Guild

When you reach Stage 10, you can join a Guild.

Being in the Guild has several benefits:


 * Ability to socialize with guild mates using Guild Chat.
 * Earn additional Gems by participating in Guild Boss Fight.
 * Have more power in Main Battle with Guild Attack and Defense Buff.
 * Exchange and improve your Sidekick in Guild Shop.
 * Earn additional rewards by completing two Daily Quests - "Attack Guild Boss" and "Donate Sidekick to Guild".

HOW TO JOIN A GUILD
To enter or join a Guild, we use Guild button at the middle top of main Battle screen. If you are already in the Guild, it will take you to your Guild Screen right away. If not, you will have a choice to:


 * Select a Guild from the list,
 * Enter Guild ID, If you have an invitation and you know it, or
 * Create a Guild.

Do not Create a new Guild unless you already have several friends that will join your guild from the beginning or you are a lone player and want to go slow but on your own.

The most important thing in Guild Selection is its activity. There is a lot of dead guilds with members that are offline for long time. You need an active one. We put a short list of Active Guilds on the separate page - maybe, you would like to chose one from there.



The stronger your Guild is, the bigger will be Attack and Defense Buff. and gems reward from Guild Boss. It will greatly boost your progress. On the other hand, you most likely will not be able to get Sidekicks from Guild Shop for a long time: they all will be too strong and expensive for you.

There is no restriction on joining and leaving Guilds in Merge Quest. You can join and leave several guilds until you find the one that you will be comfortable in. Also, if you join a strong Guild, it will be OK time to time to leave and go look for good Sidekicks in other Guilds.

GUILD BOSS
Guild Boss Fight is the most important task in the Guild. Every time the Boss is killed, the Guild makes one Level up.

Main Guild benefits - Gems and Buff - depend on Guild Level. See MATH section below for details about numbers growth.

Guild Boss Fight timing is little tricky. At any point of time, Guild Boss can be in one of 3 States:


 * 1) Boss Fight State: it starts after Cool Down ends  and someone enter the Guild.  Lasts for 2 hours.
 * 2) Cool Down State: it starts when either Boss is killed or Boss Fight Time expired and ends in 6 hours from last  Boss Fight Start .
 * 3) Idle State: when Cool Down ended but no one enter the Guild. It can continue indefinitely.

Gems for each Boss Kill are rewarded only to Fight participants. Reward schedule is shown in the game, no need to copy it here.

Every Guild member can attack each Guild Boss 3 times: 2 times one hour apart, and one time spending 10 Gems for additional fight.

Guild Boss Fight is also a Daily Task and will bring you your 10 gems back, so it's strongly recommended to complete all 3 fights every time you participate, unless you're so strong that you need to yield to lower Guild members to let them place a hit and get their Gems.

GUILD BUILDING
The second task for each Guild Member is to  Sign-in Daily . Each Member's Sign-in adds 1 point to Guild bank, each Knight - 2 points, Leader and Deputy - 3 points each.

There are 3 Buildings in the Guild that can be upgraded using points from members' daily sign-in. Only Guild Officials (Leader, Deputy and Knights) can spend Sign-in points on Buildings upgrade.

All 3 Guild Buildings have a cap of 16 levels.

Fort cannot be upgraded to a Level higher than current Guild Hall Level.

GUILD SHOP
Each Guild has a Shop where members can "Donate" up to 10 Sidekicks every day and get Sidekick Tokens for that. Amount of tokens earned is shown in the top right corner of the Shop screen. When you Donate a Sidekick, you get the same amount of Tokens as when you buy this Sidekick from the Shop.

Total Guild Shop capacity is 50 Sidekicks. When the shop is full, weaker Sidekicks automatically disappear when stronger ones are donated.

To save good Sidekicks for members with lower Stage, up to 20 Sidekicks can be "Locked", that means they will not go away upon stronger Sidekick donation. Locked Sidekicks are available for recruiting by members who has enough Tokens to do so. Sidekicks that you can recruit will have green [Recruit] button.

What Sidekick to recruit? See Sidekicks page for Sidekicks Skills explanation.

OTHER FEATURES
Invite button allows members to invite people to the Guild from their Contact list.

Leaderboard button shows the list of Top 50 Guilds on the Server.

LEADERSHIP
There are 4 types of Guild members:


 * 1) Member (Limit: Guild Max Members)
 * 2) Knight (Limit: 3) - can manage (remove/create/lock/unlock) Sidekicks and spend Sign-in points on Guild Buildings.
 * 3) Deputy (Limit: 1) - same as knight plus can Kick Members (not Knights or Leader).
 * 4) Guild Leader - can do all of the above plus Assign/Remove Knight and Deputy Status and manage Guild Settings:


 * Change Guild Name,
 * Edit Guild Message,
 * Chose Guild Emblem,
 * Increase / Decrease Entry Stage Requirement, and
 * Turn Secret Status of the Guild ON/OFF. Secret Status means that the Guild will not appear on Guild list (but it still will be visible on Guild Leaderboard). To join Secret Guild, you must know its Guild ID.

THE MATH
Guild Attack and Defense Buff at Guild Level L: "Buff = FLOOR ( 100% × ( L + 1.03L - 1 ) )"Guild Boss HP at Guild Level L: "HP = FLOOR ( 1000 × ( 10 + 40 × L + 1.02(L-1) ) )" Good news : Guild Buff is growing faster (power of 1.03) than Boss HP (power of 1.02). At some point it will become bigger, and after that members' power with each Guild Level will grow more than Boss HP!

 Bad news : it will happen at Guild level 709. With 75% Guild Boss Fight bonus from Guild Fort (grey line on the chart) - at level 655.
