Atomic Breath – Season 4’s New Warlord Skill
With Season 4’s Copper War comes a devastating offensive ability for the Warlord role: Atomic Breath. This powerful skill reshapes the battlefield by displacing bases and opening a one-hour window for high-impact attacks.
What is Atomic Breath?
Atomic Breath is an offensive-only skill available exclusively to the Warlord of the attacking alliance during the Preparation and War stages of Copper War. When activated, it unleashes three major effects:
Teleports every base within a 35×35 tile area to random map locations
Deals durability damage to all bases and structures in that zone, including Alliance Centers
Creates Contaminated Land — for 1 hour, shields cannot be activated and any base in the zone can be attacked, even on non-Saturday war days
Note: Atomic Breath does not directly kill stationed troops — it’s a disruption and zone-control skill.
Who Gets Affected?
Atomic Breath is area-based and affects everyone in range — regardless of faction or alliance.
It affects:
- Enemy bases
- Your own alliance bases
- Friendly alliance bases
- Neutral or uninvolved player bases
It does not filter targets by alliance — if a base is in the area, it gets hit.
Use with caution — friendly fire is possible!
When Can It Be Used?
Only usable by the Warlord of the attacking alliance
Available during the Preparation and War phases of Copper War
Best used right before your main offensive to destabilize enemy lines
Casting Countdown & Vulnerability
- Once you initiate Atomic Breath, a 3-minute preparation countdown begins. During this time, your Warlord base enters War Fever status and its location is broadcast in world chat—any player on the server can attack it.
- If the Warlord base is relocated (moves) or its durability drops to 0 before the countdown ends, the Atomic Breath launch is aborted and the skill immediately goes on a 72-hour cooldown.
Strategic Use Tips
To make the most of Atomic Breath:
- Target base clusters for maximum disruption and teleport scatter
Avoid friendly zones — double-check the blast area before launch
Coordinate troop deployment to strike right after the explosion
Exploit the 1-hour window of Contaminated Land to attack shielded bases on non-Saturday days
Final Note
Atomic Breath isn’t just a damage tool — it’s a powerful zone-clearing weapon that can flip the battlefield when used smartly. By scattering enemies, disabling shields, and enabling off-day attacks, it gives your alliance a key edge during Copper War.
If you’re the Warlord this season, mastering Atomic Breath’s timing and positioning could be the difference between stalling and steamrolling.
