Overview
The Shadow Legionnaries, recently founded by Thunder222, fought against the Fire Vikings, who Yellow Typer recently revived. Both leaders have much experience in their roles. Yellow Typer has been in multiple armies, leading previous incarnations of FV as well as leading the Dark Pirates, another army founded by him. Thunder has experience leading the Dark Vikings as well as previously holding a leadership title in the Elite Guardians of Club Penguin.
Room 1 – Pet Shop
In the first room, the Pet Shop, the Fire Vikings entered first, bombing for a long period of time. SL followed bombing as well. Both armies then formed a ‘spoon’. At this point in the room sizes were equal, being 4-4. Not much after, SL bombed, which FV defended well. After that, SL got into a horizontal form, while FV then waterfalled, but their movement suffered from being riddled with AFK troops. SL additionally struggled with the same issue, as troops were not sending any tactics for long durations of time. Towards the end of the battle, sizes were 5-4 in favour of SL. SL then raked, while FV remained in the same form for the rest of the room. Additionally, FV struggled with troop sending tactics, which led to their struggle towards the end of room 1. Due to the lack of movement from FV, SL secured the room.

Room 2 – Nightclub
Room 2 began with SL entering first, shortly followed by FV. Shadow Legionnaires quickly moved into an A formation; meanwhile, FV continued to bomb before moving into an L formation. SL quickly moves again, waterfalling the room, which FV managed to defend well. Suddenly, FV has a period of inactivity and stops defending, while SL continues to waterfall. After that, SL attempts to form a circle before ultimately switching to a plus form. Meanwhile, FV bombs which is not defended well by their opponents. After that, SL bombs again, being heavily ineffective, switching to a J bomb, continuing to move for a long duration of time. At this point in the room sizes were 5-4 in favour of SL. The Shadow Legionnaires move into a neat V form, which covers FV’s form well. Due to both armies doing well despite having periods of struggle, room 2 was a tie.

Room 3 – Dojo
The final room begins with SL entering the Dojo first, making a vertical form after bombing the room, while FV once again bombs for a long period, before making a neat horizontal form. SL then rakes, before making a very nice UT form, despite struggling with AFKs. Meanwhile, FV remained in a chatbar form. Soon after, SL forms a UV, while FV whirlpools before moving into a V formation. At this point, sizes were 6-5 in favor of FV; however, FV once again struggled with AFKs. Although it was a close room, because of the duration of the movement tactics, and overall dominance, SL emerged victorious in this room and the battle overall.
