How to maximize your Holy Wars points

Along with the Holy Wars strategy that DannyDips is about to post, I figured it would be a good time to explain to the new/less experienced players how to maximize your points during holy wars. These are general guidelines that are recommended, unless you plan on mindlessly burning through HP like the top orders do... In that case, you don't belong in Domination.

1. The wall must be destroyed - This is the most basic premise. You earn 2x as many HW points when the wall is brought down. Attacking players while a wall is still standing is the equivalent of spending twice as much HP, not worth it.
2. Get a HW pts boost card - Another obvious one, build a HW pts card for your realm and skill it up. The new cards (High Werewolf, Chiron, Luminous Knight) have better stats and skill, but if you can't afford them then the old cards (Witch Commander, Principality, Sektor) are very serviceable and cheap.
3. Target leaders if you can - Order leaders give 1.5x HW pts, vice leaders and ATK/DEF leaders give 1.2x HW pts. Beat these players if you can, however..........................
4. Choose battles you will win - This might sound trivial, but losing a battle during HW nets you ZERO points. A win, even against the weakest player on their team, gets you something. Although stronger players will give you more points, the risk of losing is too detrimental to take a stab at higher level player. If you don't think you can beat the leaders mentioned above, choose a better target and make sure you get points.
5. Analyze the opponents - This step ties the previous 2 steps together... After the opponents wall and DEF leader are dropped, the best thing to do is look at each opponent for the other team. You need to compare 2 things: the estimated HW pts and honor points gained from this battle. Since honor points are a indirect measure of the opponents' DEF deck, the best player to attack is the one who yields the highest HW pts with the lowest honor points. It is common for some players to not build DEF decks and focus entirely on ATK... Theses players will still yield full HW pts, but will have estimated honor points of 0-1. Exploit these players, because they are bringing their team down. Have a deck setup for these type of players tat has your HW pts boost card in the first position. Top orders, since they don't have strategy other than spend HP and spam their opponents, often fall short of the maximum amount of points because they're attacking players who aren't yielding what they could.

In summary, follow these steps and you will always maximize the amount of HW points you obtain during Holy Wars. Be sure to read DannyDips post when he gets it up, it will have important strategy for how we will conduct ourselves in Holy Wars. The strategies mentioned above should not be used at all times, as we will be attacking selectively and remaining patient throughout most of Holy Wars. However, in the final hours, this stratgey is essential when we let the "dogs" loose
