The goal of this fast-paced, battle royale-like game mode is to survive and beat all other players.

With an average play-time of 20 minutes, it's the perfect place for some quick action-heavy PvP battles.",[7,17,26,31],{"subtitle":8,"dynamicContents":9},"Beginners Guide",[10,13,15],{"type":11,"content":12},"text","Once a new world of dominion is ready, players have time to join and look around before the game starts. Use this time to find islands with fields that have big {{ field buffs # article\u002Ffields\u002Ffield-buffs }} or lots of artifacts. When the game starts, you need to be quick. Claim fields on your starter island as soon as you can. You can choose different ways to move forward from your starter island: either go through the portal and attack another island right away or take all the fields on your island first and then choose which island to attack next. Remember, you only have 10 minutes before your starter island goes away. Make sure you have a strong position on the inner islands and move all your units off the starter island before time runs out.",{"type":11,"content":14},"Good timing is very important to win. Keep an eye on the island and siege timers (learn more about sieges{{ here # article\u002Fdominion\u002Fisland-siege }}).

If you're attacking, you might not be able to take over every field, so focus on controlling more than half of them and get ready for the enemy's comeback. If you're defending, you can use all your units to protect the portal or defend certain fields, especially those close to the portal, with {{ field buffs # article\u002Ffields\u002Ffield-buffs }}.
