Villain Invasion Event Guide
Complete Villain Invasion act guide: Death, Tartaros, Sword, Dawn mechanics, Crow Relic, and team roles.
**Villain Invasion** was the headline limited event of **Update 0.5**. Players cleared four escalating acts on the **Crow Hideout** map. Owning a **Crow Relic** was required to earn Villain Coins and completion rewards on the final stage — you could still practice without it. This guide archives the act mechanics for players who cleared the event and for reference when similar limited maps return.
Act Mechanics
| Act | Theme | Key Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Act 1 | Death — speed stacks, Armored/Commander buffs | Slow + focused single-target DPS |
| Act 2 | Tartaros — heals by eating allies, Veil shields | Burst + shield shred / sustained pressure |
| Act 3 | Sword — respawns unless killed under DoT | Mandatory damage-over-time coverage |
| Act 4 | Dawn — Splitters, Summoners, all prior modifiers | 3–4 players with assigned roles |
Act 4 Role Split
- Player 1 — slows / crowd control for Death stacks
- Player 2 — DoT uptime so Sword enemies stay dead
- Players 3–4 — raw damage, buffs, and leak catch
- Ideal party size: 4 · solo Act 4 is possible but punishing
Quest Highlights
- Act Conqueror chains (#1 / #5 / #10 clears) paid Villain Coins + EXP
- Crow Conqueror quests rewarded the largest coin piles
- Finish non-daily quests for the “Complete Villain Invasion” bonus
