Soulmask: Tribal Warfare & Raiding
Tribal warfare in Soulmask revolves around raid windows, base durability, and battering ram tiers. This guide focuses on the mechanics that actually decide fights: when raids are allowed, which tools damage which structures, and how to prepare defensively.
Warfare Essentials
- Raids are time-gated: Building damage is typically allowed only during PvP/raid windows.
- Rams matter: Battering rams are required to destroy most structures.
- Server rules vary: Always check your server's raid window and PvP rules.
Raid Windows (PvP Time)
Official servers list a raid window in the server name, usually shown in UTC. Outside of those hours, building damage is restricted or disabled.
- Example format:
UTC18~06(time window embedded in the server name) - Private servers: The owner may set different raid rules or disable building damage entirely.
Battering Ram Tiers
Battering rams are the primary siege tool. Higher-tier rams are required for higher-tier building materials. Always check the in-game description to confirm what a ram can damage.
| Ram Tier | Typical Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Stone Ram | Thatch/early structures | Cannot damage higher-tier wooden buildings |
| Bronze Ram | Mid-tier structures | Unlocks after early PvP progression |
| Iron Ram | High-tier structures | Stronger durability damage |
| Steel Ram | Endgame structures | Most effective vs reinforced bases |
Official PvP Server Unlock Schedule
On official PvP servers, higher-tier rams unlock as the server ages:
| Server Age | Rams Unlocked |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Wood & Stone |
| Day 3 | Bronze |
| Day 7 | Iron & Steel |
Attack Planning Checklist
- Confirm raid hours: Do not waste siege supplies outside the raid window.
- Match the ram tier: Bring the correct ram for the target material.
- Scout weak points: Look for exposed doors, thin walls, or single-layer defenses.
- Bring sustain: Food, backup rams, and repair materials keep momentum.
Defense Checklist
- Layered walls: Mix materials so attackers need multiple ram tiers.
- Air gaps: Create buffer spaces to reduce splash/ram efficiency.
- Secure storage: Keep valuables in internal rooms behind multiple layers.
- Raid window coverage: Make sure tribe members can defend during PvP hours.
Common Problems
"We cannot damage their base"
Verify you are inside the raid window and using a ram tier that matches the structure material.
"Our base is getting deleted too fast"
Increase layer depth and avoid single-wall storage rooms. Mix materials to force multiple ram tiers.
