The Dark Warriors recently experienced a major shift in their leadership structure, marking the end of one era and the beginning of another. Holo2 has decided to step down from leadership due to his busy schedule; two additional leaders have stepped up to take on the responsibilities. Let’s examine what led to this leadership shift.

HOLO2’S LEGACY
The Dark Warriors were officially revived, with Holo2 serving as a leader to help restore them. DW was officially revived on July 5, 2025, following a period of dormancy that began after their shutdown in late 2020. During Holo’s tenure as a Dark Warriors leader in 2025, he played a crucial role in orchestrating the army’s revival and shaping its early trajectory. As part of the leadership team that brought DW back on the 5th of July, he helped engineer a successful return, marked by a max of 41 at their revival event.

His strategic foresight was evident in the merger with the Mercenaries, and Valiant Azure Knights, which strengthened DW’s numbers and influence. Holo2 embraced a collaborative leadership model that emphasized unity and, as well as, shared responsibility. In addition, he significantly contributed to DW’s public image and community engagement by effectively navigating early controversies with professionalism. Furthermore, although his time in leadership was brief, Holo2’s impact was foundational, since it laid the crucial groundwork for the army’s renewed presence and future success.
Departure
It has been seen that Holo2 has officially announced his departure within leadership of DW on August 9, 2025, stating that he will be effectively too busy for CPA and he will not be available to put in as much work under the rank of DW Commander. Though his time in leadership was relatively brief, Holo2’s contributions were foundational. He helped lay the groundwork for DW’s renewed presence, setting the tone for its culture, strategy, and long-term ambitions. His legacy remains tied to the successful rebirth of one of CPA’s most iconic armies, and his efforts continue to influence DW’s direction even after his departure from leadership.

INDUCTION OF DUAL-LEADERSHIP
On behalf of Holo’s resignation from the leadership team, Midnight and Salah has risen up to take in responsibility as new DW commanders. Both individuals have had great experience in past armies and, moreover, have successfully led both armies and leagues. DW sees this as a new opportunity to show the community that they are strong, and they will do anything to accomplish their goals.
Midnight and Salah’s induction as new DW Commanders
We over at the Club Penguin Armies were unable to reach out to Holo2 as he is unavailable. We were able to reach out to Midnight and Salah to see their insights and goals as a leader.
What does leadership in DW mean to you, and how do you plan to honor its legacy?
Midnight: The title of leader in DW carries a lot of weight. I plan to honour its legacy by taking DW to the top where it belong
Salah: Leading DW means more to me than words can fully express. It’s a community where I’ve built countless cherished memories, and taking on this role is an honor. Honoring the legacy of Dark Warriors, one of the most prestigious armies, is a responsibility I take to heart. With the right people and unwavering dedication, I believe the spirit of DW can not only reach the top but remain there for years to come.
How do you plan to foster unity and motivation within the team?
Midnight: kebab
Salah: I believe that consistent effort and unwavering resolve are key not only to building motivation, but also to sustaining unity within the team.
Are there any goals you would like to achieve while you are a DW Supreme commander?
Midnight: #1 on Top Ten
Salah: There are many goals I hope to achieve during my time as Dark Warrior Supreme Commander starting from achieving success by climbing the ranks and reaching the top as an army to building a community that can stand the test of time where members can create wonderful, lasting memories.
Do you have a message for the community?
Midnight: It’s spelt “honour” you donut
Salah: Above all, my gratitude goes to this community for its resilience through countless challenges. Over time, it has become more than just a competitive space it’s a home where healthy rivalry thrives alongside moments of joy and the bonds of true friendship.
In conclusion, both of these leaders have intentions to climb up the rankings in the weekly top ten armies, and they believe that, through effort, they can achieve that. These new leaders would like to stand out to the people and armies in the community and show that they will not waver to anyone and anything that stands in their way. Do you think DW could get to the top of the armies within this new leadership? Assuming these were your objectives, what strategies would you employ to accomplish them?
