Prepare to defend your Alliance base during Gold Rush! A strong defense is not only about firepower — it’s about teamwork, planning, and smart positioning. Here's everything you need to know.

Defense Posts Overview

Alliance buildings now offer two types of defense posts, each with specific advantages:

🔭 Watch Post (Ranged)

  • Significant HP boost

  • Extended attack range

  • Defender cannot move

  • Only ranged weapons allowed

🗡️ Guard Post (Melee)

  • Moderate HP and speed boost

  • Can use any weapon type

  • Defender can move to chase enemies around the base

Occupying Defense Posts

  • Each Alliance member can occupy defense posts.

  • Equip your defender with weapons, armor, and food for maximum effectiveness.

  • Items equipped will be damaged during battles and cannot be retrieved, so choose gear accordingly.

  • Use Repair Kits or replace items to stay combat-ready.

  • Don’t forget provisions — hungry defenders fight poorly!

Using the Defense Overview Mode

Access Overview Mode from the Alliance Base to review and plan your defense:

  • 🔶 Defense Coverage: Bright zones indicate strong defense. Identify weak spots.

Turn On the Spotlights!

Enemies love to attack in the dark — and during night raids, defenders' visibility decreases drastically.

  • Assign someone to defend the Power Station.

  • If a night raid occurs, the defender activates the lights, illuminating the area.

  • This boosts vision for all defenders and prevents enemies from sneaking in unseen.

Analyze Attack Reports

Understanding how you were attacked is the best way to improve.

  • Watch defense replays from Alliance chat.

  • See where enemies entered, how they moved, and what equipment they used.

  • Learn from their strategy — adjust your layout, upgrade your gear, and block their paths.

  • Prevent future breaches by analyzing both their tactics and their mistakes.

📌 Bonus: These replays can also inspire your own future attack strategies.

 

Gold Rush defense isn't just about having the strongest gear — it’s about planning, teamwork, and constant improvement. With coordination and a smart setup, your Alliance can stand strong against any threat.
