- The generals charge and whirlwind, but leash if you try to move too far, just like they do in AV.
- After leashing, the generals will begin to regenerate health.
- For each keep you destroy, the generals will lose some armor.
- Each team has prison camp objectives on the opposite faction's side of the map.
- You must channel to start the prisoner escape and then maintain control until they escape. A single click will stop the escape, so enemy players must be kept away from the camps.
- After the prisoner escapes, a Cavalry will be summoned in each lane.
- The cavalry will grant increased damage and movement speed to nearby allied heroes and minions. This bonus increases with each subsequent objective completion within a game.
- The map also has two Gnoll siege camps and two Ice Giant boss camps.
- The Gnolls have a cleave attack and stacking armor debuff to damaged targets.
- The Ice Giants are similar to the Grave Golems on Cursed Hollow, but have an Ice Shard ability that will damage and slow in an area.
- There are mud pits around the objective area, which have a stacking movement speed debuff that is applied while you stand in them.
