Mastering Vale of Spirits: Alliance Strategy, Warfare, and Logistics

The Vale of Spirits event is one of the most intense short-term formats in Fate War. Designed as a fast-paced Kingdom vs Kingdom battleground, it forces alliances to execute complex strategies not only on the battlefield, but also in logistics, diplomacy, and resource management.

Victory in Vale of Spirits is not about raw power alone. It is about control of territory, supply lines, and tempo.

Here is how top alliances shape the event.

Alliance Strategy and Territorial Control

Diplomacy and NAP agreements

Before the fighting even begins, diplomacy sets the stage. Alliances often establish Non-Aggression Pacts with neighboring teams to secure their starting zones. This allows members to farm safely while coordinating with allies to isolate common enemies and lock them into their core territories.

Terrain cutting

One of the most decisive tactics in Vale of Spirits is cutting territory lines. By destroying enemy flag chains, alliances can disconnect opponents from their main bases. Once cut off, those players become off-territory, leaving them exposed to direct attacks, plundering, and sieges with no safe retreat.

Pass and bastion control

To advance into higher-level zones and unlock better rewards, alliances focus on capturing passes and bastions. These strategic points act as both defensive buffers and mobility hubs, giving the alliance faster map control and stronger positioning across the battlefield.

How Open-Field Warfare Takes Shape

Area control and reinforcement denial

Dominating the open field is critical. A strong field presence prevents enemies from reinforcing besieged bastions or flags. Skilled alliances intercept enemy reinforcements mid-march, destroying them before they can influence the fight.

Tactical movement: City hopping

To avoid being pinned down, players use city hopping, teleporting between allied cities and resource points. This allows for rapid repositioning, surprise attacks, and safe disengagement from dangerous zones.

The murder ball

One of the most feared tactics in Vale of Spirits is the murder ball. Large groups of players move as a single unit and strike the same target simultaneously. This concentrated burst wipes enemy troops in seconds and establishes instant battlefield dominance.

Smart target selection

Experienced alliances avoid bad trades. Sending T4 troops alone against T5 or T6 units in open field usually leads to negative value. Instead, alliances apply guerrilla tactics, raiding gatherers and supply lines to drain the enemy’s economy and morale.

Resource Management and Logistics

Plundering for economic warfare

Unlike Tribal Showdown, Vale of Spirits allows plundering when enemy cities are besieged. This turns every successful siege into both a military and economic victory, weakening the enemy while strengthening your own alliance.

Hospital and healing strategy

During the event, bonuses such as Infirmary Daily Medicine and Valkyrie Flask production increase healing capacity. But smart alliances do not heal everything blindly. Instead, they prioritize only the troop types currently needed in battle, for example focusing on Berserkers or Axethrowers, conserving resources for sustained warfare.

Building materials and expansion

For smaller alliances especially, managing construction materials like veil stones becomes a real limitation. Coordinated donations during flag construction are essential. When every member contributes, territorial expansion becomes faster, and speed wins wars.

The Strategic Core of Vale of Spirits

At its heart, Vale of Spirits is not just a battle of armies. It is a war of supply lines, pressure, and exhaustion.

The winning formula looks like this:

• Cut enemy logistics.
• Plunder their resources.
• Dominate the open field.
• Force them into hospitals instead of back onto the battlefield.

Over time, the enemy stops fighting because they cannot afford to.

Final Analogy: A Game of Siege Chess

Vale of Spirits plays out like a strategic siege on a chessboard.

You block your opponent’s paths. You strip away their pieces, not just their troops, but their resources. You surround them, not with walls, but with pressure.

And when they finally fall, it is not because of one massive battle, it is because every move they had was taken away.

That is the true victory condition of Vale of Spirits.
