What is the Glory Event?
The Glory Event is one of the three main Atlas events that rotates in the A-B-A-C pattern (Glory-Troop Training-Glory-Crafting/Rider). In this event, players earn points by defeating enemy troops, which awards them with glory. Glory serves as both your event score and a crucial currency for advancing your Primarchs in Atlas.
Core Strategy: The 50% Rule
The Golden Rule: Aim to attack enemy primarchs with defense points that are half of your attack points. This strategy maximizes your glory gain while minimizing troop losses.
Why This Matters:
- Maximum Glory: Optimal glory-to-effort ratio
- Minimal Losses: Reduces costly troop casualties
- Efficiency: More attacks possible with fewer resources spent on troop replacement
- Permanent Loss Prevention: Remember, 10% of troop loss is permanent, so strategic targeting is crucial
Target Priority System
Primary Targets:
- Enemy Primarchs – Highest glory potential
- Castle Guards – Consistent glory source
- Undefended Castles – Easy glory with minimal risk
Target Selection Criteria:
- Defense Rating: Should be ~50% of your attack rating
- Troop Count: Lower troop counts mean easier victories
- Location: Accessible without major travel time
- Team Status: Avoid heavily defended alliance territories
Primarch Selection for Glory Events
Best Primarchs for Glory Hunting:
Destroyer
- Advantages: Balanced attack and defense, widely used
- Strategy: Excellent all-around choice for consistent glory farming
- Troop Efficiency: Good attack-to-troop ratio
Sieger
- Advantages: Powerful attackers, high glory potential
- Warning: Weak defense – don’t leave idle on castles as they’re vulnerable
- Strategy: Use for hit-and-run tactics, return to safe locations
Fighter
- Advantages: Balanced, cost-effective for beginners
- Limitations: Lower troop capacity limits glory potential
- Best Use: Learning event mechanics before investing in advanced Primarchs
Primarchs to Avoid for Glory Hunting:
Taunter
- Problem: Designed for defense, not offense
- Better Use: Keep these defending your territories during events
Trapper
- Problem: Weak offensive capabilities
- Better Use: Defensive operations and area control
Advanced Glory Strategies
Team Coordination
- Coordinate Attacks: Work with teammates to overwhelm enemy territories
- Share Intelligence: Communicate about high-value targets
- Defensive Support: Protect teammates’ glory-hunting Primarchs
- Territory Control: Secure safe zones for Primarch recovery
Timing and Movement
- Quick Strikes: Hit targets and move to safety quickly
- Travel Efficiency: Plan routes to minimize movement time
- Safe Harbor: Always have a safe castle to retreat to
- Resource Management: Keep troops topped off between attacks
Target Intelligence
- Scout First: Check enemy Primarch levels and troop counts
- Avoid Traps: Watch for Taunters that might force unwanted fights
- Track Movement: Monitor enemy Primarch positioning
- Opportunity Windows: Strike when enemies are distracted or weakened
Troop Management During Glory Events
Pre-Event Preparation:
- Full Hospital: Revive all troops before the event starts
- Offensive Primarchs: Load hunting Primarchs (Destroyers, Siegers) with just enough troops to hit guards or bypass high-level Taunters, but not enough to become attractive targets yourself
- Strategic Troop Management: Sometimes it’s better to die after an attack and re-summon with fewer troops – you’ll have less troop loss than being attacked by an opposing Primarch
- Taunters: Load with enough troops to effectively guard your castle guards, but balance against becoming high-value targets
- Trappers: Keep at lower troop levels – if the Trapper dies, you can summon a new one with fewer troops and trap again, which is faster than waiting for the trap cooldown
- Resource Stockpile: Have enough resources for troop replacement and re-summoning
- Strategic Positioning: Move offensive Primarchs to optimal hunting grounds, position Taunters to guard key castles
During the Event:
- Monitor Losses: Track troop casualties carefully
- Quick Replacements: Replace troops between attacks when possible
- Hospital Management: Don’t let hospitals overflow (causes permanent loss)
- Loss Calculation: Remember 10% of losses are permanent
Maximizing Event Performance
Automation and Tools
Glory Events move fast and opportunities can disappear quickly. Manual hunting can be time-consuming and inefficient, which is where automation tools become invaluable.
Mastermind Dragons Atlas Bot
The Mastermind Dragons bot offers powerful features specifically designed for Glory Event success:
Snipe Functionality:
- Automated Target Scanning: Continuously scans the Atlas map for optimal targets
- Real-Time Intelligence: Provides detailed attack and defense statistics for targets, giving you the information needed to quickly calculate 50% rule ratios yourself
- Quick Strike Capability: Rapidly identifies and attacks high-value targets before competitors
- Efficiency Maximization: Eliminates time spent manually searching the map
- Friendly Fire Prevention: Helps identify and avoid attacking allied or friendly targets during rapid engagement scenarios
NML (No Man’s Land) Alerts:
- Opportunity Notifications: Instant alerts when valuable undefended targets appear
- Timing Advantage: First notification means first opportunity to strike
Advanced Features for Glory Events:
- Route Optimization: Plans efficient attack routes to minimize travel time
- Battle Tracking: Monitors and records your Atlas battles
Why Automation Matters in Glory Events
Speed is Critical: Glory Events have limited duration, and manual target identification can waste precious time when competitors are using automated tools.
24/7 Opportunity Capture: The bot can monitor for targets even when you’re offline, ensuring you don’t miss high-value opportunities during your sleep or work hours.
Precision Targeting: Human error in calculating attack-to-defense ratios can lead to costly mistakes. Automation ensures consistent application of the 50% rule.
Competitive Advantage: If you want to maximize your time hunting for glory, consider investing in a bot such as the Atlas Mastermind. By utilizing the snipe functionality and the NML alerts, you can quickly identify the best primarchs and castles to hit.
Integration with Manual Strategy
- Enhanced Decision Making: Use bot intelligence to inform your strategic decisions
- Team Coordination: Share bot-identified targets with teammates for coordinated strikes
- Risk Management: Let automation handle routine scanning while you focus on high-level strategy
- Learning Tool: Analyze bot recommendations to improve your manual targeting skills
Resource Optimization
- Gold Management: Atlas-exclusive currency for troop training
- Time Efficiency: Focus on highest glory-per-minute targets
- Stamina Conservation: Avoid unnecessary long-distance travel
- Risk Assessment: Balance glory potential against loss risk
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Strategic Errors:
- Attacking Too High: Targeting enemies with defense > 50% of your attack
- Leaving Primarchs Exposed: Especially vulnerable Siegers
- Ignoring Taunters: Getting forced into unfavorable fights
- Poor Positioning: Being caught far from safe territory
Resource Errors:
- Hospital Overflow: Causing permanent troop loss
- Insufficient Reserves: Running out of replacement troops mid-event
- Gold Shortage: Not having enough Atlas currency for operations
- Poor Timing: Starting attacks without full troop capacity
