The Cursed Apple: Difference between revisionsGive feedback

The map is divided into three distinct lanes: '''York''' (Yellow Lane), '''Broadway''' (Blue Lane) and '''Park''' (Green Lane), also referred to as '''Greenwich'''. Outside of these lanes are a series of tunnels, alleyways, and buildings that sometimes contain [[Golden Statue]]s, crates, and neutral [[Denizen]]s. In each lane, a [[Ziplines|Zipline]] extends from both bases directly overhead with each having the color of the corresponding lane. [[The Hidden King|The Hidden King's]] side of the map has mostly worn down red brick buildings, while [[The Archmother|the Archmother's]] side has mostly upper class white brick buildings.

Throughout the map, players can find destructible Boxes and Golden Statues. Boxes have a 60% chance to drop [[souls]] upon being destroyed, and Golden Statues have a 50% chance to drop permanent stat bonuses, such as [[Spirit Power]] or [[Weapon Damage]]. They spawn 2 minutes into the game (except mid-boxes, see [[The Cursed Apple#10:00|Map Timings and Events : 10min]]) and will respawn 3 minutes after being destroyed.

Outside of the lanes is an area of the map called the jungle, which is home to the neutral [[Denizen]] camps. Denizens are alien-like entities that appear in groups and will attack when provoked. They come in three different sizes: small, medium and large, and drop more souls the larger they are. Being neutral units, both teams can attack the same denizen camps, and they will be aggressive to their attackers no matter which team they are on.

In each lane on either team's side, there are a series of powerful defensive structures that must be destroyed in order to reach the enemy base. The first is the [[Guardian]], followed by the [[Walker]] and finally a pair of weaker [[Guardian#Base Guardian|Base Guardians]]. In each team's base are two [[Shrine]]s, which must be destroyed in order to attack the main objective: the [[Patron]]. The Patron has two phases, and will shift to the second one after the first phase has been defeated. Destroying the now weakened Patron is the condition for winning a match.When an objective is destroyed, the bounty is split between the player who landed the killing blow and nearby allies. 30% of the bounty is split among nearby heroes, while the remaining 70% is distributed team-wide.

In the very middle of the map, in the underground sewer, is a second major objective known as the [[Mid-Boss]]. It is a large alien creature similar to the Denizens, possessing a very large health pool, a constantly regenerating shield and a highly dangerous laser beam. After being slain, it will spawn a [[Rejuvenator]] Crystal that can be claimed by either team. The claimer's team will be bestowed with the Rejuvenation Credit buff, granting them special effects.

* '''Easy [[Denizen]] camps'''

** '''Respawn Time:''' {{#expr:floor({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_weak|SpawnInterval}}/60)}}:{{#ifexpr:({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_weak|SpawnInterval}} mod 60) < 10|0}}{{#expr:{{NpcData|neutral_trooper_weak|SpawnInterval}} mod 60}} minutes after all Denizens in camp are defeated.

*** Denizens also drop Unsecured Souls.

* '''Medium [[Denizen]] Camps'''

** '''Respawn Time:''' {{#expr:floor({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_normal|SpawnInterval}}/60)}}:{{#ifexpr:({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_normal|SpawnInterval}} mod 60) < 10|0}}{{#expr:{{NpcData|neutral_trooper_normal|SpawnInterval}} mod 60}} minutes after all Denizens in camp are defeated.

* '''Hard [[Denizen]] Camps'''

** '''Respawn Time:''' {{#expr:floor({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_strong|SpawnInterval}}/60)}}:{{#ifexpr:({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_strong|SpawnInterval}} mod 60) < 10|0}}{{#expr:{{NpcData|neutral_trooper_strong|SpawnInterval}} mod 60}} minutes after all Denizens in camp are defeated.

** '''Machine Effect:''' Has 500 health and can only be damaged with melee attacks. Weak melee attacks will do 50 point of damage and strong melee attacks will do 100 (Weak melee will do 100 damage for last hit). Each hit will deal {{NpcData|neutral_sinners_sacrifice|RetaliateDamage}} points of damage to the attacker, but grant some amount of Souls. Once the machine takes 400 damage, a looping timing window starts where a well timed heavy melee attack will dispense four Golden Statue buffs. It will dispense one buff if killed with a light melee attack.

* '''[[Soul Urn]]'''

** '''Descent:''' Begins at 12:00 and rotates to the opposite side of the map.

** '''Respawn Time:''' Every 6 minutes after 12:00.
