  1. Advanced War Guide for Experienced PvP Players

    Many guides exist for new and intermediate players, especially from Kefo and Day, but advanced players often lack resources. My guides aim to fill that gap by covering unexpected mechanics and advanced war strategies.

    Understanding War Plunder Mechanics

    War plunder is influenced by misc stats, profile stats, tutor bonus, and relationship (RS) bonus. However, several commonly believed factors have no effect on war plunder:

    Pets, furniture, and avatars

    % items from your showcase


    Maximizing War Performance

    1. Always equip your strongest pet, furniture, and avatar – while they don’t affect war plunder, they still boost your overall strength in fights/dances.


    2. Never enter war as a 1% player – experienced players often lower their misc before joining a war to avoid being at 1%, but this should be a last resort. Staying as strong as possible is more beneficial.


    3. Understanding Plunder Nodes – Misc stat increases don’t always have a linear effect on plunder. Instead, plunder fluctuates at certain "nodes."

    If you are a 1% player and increase your misc stats, there comes a point where you stop being 1%.

    If you keep increasing misc stats further, you will become 1% again at another threshold.

    These shifts occur at increasing intervals, doubling in required misc each time (e.g., +2bcs, then +4bcs, then +8bcs, etc.).



    4. Hit Range Buckets & Plunder – Plunder is directly tied to your hit range bucket, which depends on:

    Profile stats

    Tutor bonus (TB)

    RS bonus

    Max misc cap (which itself is dependent on TB, profile stats, and RS)



    5. How to Avoid 1% Plunder – Now that you understand nodes, what should you do? Simply keep increasing misc over the cap to a point where you stop being 1%.

    For players below 100mcs, this is easier if they have lots of misc in alts.

    For players over 100mcs, it becomes increasingly difficult, but if possible, this is the best strategy to remain as strong as possible for war without lowering misc for plunder.




    Key Takeaways

    Nodes (Plunder Points): Your plunder will suddenly drop or increase at specific misc thresholds.

    Buckets Matter: No matter how much misc you stack, your plunder adjustments will remain consistent within the same bucket.

    No Need for Weaker Avatars: Avatars, pets, and furniture do not impact war plunder, so always use your strongest setup.


    This guide is meant to help advanced players optimize their war performance and understand the mechanics that aren’t commonly explained. If you have further insights or strategies, feel free to share ik the comments.


    Note: misc over the cap has no effect on outcome of pvp actions or your hit range.
