Descripción general

The escudo base temporarily protects your black holes and dinero from incoming raids, while PvP lets you launch your own holes at other jugadores' bases to steal their dinero. Managing both systems well is absolutely essential once you hold valuable mid and late nivel holes.

Get the balance right and you will incursión profitably while keeping every single one of your hard-earned holes completely safe from retaliation.

Base Shield:Temporary incursión protección
Shield Timer:Seconds to minutes
PvP Toggle:On/off switch
Raid Cooldown:~1 minute

How the Base Shield Works

The escudo base grants a window of total protección during which other jugadores cannot incursión your base or destroy any of your holes. Upgrading the escudo steadily extends the timer from just a few seconds up to several full minutes.

Because raids can permanently destroy holes, the escudo is your single most important line of defensa for high-value tiers like the Agujero Omega.

You can freely toggle PvP on or off at any time you choose. Many jugadores keep PvP off while building up, then turn it on to incursión rivals - though the community has noted this can be quite frustrating for attackers.

Shield Timer Tiers

Shield duration increases steadily as you mejora it through the various tiers. Approximate duration values are shown in the table below.

Longer shields give you safe, worry-free windows to fusionar and even go sin conexión for a while without losing any progress.

Shield LevelApprox. Duration
Base escudo~10 seconds of protección
Early upgrades~1.5 minutes
Mid upgrades~5 minutes
High upgrades~8.5 minutes
Max upgrades~12.5 minutes
Even a maxed escudo expires - always pair it with best-hole protección for your top hole.

Raiding and Defending

Three core concepts that together govern all PvP combat in the entire juego.

Understanding these concepts deeply helps you incursión profitably without ever losing your own valuable holes.

Skipping any one of them quickly turns incursiones into a gamble rather than a reliable, repeatable ingresos source.

Launch Raids

Send your holes at rival bases to steal their hard-earned dinero, but always mind the strict ~1 minute enfriamiento.

Use Shields

Keep your escudo base fully active at all times to reliably block all incoming raids.

Protect Top Holes

Shield your single best hole with protección before ever going sin conexión for the night.

Destroyed holes are gone for good - never incursión without your own escudo active, or you risk retaliation.

Safe Raiding Workflow

A low-risk, repeatable routine for incursiones profitably without ever losing your own holes.

Always confirm your escudo is fully active before launching any ataque on a rival base.

End every single play session by protecting your best hole, especially if you currently hold valuable late tiers.

1

Activate Your Shield

Always ensure your escudo base is fully up and active before attempting any kind of incursión.

2

Pick a Target

Carefully launch your holes at a rival base with visibly exposed dinero or a notably weak overall defensa setup.

3

Respect the Cooldown

Patiently wait out the full enforced ~1 minute enfriamiento between each successive ataque.

4

Protect Before Leaving

Always apply best-hole protección to your top hole before going sin conexión for any length of time.

Discipline saves holes - rushing raids without defensa is the fastest way to lose progress.

PvP Tips

Quick habits for safer and consistently more profitable raids over time.

Discipline here is exactly what separates raiders who profit steadily from those who carelessly lose their best holes to retaliation.

  • Equip a Wormhole impulso to substantially increase your overall incursión daño against rival jugadores.
  • Toggle PvP off entirely while merging to avoid being raided in the middle of an active play session.
  • Save your hard-earned Estrellas for best-hole protección once you start holding valuable tiers.
  • Always confirm your escudo timer is sufficient before launching any ataque on a rival base.
  • Upgrade your escudo regularly so its protección duration keeps pace with your growing hole values.
