Gambit, hosted by the Drifter, is a unique hybrid mode that blends PvE combat with PvP invasion mechanics. Two teams of four Guardians race to defeat enemies, collect Motes, and summon a Primeval boss. Opposing Guardians can invade each other's arenas to disrupt progress.
How to Play:
- Defeat Enemies & Collect Motes: Kill enemies to drop Motes. Collect them and deposit them into your team's bank.
- Send Blockers: Depositing 5, 10, or 15 Motes sends a small, medium, or large Blocker to the enemy team's bank, draining their Motes.
- Invade: After depositing 25 Motes, a portal opens, allowing one Guardian to invade the enemy team's arena for 30 seconds. Invaders can kill enemy Guardians to heal their Primeval or delay Mote collection.
- Summon & Defeat Primeval: Once your team deposits 75 Motes, a Primeval boss spawns. Defeat it to win.
Strategy:
- Teamwork: Coordinate Mote collection and invasions.
- Mote Management: Don't lose Motes by dying. Deposit regularly.
- Invasion Awareness: Listen for invasion warnings and locate the invader quickly.
- Primeval DPS: Focus fire on the Primeval and its envoys. Killing envoys grants a damage buff.
