BATTLEFIELD STRUCTURE & OBJECTIVE

The Land of Dawn is a symmetrical 5v5 battlefield divided by a central river. Two teams of five heroes spawn at opposing base sanctuaries (Blue vs. Red). The primary win condition is destroying the enemy Sanctuary Base Nexus Core by pushing through defensive turret lines.

3-LANE STRATEGIC DISTRIBUTION

The map features Gold Lane (marksmen scaling), EXP Lane (solo fighter level-4 power spikes), and Mid Lane (mage rotation hub). Outer Turrets feature protective Gold Shields during the first 5 minutes of the match.

JUNGLE ECOSYSTEM & RIVER PITS

4 jungle quadrants house Blue Buff (Mana/CD) & Red Buff (True Damage/Slow). The central river channel connects all lanes, hosting the speed current, Lithowanderer, and objective pits for the Sanctuary Turtle (02:00 mark) and Evolved Lord (08:00+ marks).

It spawns Gold Siege Minions that yield 35% extra gold upon last hits, enabling marksmen to reach core item spikes rapidly. Outer Turrets feature Gold Shield plates during the first 5 minutes, granting bonus gold per plate destroyed.
