Siege Missions Player Guide
Cocarro (Universe 2)

Siege Overview

In Cocarro, Lands cannot be purchased, they can be temporarily captured through Siege Missions

This feature is only available to Honey Bags weekly Tier 5 or higher - (5,000 points)
Players can divide their total mission slots (determined by their XP level) between Earth Hunting/Harvesting missions and Cocarro Siege missions
The player who holds a Land is known as the Emperor

The Battle

One Queen and up to 12 Bees (based on Player’s XP level) participate in the battle
Players pay HXD to start Siege Missions
If they fail to capture the Land, the current Emperor receives 50% of the fee and the attacking Bees and Queen go on cooldown (based on their individual Recovery stats)
If the attacking player wins or if there is no Emperor, the fee goes to the Treasury

Rewards

Every 30 minutes:

The Emperor will receive shards and/or items until another player takes the Land from the Emperor
A small number of Emperors will win between 2 and 500 HXD

Cooldown

There is a 60 minute cooldown period during which a newly captured Land cannot be attacked
The cooldown period can be extended 60 additional minutes by deploying a Divine Shield
The Emperor’s Queen and Bees are affected by the poisonous atmosphere in Cocarro which affects how long they can stay on the Land - higher zones are more poisonous

Siege Fee - HXD

Players trying to win a Land will pay a Siege fee based on the Land’s zone:

Zone 1 - 0.4 HXD
Zone 2 - 0.6
Zone 3 - 0.8
Zone 4 - 1.2
Zone 5 - 1.6
Zone 6 - 2.0

If the player fails to conquer the Land, the current Emperor will receive 50% of the fee. The balance will go to the treasury. If the player succeeds, the entire Siege Fee will go to the treasury.

Holding the Land

When a Land comes off of cooldown, players can try to seize the Land from the current Emperor.

Lands in higher zones have a higher poison level which causes Queens and Bees to leave the Land faster than lower zone Lands
The duration of time a Bee can last on the land is based on the Land’s poison level and the Queen and Bee’s individual Health stat - the time is set when the mission starts and can’t be changed
NOTE: Bee’s time left on the Land cannot exceed the Queen’s time left on the Land - maximum base Health stat used in the calculation is 280
Earth Bees have a 50% reduction in their Health stat

When a Siege is Successful

The Land goes on cooldown - during cooldown the new Emperor cannot be attacked and will receive the rewards the Land emits
During cooldown, Emperors can extend the cooldown 60 additional minutes by using a Divine Shield - this can only be done once per Siege
Any winning Bees that are still alive stay on the Land with their remaining Health intact
During the cooldown period, the Emperor can add more Bees (based on the Emperor’s XP level) to the Land to help with gathering rewards
COMING SOON: When possible, Emperors should replace the current Bees with high-generation Bees to maximize rewards
The Health stat of Bees who are on the Land during cooldown won't be affected - the Health stat is only affected by getting hit during a battle

When a Bee leaves a Land, regardless of the reason (knocked out, end of poison tolerance, swapped out by the player, etc.) he will go on a forced cooldown and won't be able to participate in any mission until fully recovered based on his Recovery stat. His recovery time is decreased by the generation of the leader Queen during his last mission.

Possible Rewards

Shards
Items
Every 30 minutes - some Emperors, chosen at random, will win between 2 and 500 HXD

Recovery

When the mission ends, the entire team of Bees and the leader (Queen) will go on recovery (based on each of their recovery stats) during which they can't participate in another mission.

The Bee’s recovery time is reduced based on the leader’s generation:

Genesis leader - 25% reduction
Gen 1 leader - 15% reduction
Gen 2 leader - 8% reduction
Gen 3 leader - no reduction

The Queen leader’s recovery time is reduced based on the active Queen’s generation:

Genesis leader - 25% reduction
Gen 1 leader - 15% reduction
Gen 2 leader - 8% reduction
Gen 3 leader - no reduction

NOTE: Players are not able to cancel Siege missions
