Stoneshill

Guide the Mason Order's assault on Stoneshill: The Siege of Stoneshill, from burning the village to assassinating the Agatha Duke.

Objective 1: Destroy the Village. As the Mason Order, your first task is to burn down the peasant village. Use torches found near the spawn. As Agatha, defend the village by extinguishing fires (interact with burning houses) and eliminating torch-wielding Masons. Focus fire on Masons carrying torches. Knights and Vanguards are excellent for pushing into the village, while Archers can provide cover fire. Agatha should try to hold choke points leading into the village.

Objective 2: Push the Siege Ramp. Masons must push a large siege ramp to the castle walls. Agatha must prevent this by killing Masons near the ramp. Vanguards can use their charge to clear defenders, and Knights can tank damage. Agatha should use archers on the walls to pick off Masons and Man-at-Arms to quickly flank and disrupt the push. Focus fire on Masons actively pushing the ramp.

Objective 3: Capture the Courtyard. Once the ramp is up, Masons must capture the castle courtyard. This is a control point objective. Agatha defends the courtyard. Use the elevated positions around the courtyard as Agatha to rain down arrows or flank. Masons should push in groups, using shields and heavy armor to absorb damage. Don't overextend; capture the point as a team.

Objective 4: Assassinate the Duke. The final objective for Masons is to kill the Agatha Duke, a powerful NPC. Agatha must protect him. The Duke is usually located in the keep. Masons should coordinate a push, using Vanguards and Knights to break through defenses. Agatha should form a protective perimeter around the Duke, using Man-at-Arms for quick intercepts and Knights for sustained defense. Archers can be effective from elevated positions.
