"Victory or Death!" used to affect everyone on the map. It was used by guild [[NPC]]s in guild matches when a match lasts longer than 18 minutes. Guild Battle NPCs march out of the Guild Hall in three waves; the first wave arrives at the flag stand at 18:45, the second wave arrives at the flag stand at 19:00, and third wave (Bodyguards and Knights) arrive at the flag stand at 19:15. If the battle lasts 20 minutes the Guild Lords will also move towards the center and use this skill. This skill is designed to end the battle quickly while not biasing the match toward either team.
