Tips and Stratagems, Recluse¡¯s Victory
By Thomas Foss (aka Archon Voss) -- Senior Staff Designer & Zone Director
Recluse¡¯s Victory is much more of an Epic war zone than a PVP arena. With this in mind, you need to think more like a player on a larger battlefield, and less like someone street sweeping other players. This is an area where Super Groups will be able to really show their teamwork abilities and gain prestige in the presence of their peers;
Solo players can be of special importance making sure that flanks are secure, scouting sectors and infiltration behind enemy lines. Support players can speed up recoveries to players as they emerge from the hospital reclamators, getting more boots on the ground faster.
Basic Strategies
Listen to the contacts
This zone has a lot going on, it is not just PvP. There are three NPC information contacts stationed throughout your base that will provide you with valuable information. Reading what they have to say can prevent several trips to the Hospital. These NPC informants can be identified by the green rings at their feet.
Know your ground
Entering into the zone you will be in a secure base of your side. Take time to look around your base, finding the reclamation chambers, the OPS map, the contacts, and the base teleporter that will take you into the battlefield above ground. Use the teleporter to go topside and see the staging area, or the above ground area of your base. Note that there are two exit points that lead out into the zone proper, with a vis blocking wall so you cannot get camped very easily at a time when you are vulnerable.
