You might have heard of, or even visited the Ancient temple, and, like me in my
first visit, didn't understand a thing. Well, this guide is here to help you.
Arrangement: First of all, before entering the queue look
at the Temple map (Maps
Instance Maps Temple) to see
the structure. The temple has 9 rooms: 6 with crystals of each color, human, and
mag bases, and the central hall. Each hallwith Crystals has 2 crystals in it
initially, which recover about once every 5-6 minutes, someone else might have a
better info on that. Bases have guards that will attack people from opposite
races. The Central hall has the transformer that will transform a set of 3
crystals each of its own color ito an energy sphere. To win a team needs to gain
5 energy spheres.
What to do? To win the temple the most
important thing the team truly need is teamwork. I mean, of course, a leather
team will loose to the fully-equipped blue team no matter how good they work
with each other, but you get the point. If you are going in a group - decide
earlier as to who goes where - usually there are two setups that work best: 1 -
Player A goes to the Western hall nearest to his base and works his way through
on his side; Player B does the same thing on the Eastern side. Player C either
drinks a speed elixir and rushes to one of the locations closest to the
opponent's base and has a fairly good chance of catching a miner. Setup 2:
Players A and B do the same thing, but C (strongest one, preferably a
bonecrusher for faster fights) stands in the center hall and attacks any
incoming mags. There are other setups, too, but I like these two best
personally. If yoi went alone - don't hurry to leave your base. Wait for your
team members to leave first and see where you should go
yourself.
Tips:
• Never start fights yourself
unless you are sure in a quick victory. Time means everything in the temple.
• DO NOT ever join someone else's fight, even if they are begging you
for it.
• If someone attacked you and you have no means to win the fight
(let's say, you are a mammoth, and he has a full anger set) - stall as long as
you can. Drink elixirs, use scrolls, hit when there are only a few seconds left.
Being a good staller is much more important than being a good fighter in Temple,
usually. That's why IMHO the best teams are made of 2 heavyweights and 1
bonecrusher.
• If you are lucky
enough to get 2 enemies stuck on you - do not hurry to kill, or be killed. Even
if you have a 100% win in your pocket - stall as long as you can. Why? Because
once you kill them they'll go mine again, meanwhile if you have 2 on you, your
teammate has another one - the third guy can easily mine and bring you a
battlefield victory.
