Temple Of Kotmogu

1.

For this quiz, answer from the viewpoint of being Horde. Which of the following generates the most victory points over 10 seconds?

A.

Hold 2 orbs in the middle
B.

Hold 3 orbs in the upper section (just outside of mid)
C.

Hold 4 orbs outside of the temple (courtyard)
D.

Kill 3 enemy players

Correct Answer
D. Kill 3 enemy players

Explanation
2 orbs in the middle: 24 (6 points per orb x 2 orbs x two 5-second intervals) 3 orbs in upper section: 24 (4 points per orb) 4 orbs in the courtyard: 24 (3 points per orb) Kill 3 enemy players: 30 (10 points per player, whether they carry orb or not) This is why many top teams use a 0 or 1 orb strategy. They simply stay as a group and kill enemy players. They pick up orbs when it's convenient. You may see this on an opening strategy where they don't even bother to pick up the initial orbs.

4.

As horde, at which graveyards do you resurrect?

A.

The closest one to where you died.
B.

Randomly at any of the four.
C.

Either blue or green.
D.

Either orange or purple.

Correct Answer
C. Either blue or green.

Explanation
This is why you try to move orbs back to your graveyard side. If you "solo" grab the purple orb, start moving to green. Your team should meet you there. If you "solo" grab the orange orb, start moving to blue. The exception occurs when your group controls a spawn point and you can get there safely.

You're alone and in a close race against three enemy players to pick up an orb. Choose your best option.

A.

Slow or CC them in order to pick up the orb first.
B.

Let them pick up the orb and then kill them.
C.

Run back to your team.
D.

Try to kill their healer, if present.

Correct Answer
C. Run back to your team.

Explanation
If you pick up the orb, they will kill you quickly and get 10 points, then pick up the orb and start getting points. Almost the same problem if you try to kill the orb carrier or healer. Get back to your team and help kill the enemy.

You just picked up the orange orb and most of your team happens to be at green. Where do you go? Assume you're not in immediate danger.

A.

Drop down to middle to get more victory points.
B.

Stay at blue.
C.

Cross middle to get to your team.
D.

Run towards blue, then move to green.

Correct Answer
D. Run towards blue, then move to green.

Explanation
Whenever you hold an orb, you should try to get to your team as long as you don't risk getting attacked. Crossing mid usually makes it easier for the enemy to reach you.

You're holding an orb with no other teammates around and see an enemy DPS heading your way. Choose the best option.

A.

Out duel the enemy.
B.

Run away, even if that means going into the courtyard.
C.

Drop into the middle to get as many points as possible before you die.
D.

Stay at the spawn point and call out that you're dropping the orb.

Correct Answer
B. Run away, even if that means going into the courtyard.

Explanation
Staying alive as long as possible and moving as far away as possible from the spawn becomes your objective. Don't expect to have your team group scatter to try and help. That weakens their position. That's why the last answer would be incorrect.

Your team holds three orbs (not orange orb) near the green orb in the upper area. Choose the two best options.

A.

Drop into middle for more victory points.
B.

Move as a group away from the enemy team.
C.

Move as a group and take orange.
D.

Stay at green and defend.

Correct Answer(s)
B. Move as a group away from the enemy team.
D. Stay at green and defend.

Explanation
Your team objective at this point involves defending your orb carriers and killing as many enemy players as possible. Choice #1: Run away from the enemy. That requires your team to slow the enemy with roots, slows, and other crowd controls. Choice #2: Moving to an orb spawn (e.g., green in this case, on your graveyard side puts your team forces the enemies you kill to have a further run back into the fight. You will get back into the fight sooner and be able to maintain superior numbers ("split rez").

You're holding the green orb and your damage taken debuff exceeds 200%. You're with your group at the green spawn point and winning the team fight. You've informed your team you're being attacked. Choose all of the best options.

A.

Get back into the corner that creates a LOS obstacle for most of their casters.
B.

Tell your healer to stop healing you.
C.

Run into the middle.
D.

Run outside.

Correct Answer(s)
A. Get back into the corner that creates a LOS obstacle for most of their casters.
B. Tell your healer to stop healing you.

Explanation
Make sure your healers know not to waste their mana trying to heal you. It's better spent keeping others alive. Don't try to run out of the group if you're in a team fight. They likely will kill you faster than if you just try to LOS them and gain a few more victory points.

D.

Send a team to orange orb to defend.

Correct Answer(s)
B. Healer leaves you to rejoin group.
C. Die there and get back into the team fight.

Explanation
You're going to die, so don't expect the team to move into enemy territory and split up the team fight.
