Scarlet's Minions Invade!
Scarlet's Minions Invade!
Scarlet's Minions Invade! was a meta event originally added to the game as part of the Clockwork Chaos release. The invasion lasted 45 minutes and took place within a single zone chosen from a subset of the explorable areas in the game. The meta event included six sets of invaders, each spawning different types of events over three waves: (1) scarlet minions followed by the molten alliance, (2) another wave of minions followed by aetherblades, and (3) a last wave of minions followed by Scarlet herself, if time remains.

This meta event begins regularly in a random zone, chosen from this list. The zone is the same on all servers, and any overflows created within 10 minutes of the start of the meta event will also host the invasion in the same zone.

Dynamic events[edit]
- Destroy Scarlet's invading minions until her portal exhausts its energy supply (80)
- Tip: For the minion meta, progress is made by killing the creatures coming from the portals [1], thus it is beneficial to continue killing minions after an event is complete. This does not apply to the molten nor the aetherblade metas.
[Group Event] - Defeat Scarlet (80) [Group Event]
Aetherblade events[edit]
- Drive off the Aetherblade pirates (80) [Group Event]
- Defeat the Aetherblade Captain (80)
- Note: Defeating the group event of Aetherblades does not count towards decreasing the bar. After defeating a group, a captain will spawn. Focus and kill him, then skip the rest of the units that spawn infinitely until he is defeated. Ignoring the captain is a pirate farm which some groups will attempt at the risk of losing the meta event.

Molten Alliance events[edit]
- Defeat the Molten Alliance shaman (80) [Group Event]
- Destroy the Molten Alliance tunneling machine (80)
- Tip: To progress the molten alliance, you simply need a few players to snipe the drills. Others can skip. Drills can also be solo'd by the adventurous. Shamans also progress the event, and are also champions so are preferred by zergers to the machines. No other Molten Alliance kills progress the individual or meta event.

Rewards[edit]
The meta event provides an award upon defeating Scarlet Briar. Players are required to participate in at least one wave of the meta event to earn credit. The reward depends on the number of waves completed by the players before the meta event timer ends. Players may receive the reward once per zone per account per day. This means players will likely skip zones that have already occurred that day unless they wish to farm the events.
