Hey there, this is a more in-depth write up of preparations, strategies and tactics to be used during ranked wars, it’s intended for those seeking a deeper knowledge about ranked waring and how to better themselves in different aspects of it. Keep in mind that for equipment obtained from Ranked War is out of scope and will not be covered in this guide; this also includes items in a similar price range.


I've been unable to link to the specific sub headings, but I've opted to gather them all here anyway for transparency, but the table links will only take you to the top of that post and you'll have to scroll yourself for the sub headings

Managing a bludgeoning

Short and concise, well put Goth :)

Hey there,are you new to the battlefield or a bit forgetful on which things to have prepared, this is the place for you.


Understanding War

Minimum faction requirement
First and foremost, you need to be in a faction with 10 or more members (non-Recruits) that have been active within the last 24 hours to join in Ranked Wars or Raids, which is the main topic for this guide, but it can be used for chaining preparations as well, though there’s no need for it to this extend.


The basics of War
For raids it’s a simple matter of smashing the raid button on the faction you want to raid and then keep hitting them until they lose or you agree on a peace treaty.

For ranked war you sign up to these in the faction, every Tuesday the coming weeks fights will be picked against an opponent of similar strength, the calculation is not available but these are the parts that go into it.

[image: i.imgur.com]

• ActualRank: current ranking of the faction achieved through fighting in previous Ranked Wars.
• HiddenRank: secret minimum rank based on total battle stats in the faction members.
• Basicsearch ranges are: Rank (+1/-1), Size (+5 x 1.25/÷1.25 -5) and that it’s not a faction you fought within the last 6 battles.

A ranked war ends when one faction achieves the calculated war score goal, the banner will look something like this.

[image: i.imgur.com]

The lead target is calculated based on how big your faction and the enemy faction are so it’ll vary every time.

Once the war is going every respect earned from hitting the enemy faction-members count towards the goal, the war is over once the lead target has been hit.

If the fight takes more than 24 hours, the Lead target is reduced 1% and again forevery 1 hour after, this is to make it possible to end a fight that’s being stalled, so ranked war is never more than 123 hours.

There are various bonuses that go into earning respect and I'll be touching on a few in the strategy section later.



Prepare yourself

Medical settings
This is a small thing but it can mean the world in a fight gone wild, turn your revival settings to No one.

[image: i.imgur.com]

At first it may seem a bit weird, but this is to avoid the enemy using healers to revive you repeatedly when you’re offline to farm respect points.


Energy stacking
To ensure the best possible performance in the battle, prepare yourself by stacking energy to the 1000 limit, you do this by taking 4 doses of Xanax. It will take you more than 24 hours, so start early if you’re in doubt, the precise time is dependent on your faction and merits. Note that you can OD and have to do it over as well, in that case come with as much as you can manage.

Gearing for war
This will vary wildly depending on budget, faction available materials and strategies, but I’ll like up a decent setup here, that can be seen as an early goal.

[image: i.imgur.com]

Combat Armor is not too expensive and offers decent protection, the Full Body Armor is wanted because it covers such a large area, arms being a very important feature.

Your main armament is where you have a lot of options a Sig 550, Enfield, Tavor, M16 A2 Rifle or Steyr AUG are decent weapons to pick, you want to prioritise having a better accuracy over damage, but it's a balance.

For your secondary weapon it’s all about the Blowgun, it has a high chance to poison the enemy and it deals serious over time damage, you can take out a lot more than you think if you get the poison in.

Your melee weapon is a bit open I can suggest a Macana, it has good accuracy, decent damage and respectable stealth. Other good options include Diamond Bladed Knife and Metal nunchucks.

For temporaries there’s a choice to be made, depending on you and the enemy you’re facing.

[background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]PepperSpray[/background]

• [background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]Highly recommend as it is super inexpensive and takes down your opponent's dexterity to 20% of what it normally is, for 15-20 seconds.[/background]
  
• [background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]The only times you should not use one is when your opponent is wearing a Motorcycle Helmet or any of the other helmets that block it.[/background]
  

[background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]
SmokeGrenade[/background]

• [background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]These are not blocked by anything and take down your opponent's speed to 33% of what it normally is for 120 - 180 seconds.[/background]
  

[background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]
High Explosive Grenade[/background]

• [background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]Goodfor quick one-shot kills because of their high damage output.[/background]
  
• [background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]Can be used to great effect on people who just used medicine to leave hospital early.[/background]
  

Not able to be there at the start (Self-hospitalise)
If you for one reason or another is not able to be there at the beginning of a fight, make sure you’re in the hospital at that time. You want to do this so the enemy doesn’t have an easy target to earn respect on.

[image: i.imgur.com]

This can be archived, by using the wrong blood bag (requires ‘Intravenous Therapy’ under biology education), sending yourself a Small Explosive Device, have friends hospitalize you after beating you up or lack of that have a faction mate put a bounty on your head and have random people do it.



Management during war

Medical cooldown
There is not much to know here, he most effective medical items are blood bags of the correct type, but you need to have to education ‘Intravenous Therapy’ under biology to use them. Lacking that Morphine is the most effective, then First Aid Kit and lastly Small First Aid Kit.

[image: i.imgur.com]

Should you max your Medical cooldown, there’s the option to be revived, remember to switch the option on and off for this or potentially use the Opium drug.


Booster cooldown
Your booster cooldown will mostly be used for energy cans and Feathery Hotel Coupon’s(FHC) during a war, it’s a good idea to have at least some available, but this is a point where you can end up sinking a lot of money. For your first few wars, try use what your faction can offer while you get your bearings.

The effectiveness of energy cans vary, since your faction can buff the energy gained from these. Do note you can use cans to go over your normal energy limit.

