What's the difference between Shadow War and Vigil of Blades?

Shadow War and Vigil of Blades use the same 12-match, 4-tier structure (EXALTED, EMINENT, FAMED, PROUD) and identical point system. The key difference is competitive intensity—VOB clans are typically more organized and require power-efficient strategies with fine-tuned assignments. DI Planner supports both with the same planning tools, battle strategies (Balanced Power, Stacked Advantage, David vs Goliath), and Discord export features. Both events use the same proven tactical math.

How do I plan Vigil of Blades efficiently?

Start by uploading your clan roster CSV, then select one of three proven strategies based on your competitive edge. Use auto-assignment to instantly distribute 100 players across 12 tier-based matches in seconds. Fine-tune critical positions manually using drag-and-drop (desktop) or click-based flows (mobile), then lock high-value assignments to prevent accidental changes. Export to Discord or download as PNG for coordination. The entire process takes 5-10 minutes versus hours of manual planning.

What is assignment locking in VOB planning?

Assignment locking prevents specific players from being moved or reassigned accidentally during optimization. After auto-assigning your roster, you can lock your strongest players in critical EXALTED matches to preserve key matchups. Locked players remain in place when you re-run auto-assignment or make manual adjustments to other positions. This gives you the speed of automation with the precision of manual control—ideal for competitive VOB planning where every high-resonance placement matters.

Which strategy is best for competitive VOB clans?

For competitive VOB, Stacked Advantage is often optimal when evenly matched—it concentrates your top 16 into 2 EXALTED matches creating unbeatable walls, then dominates 2 EMINENT matches with depth. Use Balanced Power only if your top 24 significantly outclass opponents. David vs Goliath works when you have participation advantage (80-96 players) against stronger but less active opponents. DI Planner includes interactive strategy guides explaining the tactical math and counter-strategies for competitive decision-making.

Can I use the same roster for Shadow War and VOB?

Yes! Rosters are reusable across all plan types. Upload your clan roster once, then create multiple plans—Shadow War, Vigil of Blades, or Immortal Rite of Exile. Plans are immutable snapshots, so deleting or updating a roster doesn't break existing plans. This lets you maintain one master roster while creating separate battle plans for each event. Roster analytics (class distribution, resonance breakdown) help you understand your competitive edge before selecting strategies.

How does power-efficient planning work?

Power-efficient planning maximizes your win probability by strategically distributing resonance across tier-based matches. DI Planner's auto-assignment algorithms consider player strength, tier point values, and match capacity to optimize assignments. For example, Stacked Advantage concentrates power where it matters most (2 EXALTED + 2 EMINENT = 24 points) rather than spreading evenly. Manual fine-tuning with assignment locking lets you adjust for class balance or specific matchups while preserving overall power efficiency.

Does VOB use the same tier structure as Shadow War?

Yes, exactly. Both Shadow War and Vigil of Blades use the same tier structure: 3 EXALTED matches (8 points each), 3 EMINENT matches (4 points each), 3 FAMED matches (2 points each), and 3 PROUD matches (1 point each). The win condition is identical—reach 24 of 39 total points. This means the same strategies (Balanced Power, Stacked Advantage, David vs Goliath) work for both events, and you can use the same tactical approach for Shadow War and VOB planning.

How do I export VOB plans to Discord?

Click the Export button on your plan page, select a Discord webhook from your saved webhooks (or add a new one), and click Send. DI Planner posts a formatted embed to your Discord channel showing all tier assignments, player names, resonance totals per match, and confirmation statuses. The embed uses tier-specific formatting with EXALTED, EMINENT, FAMED, and PROUD sections. You can also download plans as high-quality PNG images with light or dark themes for sharing outside Discord.

3 Power-Efficient VOB Strategies

Choose the right strategy based on your competitive edge. Each approach is mathematically optimized to maximize your clan's win probability across 12 tier-based matches.

High individual power requirement

⚖️ Balanced Power

Win: Win 3 EXALTED = 24 points

Distribute your top 24 players evenly across all three 8-point EXALTED matches. If your elite roster is stronger than theirs, you sweep EXALTED and win instantly.

When to Use

Your top 24 outclass their top 24

Optimal power distribution

🎯 Stacked Advantage

Win: Win 2 EXALTED + 2 EMINENT = 24 points

Concentrate your top 16 into just two EXALTED matches, creating unbreakable walls. Their 8 strongest players fight air in the abandoned match while your depth crushes EMINENT.

When to Use

Evenly matched—force them to spread resources

Maximum participation leverage

🪨 David vs Goliath

Win: Win 1+2+6 matches = 25 points

Abandon 2 EXALTED matches, rendering 16+ of their strongest players irrelevant. Contest 1 EXALTED, dominate 2 EMINENT, and overwhelm all 6 lower-tier matches with superior participation.

When to Use

High participation advantage over stronger opponents
