Onsal Hakair (Danshig Naadam)

See also: Frontline

“

The Xaela of the Azim Steppe are renowned for their ferocity in battle, a traditional preoccupation that culminates once each Tsagaan Sar as the clash to earn the right to rule in the Naadam. Such infrequent conflict is insufficient to state the Steppe's most zealous warriors, however, thus the Danshig Naadam-a smaller contest to which the Grand Companies of Eorzea have now been welcomed. Join forces with the Maelstrom and the Orben people, the Adders and the Ejinn, or the Flames and the Horo in this grand demonstration of martial prowess, and may the mightiest prevail!

— In-game Description

Victory Conditions

In the Danshig Naadam, the alliance that reaches the specified Tactical Rating is declared the winner. Alliances can increase their tactical rating via two different methods:

• Defeating enemy players
• Claiming Ovoos

In the event that none of the alliances reach the specified tactical rating within the time limit, a victor is determined based on which alliance has the highest tactical rating.

Ovoos

All around the battlefield, players can find sacred sites known as "ovoos". Claiming these is key to increasing an alliance's tactical rating.

Ovoo States

During the course of the battle, ovoos will become active, and can appear in one of four states:

Inactive

While in this state, the ovoo cannot be claimed, however players can note its position for when it eventually begins activating.

Activating

A symbol will begin appearing over the ovoo, indicating its rank and how long until it is active and claimable.

Active

The ovoo has become active, and players can interact with it to increase their alliance's tactical rank. If players are attacked while claiming an ovoo, the process will be interrupted.

Claimed

Once an ovoo has been claimed, it will increase the tactical rating of the alliance that claimed it. This ovoo can not be taken by an opposing alliance. Eventually the ovoo will return to its inactive state.

Ovoo Rank

When an ovoo is activating, it will be assigned a rank: either A, B or S. S rank ovoos appear less frequently, however they greatly increase an alliance's tactical rating. The closer to the center of the battlefield the ovoo is, the more likely it will be a higher rank.

A B rank ovoo.

An A rank ovoo.

An S rank ovoo.

As the battle progresses, the number of ovoos that can be active simultaneously will decrease, however, the likelihood that the ovoo will be a higher rank vastly increases.

Rewards

At the end of the match, players are given PvP EXP, PvE EXP, Wolf Marks and Allagan Tomestones based on how their team fared.
