# Dimension Drill

<figure><img src="/files/EQ8aHR54AKKTfgVBu6jA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Dimension Drill** is a competitive **PvP/GvG event** adapted for **OldschoolRO Revo**.

Teams will compete across different battle modes where teamwork, coordination, positioning, and individual performance are all important.

Unlike traditional PvP/GvG battles, each Dimension Drill mode has its own unique objective. Teams must adapt their strategy depending on the mode selected.

### 🎯 Game Modes

Dimension Drill features **four different game modes**:

| Mode                   | Main Objective                                      | Recommended Focus       |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| 🪙 **Blood and Gold**  | Collect and protect Gold Coins                      | PvP + Objective Control |
| 🛒 **Cart Contest**    | Push the Cart into the enemy base                   | Team Coordination       |
| 👹 **Shapeshift Ops**  | Transform into powerful monsters and defeat enemies | PvP + Monster Skills    |
| ⚔️ **Team Deathmatch** | Eliminate the opposing team and earn points         | Pure PvP/GvG            |

***

## 🪙 Blood and Gold

**Blood and Gold** is an objective-based PvP mode where teams compete to collect the most **Gold Coins**.

A powerful monster appears in the center of the battlefield. Attacking the monster causes it to drop Gold Coins, which players can collect.

However, collecting Coins makes you a target for the opposing team.

#### How It Works

1. The **Goblin** appears in the center of the battlefield.
2. Players attack the Goblin to make it drop Gold Coins.
3. Players collect the dropped Coins for their team.
4. Players can attack opposing players and steal their collected Coins when they are defeated.
5. The Goblin may drop additional Coins when defeated.
6. The team with the highest amount of Coins when the timer expires wins.

> ⚠️ **Don't focus only on the Goblin.**
>
> Controlling the center while protecting your Coin carriers is just as important as collecting Coins.

#### 🏆 Victory Condition

**The team with the most Gold Coins at the end of the match wins.**

Depending on the event configuration, an instant victory condition may also be applied when a team reaches the required Coin amount.

#### 💡 Strategy Tips

* Assign players to attack the Goblin.
* Protect players carrying a large amount of Coins.
* Focus enemy Coin carriers when possible.
* Don't overextend for a few additional Coins.
* Control the center of the map whenever possible.
* Coordinate attacks before engaging the opposing team.

## 🛒 Cart Contest

**Cart Contest** is an objective-based mode where both teams fight for control of a Cart.

The objective is simple:

> **Push the Cart from your side of the battlefield into the enemy base.**

The Cart can only move when your team has control of the area around it.

#### How It Works

1. The Cart starts at its designated starting position.
2. Teams fight around the Cart or inside the <mark style="color:$danger;">**RED MARK**</mark> to gain control.
3. When only your team is controlling the Cart, it begins moving toward the enemy base.
4. Having more teammates near the Cart can increase its movement speed.
5. When both teams contest the Cart, its movement stops.
6. Eliminate or push back the opposing team to regain control.
7. Continue escorting the Cart toward the enemy base.
8. The first team to successfully push the Cart into the enemy base wins.

#### ⚡ Cart Control

The Cart is the most important objective on the battlefield.

A team may have more kills but still lose the match if the opposing team makes greater progress with the Cart.

| Situation                   | Cart Status                |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Your team controls the area | 🟢 Cart advances           |
| Both teams are contesting   | 🟡 Cart stops              |
| Enemy controls the area     | 🔴 Cart advances for enemy |
| Cart reaches enemy base     | 🏆 Victory                 |

#### 💡 Strategy Tips

* Stay inside the <mark style="color:$danger;">**RED MARK**</mark> around the Cart.
* Don't chase enemies too far away from the objective.
* Assign players to protect the Cart.
* Eliminate enemies attempting to contest.
* Coordinate burst damage before pushing forward.
* Reviving and returning quickly to the Cart can be more valuable than chasing kills.

> 🎯 **Objective first, kills second.**

## 👹 Shapeshift Ops

**Shapeshift Ops** is a special PvP mode where players can transform into powerful monsters.

Players can obtain transformation orbs placed around the battlefield. After obtaining an orb, the player transforms and gains access to special monster abilities.

#### Transformation System

Transformation options may include powerful monsters such as:

* **Garm**
* **Stormy Knight**
* **Dark Lord**
* **Baphomet**

The available transformations may depend on the version and configuration of the event.

#### How It Works

1. Transformation orbs appear around the battlefield.
2. Players collect the available orbs.
3. The player transforms into the assigned monster.
4. The transformed player gains access to special abilities.
5. Use the transformation's abilities to defeat opposing players.
6. Continue fighting until the match timer expires.

#### 🏆 Victory Condition

The team with the **highest score** at the end of the match wins.

Player kills and other configured performance objectives contribute toward the team's score.

#### 👹 Example Transformation Abilities

Different transformations provide different combat abilities.

| Transformation    | Combat Style                         |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Garm**          | Area damage and Frost effects        |
| **Stormy Knight** | Mobility and AoE damage              |
| **Dark Lord**     | Summoning and area attacks           |
| **Baphomet**      | Close-range damage and burst attacks |

#### 💡 Strategy Tips

* Don't waste transformation time.
* Secure transformation orbs whenever possible.
* Coordinate transformations with your teammates.
* Use AoE skills when enemies group together.
* Protect teammates who are currently transformed.
* Avoid fighting alone when heavily outnumbered.

> 👹 **The transformation is powerful, but teamwork makes it dangerous.**

***

## ⚔️ Team Deathmatch

**Team Deathmatch** is the most straightforward Dimension Drill mode.

Two teams of **5-10 players** battle against each other with the objective of earning more points than the opposing team.

#### How It Works

1. Two teams enter the battlefield with each player having <mark style="color:$success;">**3 lives**</mark>.
2. Players fight against the opposing team.
3. Defeating an enemy awards points according to the event configuration.
4. Players may respawn depending on the configured battle rules.
5. Continue fighting until the match timer expires.
6. The team with the highest score wins.

#### 🏆 Victory Condition

**The team with the highest score at the end of the match wins.**

#### 💡 Strategy Tips

* Stay with your team.
* Avoid unnecessary solo engagements.
* Focus targets together.
* Prioritize low-HP enemies.
* Coordinate crowd control and burst damage.
* Don't sacrifice yourself for kills that don't benefit the team.
* Keep track of the score and remaining time.

> ⚔️ **Five players fighting together are stronger than five players fighting separately.**

Every mode requires a different approach.

| Mode                   | What Matters Most                    |

| 🪙 **Blood and Gold**  | Coin control and protecting carriers |
| 🛒 **Cart Contest**    | Objective control and positioning    |
| 👹 **Shapeshift Ops**  | Transformation management and PvP    |
| ⚔️ **Team Deathmatch** | Team fighting and kill efficiency    |
