Incursion & Machine of War Basics
Event Timing
Incursion events run for a limited time and focus on a single Machine of War (MoW).
Choosing Your Machine of War
At the start of the event, you must select one Machine of War to pursue.
- Your choice is locked for the entire event.
- You cannot switch to a different Machine of War until the next Incursion event.
- Choosing carefully is important, especially for newer accounts with limited resources.
Event Progression
Players battle through a series of stages that increase in difficulty.
Progression follows the rarity system:
- Common
- Uncommon
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
- Mythic
Higher difficulties offer greater rewards but require stronger rosters and more developed characters.
Event Rewards
Incursion events are the primary way to unlock and improve Machines of War.
Rewards include:
- Machine of War shards used to unlock or ascend your chosen Machine of War
- Badges
- Orbs
- Components
- Other faction-specific upgrade materials
What to Expect
Unlocking a Machine of War is achievable for most active players. Reaching higher ascension levels requires stronger rosters, efficient event progression, and participation across multiple Incursion cycles.
Because your Machine of War choice is locked for the event, it is worth reviewing the strengths and long-term value of each option before committing.
