When is the first VAMPIR Skirmish?
Skirmish is a clan PvP battlefield where clans fight for the strongest clan title inside their matched server group. Each weekend has two rounds, a Saturday preliminary and a Sunday final, and each round lasts 30 minutes. Every region plays at the same clock time in its own zone.
| Region | Preliminary (Sat, Nov 28) | Finals (Sun, Nov 29) |
|---|---|---|
| NA (UTC-5) | 21:30-22:00 | 21:30-22:00 |
| EU (UTC+3) | 21:30-22:00 | 21:30-22:00 |
| SEA (UTC+7) | 21:30-22:00 | 21:30-22:00 |
The first one is unranked: the two servers of each world face off in a fixed pairing, like SCARLET1 vs SCARLET2 or ARIA1 vs ARIA2. The winning server starts round 2 in Platinum, the loser in Gold. After that, groups reshuffle by the last 2 results: 2 wins Diamond, 1 win Platinum, 0 wins Gold.
VAMPIR's first Skirmish runs on November 28 (preliminary) and November 29 (finals), 21:30-22:00 server time. The top 3 clans per server qualify, and winners get tradeable Elottarvizian weapons plus Diamonds from marketplace tax.
Which clans can join the Skirmish?
- The preliminary battle takes the top 3 clans by total Battle Power on each server.
- Clans are picked on the Friday of the matchmaking week at 04:00 (UTC-5).
- The finals are the two servers' preliminary winners.
- Only General rank and above count toward clan power; Apprentice members can't join unless they're promoted to General before it starts.
- You can enter and re-enter freely while the battle runs.

How do you win the Skirmish and score points?
In the preliminary, the clan with the most points after 30 minutes wins, or the one that kills Victoria. In the finals, it's the most points at 30 minutes or the first clan to 10,000 points. Ties go to kills, then to clan battle power.
| Round | Objective | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Preliminary | Kill Gatekeeper Clamoviege | 1,000 |
| Preliminary | Bring Victoria to 75%, 50% and 25% HP (each) | 2,000 |
| Preliminary | Kill Victoria | 3,000 |
| Preliminary | Kill an enemy clan player | 1 |
| Finals | Hold a Blood Altar (every 5 sec) | 10 |
| Finals | Hold the Grand Blood Altar (every 5 sec) | 20 |
| Finals | Kill the Forgotten Lord | 500 |
| Finals | Kill the Abomination | 1,500 |
Boss points go to the clan of whoever lands the final blow.
What are the Skirmish rewards?
Winning clans get the Skirmish-only Elottarvizian's Heroic Weapon Chest in clan storage; opening it gives a heroic weapon for your class. The chest and the weapons are both tradeable.

Enhance those weapons far enough and they become crafting material for the legendary Great Elottarvizian's weapons, which add a special skill. In the example image, the Grim Reaper scythe gives basic attacks a 7% chance to stun for 1.5 seconds.

Diamond prizes come from marketplace tax: 50% of the server tax funds the preliminary prize, and 50% of the server group tax funds the finals. The preliminary winner takes the whole preliminary prize. In the finals, the winner takes 60%, and the other 40% is split between both finalists by points. Individual and clan ranking rewards haven't been announced yet.
What does the winning clan get to control?
- Preliminary winner: a server-wide victory notice and the right to set the World Boss spawn time.
- Finals winner: chat ban powers, setting the Gehenna boss spawn time, and choosing the entry point for Gehenna Zone 2 and 3 floors.
