Weekly Event

In League of War: Mercenaries, there are 3 types of events: Invasion, Raid, and Alliance Team. They are limited-time events that occur for 4 days on a weekly schedule and feature rare event units that might not be obtainable in normal chests or even completely unobtainable depending on the current pool of units in the event unit chest. The grand prize is a 5-star unit awarded to the top-performing alliance in an Invasion or Alliance event. In a raid event, the grand prize is a 6-star unit, with the 5-star unit being the main prize for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place. The 4-star, 3-star, 2-star, and 1-star units are also awarded accordingly to lower-ranking alliances or players. There are a total of 3 events in an event cycle. The events are arranged for Alliance Team, then Raid, and finally Invasion. The manufacturers will also change in each event. The primary manufacturer will be distributed as unit parts scattered throughout all events in the cycle. This means that all of the prize units of the primary manufacturer must be crafted by the player except for the 1-star unit, which means it is unobtainable from the event as a result. Due to there being only 3 events per cycle, only 4 variants of the featured units can be obtained. The last variant remains unobtainable as event prizes and must be acquired through event unit chests.

The map used in invasion events

In the Invasion event, the battles take place on an onslaught style map, where units that were deployed in a previous mission will not be able to be deployed again. There are 10 islands, each guarded by a random player's squad rather than the usual AI characters. Like the alliance team events, enemy players gradually grow stronger with each mission as well as more points for rewards, though there is still a little chance that the enemy players around the second and third islands might actually become weaker. The player can choose to reset the map at any time just like onslaughts should they run out of viable units. Unlike onslaughts, however, the first battle must be won in order for the reset button to appear. The last island battle can be repeated multiple times unlike onslaughts and grant the player points each time they are able to defeat the enemy player guarding the island. However, the player still loses access to previously used units like usual, meaning unless the player has a large number of powerful units, its best to reset and not waste energy on useless battles. The player can earn progress rewards as they win battles up to 3 million points. Since the enemy squads encountered are squads of other players like in a raid battle, the player may find that the squad they initially prepared to fight has changed because the player didn't have enough energy to fight at the moment.

The Raid event is where the player can unleash their squad's wrath and attack as many players as they want and gather more points for themselves to win better rewards. Unlike the other two types of events, the final progress reward tier rests at 100,000 points. The player earns 10 points for their first victory when not in a streak and each victory afterward will double the points earned up to a maximum of 640 until the player's streak expires after 5 minutes of not raiding or the player fails to defeat an enemy. The player can spend some gold (cost increases as the player's streak grows bigger) to receive a second chance and preserve their win streak. The terrain may change if the player chooses to take the second chance and fight again. If the player loses a second time, their streak is permanently lost. Unlike the other types of events, a natural 6-star unit is featured as the top prize along with the other event units released in the event cycle. Even though it is a fight against another player in the helipad, raid league challenges will not reward any event points and do not affect the player's progress in the event. The player must raid another player for their resources in order to score points.

The map used in alliance team events

In the Alliance Team event, there are 3 islands in a format similar to the single-player campaign for the player to fight in and gain points for their alliance. The enemy units gradually grow stronger with each mission as well as more points for rewards. The player can earn progress rewards as they gain points up to 2 million points. Each mission the player has completed will also be available as a warzone mission. From the second island on there will be extreme weather in which a certain type of unit will not be able to be deployed. On the third island, all enemy units will be from the same manufacturer. While it does not disable, it effectively discourages the player from using a certain unit type.

Event Rank Rewards

An example of alliance rank rewards

After an event is over, the player will receive additional rewards based on the player's alliance performance in the event, or their own performance in raid events. The rewards consist of scrap, time boosters, units, unit parts, event unit keys, and event unit part keys. Depending on what kind of event took place, additional items are awarded. In invasions, thorium is rewarded. In raid events, raid key fragments are awarded. In alliance team events, scrap is awarded.

Event Progress Rewards

As the player participates in an event by battling in the respective event, they gain event points that contribute to alliance rank or player rank in raid events. At a certain amount of points, the player earns some rewards for reaching the milestone with their points earned. Progress rewards can consist of the following items:

• Scrap
• Unit parts
• Time boosters
• Event unit part chest keys
• Event unit chest keys¹
• Tech
• Dark metal²
• Thorium³

1. Only awarded after the player has reached 900,000 points in invasion events
2. Only awarded after the player has reached 1.2 million points in invasion events, 46,000 points in raid events, or 560,000 points in alliance team events
3. Only awarded after the player has reached 2.15 million points in invasion events or 1.3 million points in alliance team events

Usually, as the player gains more points, the better the rewards become, such as offering more keys and dark metal. Once the player has reached the last tier of progress rewards, no more items are rewarded afterward, but the player can continue earning points for their alliance or themselves in raid events. The rewards for each event are as shown:

• Note: Due to event rewards being tweaked and revised, the list may not be accurate as of 4/5/24.

Holiday Event

In the first week of December of 2020, a special alliance team event took place that had a festive theme to coincide. Enemy squads are only comprised of redpoint, greenbrake, and whitehawk units with the exception of two missions.

Announced in the development roadmap for 2024, a special type of invasion event will be introduced in Q4 of 2024. As a 4 star capped invasion event, it is most likely that players will be limited in using units that have a maximum rank of 4 stars.

A new type of event called Top Guns will be introduced in Q3 of 2024. It will last longer than other event types and have slightly different rewards as a result. Players will compete in four divisions to ensure a fair fighting chance.

Trivia

• The icon for events differs depending on the type of event that is active. A helmet icon is for alliance team events, a biohazard symbol is for invasions, and a helipad symbol is for raid events.
• Winning a battle on the alliance team event map is considered defeating a campaign mission by assignments. This allows players who have beaten the single-player campaign to complete the "Defeat x campaign missions" daily assignment.
• Winning a battle in an invasion event is considered to be defeating another player in a raid by assignments, despite using energy instead of intel and the fact that no resources were actually raided.
• Despite the developers stating in the past that natural 6-star units cannot be obtained outside of crafting with parts obtained from dark ops, raid events now feature a natural 6-star unit as the top prize.
• When events were first released, there was no invasion event. Instead, there was a 4-event cycle alternating between alliance team and raid.
• The alliance team event was the first-ever event to be released with the Agni and Alpra as the first event unit prizes.
• In the holiday mission name Sohei the Vulcan Recon, it still refers to the old name for redpoint, unlike all other missions that reference manufacturers such as Bluesteel Christmas.
