Windtrace Event - How To Win
How To Win - Hunter
| How To Win | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Capture all Rebels |
| 2 | Prevent the Rebels from completing the repairs |
Capture All Of The Rebels
Similar to previous Windtrace events, the Hunter wins once they capture all of the Rebels. To do so, you will have to tag them twice each per match!
Prevent Them From Completing Objectives
Additionally, even if you don't capture them all, if the Rebels are unable to repair the Signaling Devices when the time runs out, the Hunter wins.
How To Win - Rebel
| How To Win | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fully repair the needed Signaling Devices |
Fully Repair The Signaling Devices
The goal of the Rebels is to fully repair the required Signaling Devices. There will be 6 of them per match, but Rebels will only need to repair 4 of them.
Evade & Hide From The Hunter
It's also highly recommended that players evade the Hunter as much as possible. Work together to repair the devices while escaping the Hunter!
Windtrace Event - New Rules
Captured Rebels Will Go To Surveillance Zone
Rebels no longer are out from the game from a single tag. They will instead go to a Surveillance Zone where they can eventually go back in the game.
Other Rebels Can Free Captured Rebels
Although Rebels will be let out eventually in the zone, other players can go and help out captured Rebels.
Permanently Out If Captured Twice
However, if a Rebel is tagged by a Hunter twice, they will be out of the game. They will go into Observation Mode wherein they can only watch the game from them on. If the Rebel team wins, they will still get the same rewards!
The More Rebels Fixing The Device, The Faster It Will Be
The device will go at a faster rate if more Rebels go and fix it. However, this is a high risk, high reward strategy since it will emit a light that all players, including the hunter, can see!
Windtrace 4.6 Rerun - Hunter & Rebel Tips
Rebel Guiide
Rebel Abilities
| Ability | Description |
|---|---|
| Concealing Beacon (Normal Attack option) | Place a Concealing Beacon. While close to this Beacons, the Rebels will be invisible and cannot be discovered by the Hunter until the Beacon is destroyed or until the Rebel gets close enough to a Signaling Device to repair it. If the Hunter uses "Capture!" on the Concealing Beacon, they will have their vision obscured for a short time. 45s CD |
| Transparency (Normal Attack option) | Enter hidden mode for 5s. During this time, you cannot be discovered by the Hunter. Entering this mode will dispel your current disguise, The Hunter's Windward Arts "Capture!", "Mysterious Hunch," and "Sensor Aura" will all still take effect against a hidden Rebel. When a Rebel gets close enough to a Signaling Device to repair it, their hidden state will lose effect. 30s CD |
| Disguise (Elemental Skill) | Click: Randomly be disguised as one of the specialized objects in the area. Hold: Removes the disguise/ The disguise will be removed when you glide or swim. |
| Starstep (Elemental Burst) | Movement SPD is greatly increased for the next 30s. |
Keep An Eye On Your Mini Map To See The Hunter's Location
The Hunter's location is displayed on the mini map at all times. Keeping an eye for their location will allow you to know when it's safe to repair devices or when you should hide.
Fix The Device But Hide As A Rebel Comes Near
Your priority is not to hide this time, but to fix the devices. Only hide when a Rebel is approaching or circling around the device you're fixing.
As A Team, Repair Devices That Are Far From Each Other
The mini map will also show which device is being repaired. It's best to always choose the one far from the other being focused on to make it harder for the rebel to go between the two locations.
Stay Near The Device You're Repairing While In Disguise
It's not good to run too far if the Hunter is not going after you. Stay relatively close to the Device so you can easily repair it when the Hunter moves a bit further away.
