Back Door

Because multiple map chains exist, it is possible for an 'attacking' nation to travel towards the enemy home city along one route, then back towards the center along the other route on the way to their objective.  When these attackers arrive in the target map, they enter from the side closer to the 'defending' nation's home city, usually where the defending nation is not expecting them.  Thus, it is sometimes called 'going in through the back door'.

COH

Call of Hero Big Boom

The Mgear in the form will "Call of Hero" the bgear at the spot where the Big Boom have to be placed. The Bgear can be in any other map of the game, while getting the "Call of Hero" request the Bgear have to start Big Boom and accept the "Call of Hero". The Bgear will spawn on the place where the Mgear clicked on the Bgear his name to "Call of Hero" him.

This trick is hard to counter as the defending group. Mgears do not have the time to use "Purify" on the Big Boom to cancel it. With normal Big Booms Bgears have to fly to the camp, in that time he will be spotted by the other nation. This makes it alot more riskfull, Mgears can use purify on u.

Be aware that there is a delay between the "Call of Hero" send and the request for the Bgear. The Mgear have to stay alive long enough to do this. Compare the Call of Hero Big Boom with the Drag Big Boom and u will see 2 different options. Drag Big Boom is easier and safer to use, but the camp of the other nation have to be in range of the gate. A lvl 1 Big Boom has only a 800 radius. The Call Of Hero Big Boom can be placed directly into the camp.
