Conquest

Conquest is objective PvP built around capture points that earn score while your team controls them. The win condition is space and uptime, not kill count. A typical match cadence is push for a flip, stabilize the hold, then rotate before the next point collapses.

Maps usually give each point a distinct fight. One might be a long-angle hill where bows and crossbows punish rotations, another a tight room that favors shields, axes, and disciplined trades. Strong teams treat the map like a circuit: stack bodies to secure a cap, leave a reliable anchor, and move early rather than dying late on a lost point.

Loadouts differ by server, but the loop stays consistent: spawn, pick a role, and get back to the objective quickly. Kills matter because they create windows to capture and deny retakes, but farming duels away from the ring rarely wins. Conquest rewards players who track spawns, manage numbers, and take fights that change the scoreboard.

Decision-making is constant and practical. Stay on the zone to finish the flip or chase a one-hit runner. Use a gapple to hold five more seconds or save it for the retake. Split for a back-cap or group for a clean wipe. When Conquest is tuned well, every fight has context because time and control are always pressuring you toward the right objective.

How do you win in Conquest

You win by controlling capture points long enough to reach the score limit first. Most servers award points on a timer while your team holds an objective, so consistent control beats isolated kill streaks.

How do captures usually work

Most setups use a marked zone where standing on the point shifts control toward your team, often faster with more players present. Many servers also pause or contest progress when both teams are inside.

Do kills matter if they do not give score

Yes. Kills remove defenders, stagger spawns, and buy time on the objective. They are valuable when they lead to a capture, stabilize a hold, or stop a rotation.

What team size fits Conquest best

It plays well anywhere from small squads to larger teams, but it feels best when there are enough players to split roles: an anchor defender, a rotation group, and someone watching flanks.

What should I do if we keep losing fights on points

Stop trickling. Regroup, hit one objective with numbers, and secure a clean flip before spreading out again. Dying one by one on a contested point just feeds the enemy timer and keeps your team off the map.

Is Conquest more tactical than arena or FFA

Usually, yes. Mechanics still matter, but Conquest adds rotation timing, crossfires, and objective discipline. Players who arrive early, hold angles, and disengage on time often beat better duelists.
