King of the hill

In King of the hill, also called altar battles matches two or three teams fight for control of the hill (usually referred to as the altar). The altar is a circular shrine at the center of the map. The winning objective is to hold the altar and score more points than your opponents.

To capture the altar, lead the Ghostly Hero there. He will use a skill called Claim Resource to capture the altar. The altar cannot be captured while an enemy Ghostly Hero that holds it is still alive. To gain a point, you must hold the altar for 30 seconds. Every thirty seconds you hold the altar, you will gain another point.

Common tactics

 * Snare enemy Ghostly Heroes to slow their approach to the altar allowing you to arrive first.
 * Bring Song of Concentration and Aura of Stability to allow your Ghost to use Claim Resource without being in danger of interruption or knock down.
 * In a match where there are only two teams, capture the altar, kill your enemy's Ghost and rush to their base to kill the Ghost again when he resurrects. Don't worry about abandoning your Ghost because you will keep scoring if you keep their Ghost snared or dead.
