88 How the Battle Works
99  
1010 Strongholds in the defending territory are split into three groups, and one group opens at random for each battle. Each group held five strongholds at launch and has held four since September 9, 2026.A stronghold falls when all three Monoliths in and around it are destroyed. At launch the attackers won by taking three of the five and the defenders by holding the majority until time ran out; since September 9, 2026 the attackers need three of the four.After the preparation window a dedicated PvP state switches on, so participants can only fight each other. Field guards can still attack participants, and players can choose to show every participant with a unified nameplate and appearance.The attacking side gets its own Kisk. Anyone can register at it regardless of party or force, and it holds more players than a Legion Kisk.Contribution comes from destroying Monoliths, killing stronghold guards and killing enemy players. Rewards are paid by contribution ranking per class, to players above a minimum contribution.Kills in the battle do not count toward field achievements or Rift kill missions; the mode has its own season missions.

19+The official guidebook's Spacetime Rift page, updated September 23, 2026, describes the mode with the September 9 and 23 changes in place: a 15-minute battle, flight time consumed halved, movement outside the battle area restricted, and the battlefield buff (전장의 권능; no official English name yet) applied while taking part. It still gives the launch population of 60 to 200 per side, which the temporary maintenance of September 4, 2026 had changed to 25 to 500, and says players can join during the 15 minutes the portal stays open, where the launch note said ten minutes. It also lists where the dedicated Kisk is sold: from general goods merchants and the Wind Breeze Merchants shop.
