Securing the shield banner can make a huge difference since it allows the ram or gates to take an extra hit, but no one ever pays attention to it. It’s honestly not that hard to keep track of... just keep an eye on the match timer, and know how to count. Unless you’re in the middle of a fight, drop what you’re doing and go get it!
The banner spawns 3 minutes into the match (i.e. the 26:59 mark), and it will respawn 5 or so minutes after it’s been planted. In the second phase, it will spawn 3 minutes after the first gate is destroyed, and again 5 or so minutes after it’s been planted. And if you see a teammate carrying it (which it’s hard to miss since they’re highlighted), PROTECT THEM!!! Also if there’s a movement speed buff present DON’T take it! Save it for whoever is going to carry the banner, since they’re slowed when carrying it.
FYI: The Guardian can spawn 2:30min after the fall of the Outer Gate, so 30 seconds earlier than the banner itself (3 minute rule for first spawn).Originally Posted by Night_Fury147 Go to original post
The shield banner spawns at 27:00 first phase, then after planting every 4 minutes. So basically at 22:00-23:00 if you are quick, around 17:00-18:00 usually if there was some delay, but by then in most cases the outer gate has fallen.
BTW: what I like to do and would encourage everyone to do is to use ingame team chat to point out that the banner is spawning approximately 40 seconds before it spawns but also mark it on the map for everyone by using the quickchat options. Those can be also utilized to mark other goals of the map for a better team coordination.

I use the team chat as well. The problem is that not everyone pays attention to it, even though it gives them markers. Also it may just be me, but the font size of the actual message that appears is too small, so it's kind of hard to read.Originally Posted by Klingentaenz3r Go to original post
