OVERVIEW

Many armies have been competing in practice battles to prepare for what is about to come next in the upcoming heated battles of Legends Cup XV. The current version of Legends Cup has been sparking new debates and theories as to who will take the championship back home. Notably, this tournament has made armies work more efficiently and structurally – in some ways, new methodical routes are being taken. In todays battle report, we investigate a practice battle that was fought by two armies that have upheld their organizational framework: the Help Force and the Army of Club Penguin. These two combatants are by no means a weak force, as they have consistently demonstrated their might in the community.

Room 1: Iceberg

ACP were the first to enter the room, forming a “uT” formation, while HF entered shortly after in a “+” shape. Sizes stood at 23-11, favoring ACP. Their spread-out, wide formation gave an impression of even greater size. HF soon shifted into a “/” shape. ACP displayed superior tactics in both speed and execution. They initiated movement first, bombing into a clean triangle, while HF responded with a waterfall that transitioned into a “V” at the four-minute mark. ACP maintained a sharp triangle, clearly more structured than HF’s uneven, disorganized “V”.

Following this, ACP waterfall-ed into an “X” formation. Sizes were now 25-13. HF raked into a “\”, but ACP held their ground well. HF’s formation remained cluttered, with several troops out of place. For the majority of the room, ACP consistently held stronger formations and faster tactics. Despite HF’s size disadvantage, even with equal numbers, the result likely wouldn’t have changed due to their sloppy movement and poor formation control. ACP takes the win for Room 1.

Room 2: SNOW FortS

HF entered the room first, forming an “X”, while ACP followed with a “bL”. Sizes were 22-14 in favor of ACP. Coverage was relatively equal, with ACP slightly better at covering the room. HF were slower in tactic speed but had solid tactic completion. ACP moved first, bombing into a square “U”, while HF held their ground steadily. ACP’s formation was large, making effective use of their size. At the 4-minute mark, HF bombed poorly into what could only be described as a left “uT”. Their formation was extremely bunched and messy.

HF then switched to a “+”. ACP responded with a bomb into a right angle triangle, covering HF in the process. This marked the third “bL”-based formation from ACP in this room. Both armies were slow in tactic speed. HF then waterfall-ed into a “uV” formation. Neither army stood out significantly this room. It began evenly and shifted back and forth between moments of advantage for ACP and HF after the first few minutes. The room is ruled a Tie.

ACP entered the room first, forming a “V”, while HF formed a “uT”. Sizes were 23-15 in favor of ACP. Both armies were a bit messy, ACP more so. ACP had the marginally larger formation at this point in the room, winning out coverage against HF on the horizontal. HF used the opportunity of ACP moving to fix the gaps in their horizontal, making their formation look far cleaner. ACP were the first to move in the room, bombing into a “Y” formation, with HF defending extremely well against this. HF then followed this up by bombing into a clean “V” formation.

HF used their size quite well with this form, managing to match coverage with ACP despite being down about eight troops. ACP then followed this up, bombing into an “A” formation. Sizes were 22-18 in favor of ACP. HF then bombed into a “uV” formation, fighting for coverage against ACP. Both armies were evenly visible in this formation, with coverage being quite even overall. Despite their shortcomings in previous rooms, HF were able to pick up the pace, using their size to the best of their ability, allowing them to at worst match coverage with ACP and at best appear larger in the room. Thus, HF won Room 3.

This practice battle was a thrilling and closely fought battle. Both armies displayed their might throughout the battle, showcasing their strength with moments of tactical brilliance on both sides. It’s transparent that these armies are formidable contenders for the upcoming tournament and are ameliorating their abilities to reach the limit of the sky. Do you believe the armies will be prepared in time for the Legends Cup? Did you enjoy reading the post?
