 Divine Boon Divine BoonMonk - Divine Favor - Enchantment Spell Energy: 5 Activation: 0.25 Duration: upkeep Recharge: 10 Enchantment Spell. While you maintain this Enchantment, whenever you cast a Monk Spell that targets an ally, that ally is healed for 15..60 Health, and you lose 2 Energy. The round was an exercise in split execution and defense. War Machine continually pressured Char's NPCs with tandem Assassins. While this was happening, WM relied on its Ritualist and Boon Prot Monks to stage a fight in the middle. Char ran a lot of pressure, however, and the constant damage from two Axe Warriors and a Trapping Ranger proved to be too much for WM to withstand. The battle was a standard affair considering both teams' intentions: WM's Assassins suffered several casualties, but they neutralized most of Char's NPCs in the process. Char, on the other hand, protected its key NPCs (Bodyguards and the Archers stationed near the Guild Lord) while putting an enormous amount of pressure on WM's flag team. At the 14:13 mark, WM took heavy losses and their flag was returned. This was a key turning point in the game, as Char boosted at 14:30. Char then took out most of WM's NPCs, pushed WM back to their Guild Lord, and both sides sustained deaths. Due to constant Morale Boosts, these deaths hurt WM more than they hurt Char. WM player #6 ran a flag out at the 26-minute mark and died in the process. WM's Assassins quickly made their way to Char's base and forced the flag runner to protect the Guild Lord. By the time Char forced the Assassins from its base, WM had another flag and finally boosted at 28:30. This play proved to be too little, too late. Char replanted the flag, took control of the map, and waited for Victory or Death to trigger. Char maintained the advantage at the flag. WM quickly lost a Bodyguard and was forced from the center. WM attempted to gank, but Char reacted quickly and defended itself well. Both Guild Lords made their way to the middle, and at 32:45 WM's Lord was killed. Duration: 33 Minutes Game 2 For game two, WM replaced its Ritualist in favor of a second Mesmer. This allowed the team to be more mobile while its Assassins forced Char's players out. Char swapped out the Ranger subclass from both of Warriors in favor of the Assassin's teleport skills. Additionally, the Ranger trapper was replaced by a second Mesmer.
WM pressured Char hard with Assassins, spreading its defenses out. The Assassins killed multiple NPCs and presented a constant threat in Char's base. While both sides traded kills, WM pulled ahead via NPC advantage. Char scored several impressive Monk kills early in the match, but once its NPCs started falling they were forced to send players to deal with WM's Assassins.  Aura of Displacement Aura of Displacement [Elite]Assassin - No Attribute - Enchantment Spell Energy: 10 Activation: 0.25 Duration: upkeep Recharge: 20 Enchantment Spell. When you cast Aura of Displacement, Shadow Step to target foe. When you stop maintaining Aura of Displacement you return to your original location. WM's Assassins caused numerous headaches for Char as they frequently targeted the Flag Runner. At 7:00, both Assassins teleported to a bodyguard with Aura of Displacement, spiked it, and retreated. The Bodyguard fell due to poisoning and bleeding conditions. WM scored a Morale Boost at 10:20. After doing so, the team pressured Char hard. Char nearly suffered a full wipe at this point (meaning the team was almost entirely wiped out), but instead retreated to its NPCs. At 12:10, Char lost its final Bodyguard. At the 14-minute mark, WM moved to the middle and Char pursued, leaving only player 6 behind for base defense. Shortly afterward, WM's Assassins breached Char's perimeter and eliminated the sole defender, followed by a pair of Monks. WM pressured Char's Guild Lord with no resistance. He fell shortly thereafter, at 17:30. Duration: 18 Minutes Game 3 The final game commenced on the first map and both teams made lineup adjustments before taking the field. WM revisited the build from the first game with the exception of a Mon/War Life Bonder in the Ritualist's place. Char revisited its initial roster this round.
WM forced a split at the top of game three as it sent players 1-4 in a gank squad. Char answered with a defensive unit consisting of players 1, 3, 5, and 7. WM killed several NPCs, though Char kept a lock on its Guild Lord and Bodyguards.  Life Bond Life BondMonk - Protection Prayers - Enchantment Spell Energy: 10 Activation: 2 Duration: upkeep Recharge: 0 Enchantment Spell. While you maintain this Enchantment, whenever target other ally takes damage from an attack, half the damage is redirected to you. The damage you receive this way is reduced by 3..30. Neither team gained an advantage at the flag stand. Char's pressure was slowed by WM's Life Bonder. The game swung in WM's favor at the 10-minute mark. WM's offensive team applied pressure on Char, preventing a successful flag run. This culminated in a Morale Boost for WM at 11:03, and shortly thereafter, the death of Char's defensive Monk. Char regrouped at the guild hall and pushed WM outside. Char muscled its way into WM's base and killed two Archers before being forced out. WM killed one of Char's Bodyguards and established control of the map 15 minutes in. Both sides waited for Victory or Death to activate. WM had a strong NPC advantage and won the battle at the flag stand. WM's NPC advantage was simply too much for Char to overcome. The game ended at 37:58. Duration: 37 Minutes
