You are the only one that can stand in their way![/b] Celebrate Halloween this year by getting involved in the following activities: [list][*]Operations Saving Transylvania and Sunray in the Darkness. [*]The Twilight Battle temporary battle type (you may remember this from Halloween 2018!). Twilight descends upon us 2 weeks after the release of Update 0.11.9.[/list] [table][tr][th][b][url=#saving-transylvania]Saving Transylvania[/url] [url=#sunray-in-the-darkness]Sunray in the Darkness[/url] [url=#rewards]Rewards[/url][/b][/th][/tr][/table] In this article, we're going to take a closer look at the Operations. You can expect more details about the Twilight Battle to come in a separate dedicated article. Operation Saving Transylvania will be available as Operation of the Week in the first week of the update; Sunray in the Darkness—in the second week. Players will also have an opportunity to team up with their friends in a Division and fight evil throughout the entirety of Update 0.11.9! Both Operations will be available at the normal difficulty level only. [quote][i]During Update 0.11.9, the standard Operations are available only for players in Divisions. With the release of Update 0.11.10, Random Operations will become available again.[/i][/quote] [img]https://wowsp-wows-eu.wgcdn.co/dcont/fb/image/tmb/404bcfbe-43c7-11ed-b9bf-8cdcd4b147d4_1200x.jpg[/img] [i]In the game client, Operations of the Week will be displayed as Active Operations. [/i] [h2][b][h1=saving-transylvania][/h1]Saving Transylvania[/b][/h2] The main task in this Operation is to escort a ship called Transylvania on her winding route to safe harbor. On the way, you must protect her from attacking catapults and Zikasa ships possessed by the Darkness. At the end of the route, players will face the final boss—the menacing battleship Rasputin.

Your task is to hold the undead off! Security towers will help you in battle and try to seal the Portal. You need to protect the towers from enemy ships. Along with monsters, the Filth—a dense fog—is leaking through the Portal and endangering life itself. Be careful: while in the Filth, your ship takes damage each second. The amount of damage you receive depends on your ship type. Besides this, visibility and ship detectability decrease significantly in the Filth. At the same time, the Filth benefits your boss enemies—battleship Rasputin and aircraft carrier The Great Gorgon—by restoring their hit points and reducing the amount of damage they take.