FHC’s cannot go over your energy limit and is the most useful if you are a donator/subscriber since this raises your max energy, if you’re not I’d not recommend using FHC.


Energy refill
Remember that you can use 25 points in the point store, to refill your energy bar once a day, this works in wars as well.
[image: i.imgur.com]


Drugs cooldown
Your drugs can do a few things for you, the most notable are:

Vicodin

• Cheap 25% extra battle stats, to make you a scary fighter.

Opium

• Removes all hospital time, 50% health back and a 30% defence increase.

Xanax

• It comes with a -25% to all stats, but 250 energy is 10 more hits, which can mean you can earn more respect.

Going away (Self-hospitalise)
If you need to take a break or have other places you need to be, much like described in the ‘Not able to be there at the start’ section, you’re going to want to self-hospitalise. Again this is done to minimise the amount of respect the enemy can easily earn.


Flying
Now if you’re level 15 or higher you can do flying, flying can be used instead of self-hospitalising, but there are other risks involved.

The main threat here getting caught, it can be an even worse spot in another country, and you might get locked out and potentially farmed. South Africa, Cayman Isles and Switzerland are notoriously bad, because a lot of muggers will be roaming here already.

Aside from getting stuck you also can be tampered with, people working at a Detective Agency could extend the flight time, so you don’t always have control over the time spent unlike hospital times. If you want to fly make sure to coordinate with you faction, it can be used as part of a strategy, but it’s not guaranteed and comes with risks.

Strategy

Communication
This is the most important aspect of any fight, talk to your team stay up to date, be it in faction chat, newsletters on a discord server, which ever your faction prefers. I cannot overstate how important this is, with a well-coordinated team, you can do incredible things.


Activity
Second most important thing, you cannot win a war without being present, simple as.


Chain
When you hit someone a chain is started, this can be tracked on the left panel below your Happy.

[image: i.imgur.com]

When the chain is building the number on the right is the next chain bonus hit, you should land these on the enemy roster to get bonus respect for the war. You can build the chain on other people outside the war, but it’s important that you try to land the bonus hits on the enemies to win the war.

Maintaining a chain is not as easy as it seems, your faction have to make a hit before 5 min passes, easy enough in the beginning when everyone is pumped, but what when you’ve all used the extra Xanax energy ? You should plan out so that some people got energy to maintain the chain called ‘Chain Watchers’ and also have people keeping a steady eye on which enemies can be taken down for the bonus hits. Again Coordination will be the key to winning the fight here.


Roster activity control
A simple way to ensure you are not getting beat up and are not able to run a chain, is by controlling the enemy teams possible counter actions. This can be done by simply hospitalising all who is online and repeat that process, until they run out of medical cooldown to get out and fight back. Usually the enemy will try to do the same and there will be a lot of bonus respect for retaliations.

Winning control over the enemy, will give free reign to gather respect of the other teams offline members and make it a lot easier to guarantee your chain is kept alive and hits their faction.



That’s the short of it; there are many details to Ranked War, not covered entirely here, to keep it concise and useable.

[background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]LSD was a good friend with KingWink (One of WITs Leaders) and approached him with an idea to run a faction to help earn more money for him and for WIT to buy a bigger faction. WIT leaders supported his ambition and purchased the faction LSD wanted, WIT-Defiance. The agreement he made was for LSD to provide 50% to members, 25% to WIT towards a better faction, and 25% for himself.[/background]

LSD was Leading WIT-Defiance and making very good money off of his arrangement with WIT. As you can see in these Discord screenshots, LSD (Discord Screen name: JoJo) had a really sweet deal.

LSD did not put up cash in this deal. The purchase of what became WIT-Defiance was bankrolled entirely by WIT ownership.

This all started in February and March of this year. Everything was going fine until after making Billions as leader of WIT-Defiance over the past 5 months, LSD decided he'd make his grand exit.

[image: i.imgur.com]
[image: i.imgur.com]
[image: i.imgur.com]

This has all been playing out for the past 48 hours, in which time LSD has been given multiple opportunities to correct his betrayal. LSD has decided that instead of leaving on good terms, he'd rather be a thief. A thief with no appreciation for the opportunity that was given to him.

LSD has made it clear that he has no intentions about making things right. And as we move along with him not being here we are also finding out about about other shenanigans like mercenaries reaching out that joined to make money and he has not paid them giving them the same story he gives WIT saying you'll get it.

Same story, different main characters. History has shown how Vault thieves have been treated in TORN. Bounties for weeks on end, thrown out of Factions before they can get comfortable (or taken in by people who are also known scammers). TORN justice has a way of making people who want to play this game re-think their Vault Thief status. Hopefully, for his own sake: LSD will come to his senses soon.

Edit: Removed one of the image with foul language in it by request of a family member.

Bit biased, but I feel like we got something greater than regular faction between us, even our guesting people says as much. I'd describe it as we got heartroom and there's genuine interest in people, instead of just profiles and performance.

He had Grenades.

I HAD to have grenades.

They are mine now.

Only had to leave a few shines as reward.

Would trade for explosives again!

(Edit for more boom)

Thanks I like to think this is the case.
I would suggest maybe a wording like 'Enemy company' or something that indicated it was not mine, would have been very helpful.

What is going on here ?
[image: cdn.discordapp.com]
I hope this is a bug, otherwise I'm a bit sad about it.

(Closed)
Level: 1
BattleStats: 3m+
NNB: 35
Activity: Several times daily.

So I'm a bit of an odd player, I'm holding at lvl 1 and what I'm seeking right now is just a place to sit back for a while.

I'd like to be able to keep running my races and revive as my bar fills up or something akin to that.

I'm not looking for a war faction right now, if anyone has interest feel free to contact, I'm checking many times daily.
