to the ever-changing dynamics of each battle, communicate with your team, and effectively utilize the tools and resources at your disposal. Whether you’re facing off in the Forgotten Ruins, fighting in the Crimson Wind, or navigating the tumultuous Sandstorm Assault, the challenges you encounter will test not only your individual skill but also your capacity to work as part of a larger force.

Every decision you make, from when to engage the enemy to how you position yourself on the battlefield, can tilt the balance toward victory or defeat. Don’t underestimate the importance of team coordination, as a well-synchronized team can easily overpower a scattered or disorganized one. Focusing on key objectives, such as defeating the Supreme Commander, securing critical weapons, or capturing respawn points, can lead to crucial advantages that turn the tide of battle in your favor.

In addition to the thrill of combat, the Battlefield of the Sun offers rich rewards that enhance your progression and provide meaningful incentives for continuous participation. The Medals of Honor and other loot can be used to acquire powerful gear and items that will make you even more formidable in future battles. Whether it’s upgrading your equipment, unlocking new abilities, or enhancing your overall stats, the rewards you gain from your success in these battles will benefit you greatly in the broader world of Black Desert Mobile.

But remember, the battlefield is not just about fighting—it’s about strategy, timing, and knowing when to strike and when to hold back. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each battlefield variation, making the most of your faction’s unique advantages, and knowing how to leverage your individual character’s abilities are all essential to mastering this content. Be prepared to learn from each encounter, refine your tactics, and grow stronger with every battle.

As you continue to dive deeper into the Battlefield of the Sun, you will find that the stakes get higher, the challenges more intense, and the thrill of victory even sweeter.
