Cursed ruins



The cursed ruins are a new building added to your main base in April 2020. It does not have to be separately constructed, but becomes active once your barracks reaches level 10. In this building, you are assigned special tasks to gain various occult resources, which you can use to upgrade the building. Once the building reaches level 5, you can start using a new special unit: Dandar "The Stalker of Zaurus". For more details, see the official Telegraph post.

The gallery below shows the cursed ruins at all different levels.

Tasks
The first part of the cursed ruins is the tasks menu. This offers various tasks that you can do to gain new resources: souls, empty soul spheres , and filled soul spheres.

Tasks require you to kill a certain number of units. When the cursed ruins were first released, only units in PvP battles counted, but this was soon changed to kills in any game modes. Completed tasks will refresh every day, but uncompleted tasks will remain until completed. Note that the tasks are not always correctly labeled (as shown in the screenshot); in particular, since heavy machinery is not available in PvP and almost never appears as an enemy unit in PvE, these tasks are always actually something else.

Production
The occult operations require two additional resources: obelisk shards and weird obelisk shards. These cannot be obtained directly from completing tasks, but must be produced within the building. Soul spheres of both types can also be produced. The costs are as follows:

Building upgrades
These materials can be used to upgrade the building as follows.

Dandar
Once the building reaches level 5, a new unit is unlocked: Dandar "The Stalker of Zaurus". This is a special unit who is never consumed, but stays in your army forever. This also opens a new tab in the building, "Awakened", where you can view his status and train him in a manner similar to other units. For full details, see the unit page.
