Overview

Warbands are elemental-themed unique packs of monsters that appear in the Warbands league.

Tiers

Warbands Map Graph

Warbands are sparated into 4 tiers. The tier of a zone determines what kind of monsters can spawn. Tier 4 allows for the toughest warbands (the bosses) while Tier 1 only spawns the weakest.

The current tier of the zone can be found with two methods:

• it will be shown with small dots next to circle of the map (2 pairs of 1 dot for Tier 1, 2 pairs of 2 dots for Tier 2 and so on).
• there will be a message on the map modifiers such as ("Captured by the Binerot"); see the faction section below for details

Tier	Restrictions
1	Level 2+ Zones (Zones may have two dots, but it doesn't seem like Tier 2 units will spawn)
2	Level 10+ Zones
3	Level 41+ Zones (Cruel+)
4	Level 56+ Zones (Merciless)

In addition to those restrictions, zone level will also affect the number of potential warbands can spawn from each tier. At lower levels you'll only see 2 warbands, where as on 68+ zones up to 6 warbands can spawn in total. Chaos Renegades, the fourth Warband faction, are hostile to both other Warbands and to exiles. They can only spawn in tier 4 map areas.

The tier will be determined by the number of warband kills in a zone; every 10 minutes (60 minutes for maps) the zones with the most warband kills will have their warbands removed, while new warbands will appear elsewhere in world increasing the strength of warbands in adjecent zones. Warbands will follow the regular world layout, for maps they follow a layout similar to the map upgrade path (see the graph).

Factions

Warbands are separated into 4 faction each based on a type of damage.

Element	Faction
Fire	Redblade
Cold	Mutewind
Lightning	Brinerot
Chaos	Renegades

The faction of the enemies can generally be found out using the following techniques:

• looking at the map; the map icons will have appopinately themed icons (i.e. lightning, fire, ice)
• the mod in the upper right corner

Depending on the tier, the message on the upper right corner will change:

Tier	Faction	Message
1	Redblade	Redblade Scouts
2	Redblade	Redblade Raiders
3	Redblade	Redblade Fanatics
4	Redblade	Conquered by the Redblade
1	Mutewind	Mutewind Trackers
2	Mutewind	Mutewind Hunters
3	Mutewind	Mutewind Purifiers
4	Mutewind	Cleansed by the Mutewind
1	Brinerot	Brinerot Lookouts
2	Brinerot	Brinerot Pillagers
3	Brinerot	Brinerot Buccaneers
4	Brinerot	Captured by the Brinerot

Version History

Версия	Изменения
2.0.1	Introduced the Chaos Warband Renegades. Added three new Unique Items and some new weapon mods that can drop from the new Warband Renegades. Warbands no longer leave footprints behind them.
2.0.0f	Fixed a bug where Warbands in Maps were using location information from Merciless instead of the correct Map information.
2.0.0g	There are now more fourth-tier Warbands throughout Merciless and Maps. Increased the experience gained and the amount of items dropped by Warbands Grunts by 60% and Warbands Elites by 50%. Warbands in Maps now change every hour rather than every half-hour, giving more opportunity to kill good ones. The Chaos Leaders will rise up against the Warbands in content update 2.0.1.
