To maximize score and participation credit during Alliance War in Eternal Sword Pact, engage Elite 3 first, deal at least 5% damage to Elite 2 and Elite 1, and return to defeat Elite 3. Once Elite 3 falls, immediately rotate to the remaining Elite boss with the lowest remaining health percentage.
Step-by-Step Elite Boss Rotation
Securing full rewards requires hitting the minimum damage threshold on every Elite before any of them die. The standard four-step rotation ensures you qualify for credit across all targets while capitalizing on bot behavior.
| Step | Target | Required Action | Objective |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Elite 3 | Meet at spawn and open combat | Establish initial engagement |
| 2 | Elite 2 & Elite 1 | Deal 5% damage to each boss | Secure kill participation credit |
| 3 | Elite 3 | Return and finish off remaining health | Secure the first Elite elimination |
| 4 | Next Lowest % Elite | Target the boss with lowest health bar | Eliminate the next closest target quickly |
1. Open on Elite 3
Navigate to Elite 3 as soon as the match opens. Land your initial skill rotation to begin chipping down its health pool.
2. Tag Elite 2 and Elite 1 for 5% Damage
Disengage from Elite 3 and rotate directly to Elite 2. Attack until you deal at least 5% of its total health pool, then move immediately to Elite 1 and inflict 5% damage there as well. Hitting this 5% threshold registers your participation, ensuring you receive kill credit and associated points even if another group defeats those bosses while you are elsewhere.
3. Return to Eliminate Elite 3
Once both Elite 2 and Elite 1 are tagged, return to Elite 3. Focus down its remaining health to secure the first full Elite kill for your side.
4. Collapse on the Lowest Percentage Boss
After Elite 3 dies, inspect the remaining health bars of Elite 1 and Elite 2. Do not default to the closest objective. Instead, move directly to whichever Elite has the lower percentage of health remaining and focus it down.
Managing Bot Spread
In Alliance War matches featuring AI bots, automated units do not concentrate fire on a single target. Instead, bots spread out across Elite 1, Elite 2, and Elite 3 simultaneously.
This behavior steadily chips away at all three bosses over time. By applying 5% damage to every Elite early, you guarantee participation on the passive damage the bots inflict across the map. Returning to finish the lowest-health Elite concentrates player burst damage where it secures the fastest possible kill.
Common Execution Errors
- Overcommitting during the tagging phase: Do not stay at Elite 2 or Elite 1 beyond the 5% threshold during step 2. Lingering wastes time and risks losing Elite 3 before you return.
- Targeting by distance instead of health percentage: After Elite 3 falls, always check health percentages before moving. Chasing the closest boss rather than the lowest-percentage boss slows down your team's objective clear rate.

The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Eternal Sword Pact articles next.
