Introduction[]

Basic Play Information[]

Each Player will have a Special Rogue Faction Base adjacent to their own base. This Rogue base may only be attacked by the player who's is attached to it.
To complete each a Standard Stage the player must fully destroy the Rogue Base. This means all structures must be completely destroyed. The player may take as much time to do this as is needed with no restrictions on the amount of times they may start and stop an attack
BONUS STAGES. Some stages will have special Hellipads which give Bonus XP when destroyed. However to earn this XP the player must destroy the Hellipads on the FIRST ATTACK, within 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
The Special Units may be purchased during the event. As the player acquires XP they may at any time during and up to 48 hours after the end of the event, chose to spend it on one of the new Units in the Event Shop. Also available in the Event Shop are all past Event Units with the exception of the Units form the Event that immediately preceded this one, Operation Frontline.
The Event ends in one of two ways for a Player. First, if the Official Event Clock expires. The event runs for a limited time of 5 days after which time the Special Rogue Base will be removed from the map. Second, the Player reaches a Stage that he or she can not defeat thus forcing them to resign from the Event.

Additional Information[]

Son of Saints faction ceased operations with the start of Operation Archangel.
Highway Zealots faction was introduced in Operation Archangel.
Archangel is the first event with a progressive Event XP Award. For each level completed the Event XP Award is increased by 20 to 40 XP until the maximum 1300 XP per wave is reached at Wave 40.
In Previous Special Events Bonus XP was awarded by completing a separated Bonus Stage. For Archangel the Bonuses were integrated into the normal stages. The player is awarded for accomplishing a specific task, in this case destroying a number of Helipads, in a an allotted time while finishing the rest of the stage as normal. Levels carrying the Bonuses are sporadically placed as the player proceeds up the levels.
