Base Schild and PvP
How Basis-Schilds protect you, how PvP raids work, and how to defend your black holes from other Spieler.
Übersicht
The Basis-Schild temporarily protects your black holes and Geld from incoming raids, while PvP lets you launch your own holes at other Spieler' bases to steal their Geld. Managing both systems well is absolutely essential once you hold valuable mid and late Stufe holes.
Get the balance right and you will Überfall profitably while keeping every single one of your hard-earned holes completely safe from retaliation.
How the Base Schild Works
The Basis-Schild grants a window of total Schutz during which other Spieler cannot Überfall your Basis or destroy any of your holes. Upgrading the Schild steadily extends the timer from just a few seconds up to several full minutes.
Because raids can permanently destroy holes, the Schild is your single most important line of Verteidigung for high-value tiers like the Omega-Loch.
You can freely toggle PvP on or off at any time you choose. Many Spieler keep PvP off while building up, then turn it on to Überfall rivals - though the community has noted this can be quite frustrating for attackers.
Schild Timer Tiers
Schild duration increases steadily as you Verbesserung it through the various tiers. Approximate duration values are shown in the table below.
Longer shields give you safe, worry-free windows to verschmelzen and even go offline for a while without losing any progress.
| Schild Level | Approx. Duration |
|---|---|
| Base Schild | ~10 seconds of Schutz |
| Early upgrades | ~1.5 minutes |
| Mid upgrades | ~5 minutes |
| High upgrades | ~8.5 minutes |
| Max upgrades | ~12.5 minutes |
Raiding and Defending
Three core concepts that together govern all PvP combat in the entire Spiel.
Understanding these concepts deeply helps you Überfall profitably without ever losing your own valuable holes.
Skipping any one of them quickly turns Überfälle into a gamble rather than a reliable, repeatable Einkommen source.
Launch Raids
Send your holes at rival bases to steal their hard-earned Geld, but always mind the strict ~1 minute Abklingzeit.
Use Shields
Keep your Basis-Schild fully active at all times to reliably block all incoming raids.
Protect Top Holes
Schild your single best hole with Schutz before ever going offline for the night.
Safe Raiding Workflow
A low-risk, repeatable routine for Überfälle profitably without ever losing your own holes.
Always confirm your Schild is fully active before launching any Angriff on a rival Basis.
End every single play session by protecting your best hole, especially if you currently hold valuable late tiers.
Activate Your Schild
Always ensure your Basis-Schild is fully up and active before attempting any kind of Überfall.
Pick a Target
Carefully launch your holes at a rival Basis with visibly exposed Geld or a notably weak overall Verteidigung setup.
Respect the Cooldown
Patiently wait out the full enforced ~1 minute Abklingzeit between each successive Angriff.
Protect Before Leaving
Always apply best-hole Schutz to your top hole before going offline for any length of time.
PvP Tipps
