Base Shield and PvP
How escudo bases protect you, how PvP raids work, and how to defend your black holes from other jogadores.
Visão geral
The escudo base temporarily protects your black holes and dinheiro from incoming raids, while PvP lets you launch your own holes at other jogadores' bases to steal their dinheiro. Managing both systems well is absolutely essential once you hold valuable mid and late nível holes.
Get the balance right and you will invasão profitably while keeping every single one of your hard-earned holes completely safe from retaliation.
How the Base Shield Works
The escudo base grants a window of total proteção during which other jogadores cannot invasão 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 defesa for high-value tiers like the Buraco Ômega.
You can freely toggle PvP on or off at any time you choose. Many jogadores keep PvP off while building up, then turn it on to invasão rivals - though the community has noted this can be quite frustrating for attackers.
Shield Timer Tiers
Shield duration increases steadily as you melhoria it through the various tiers. Approximate duration values are shown in the table below.
Longer shields give you safe, worry-free windows to fundir and even go offline for a while without losing any progress.
| Shield Level | Approx. Duration |
|---|---|
| Base escudo | ~10 seconds of proteção |
| Early upgrades | ~1.5 minutes |
| Mid upgrades | ~5 minutes |
| High upgrades | ~8.5 minutes |
| Max upgrades | ~12.5 minutes |
