A Crusade in Helbreath is an all out war between the two cities of Elvine and Aresden. In order to win the war you must attack the enemy town with a Metor Strike several times in order to bring down the remaining points of each of the designated buildings. The main warehouse, shop and blacksmith are all given shield generators which protect the buildings from the Metor Strike attacks. It's your duty and that of your guilds to defend your own shields and attack the shields of the enemy.

Once a Crusade begins, an Energy Shield Generator is automatically spawned outside the City Hall of either town. The purpose of a Crusade is to join your city by building up a base in the Middlelands around the Mana Stones.

There are 3 modes that you can chose from during the crusade Commander (requires you to be a Guild Master), Constructor and Soldier.

• Commanders are Guild Masters by default, Guild Masters can only be Commanders. They have the ability to spawn War units based on the amount of points that their guild has obtained. You can collect points by killing the enemy players, enemy war units and enemy base structures.
  
  
• Constructors are the only ones who are able to build a limited amount of structures for your guild You must also be a part of a guild in order to be given the option of Commander. A combination of defensive, attacking and practical structures are required to create a successful base.
  
  
• Soldiers are given bonus attack power. You can change your status from Constructor to Soldier (or back again) in the City Hall as many times as you like during the Crusade. If you have no guild, you are only able to become a Soldier.
