Claim
1. Claim the hex
Take the territory on the map so the hex is yours. Recontest only matters after a claim exists for rivals to challenge.
Recontest · growth_recontest_20261002
Rivals return. Hold the hex. Keep the claim — or lose the territory.
CLASHROIDS recontest is the hold beat after you plant guns: rivals return to a claimed hex, you hold with planted guns and fleet pressure, keep the claim or lose the territory. Free in the browser. Steam Coming Soon (app 4296990) — wishlist toward 10K+.
The recontest loop
Plant
2. Plant turrets
Bank scrap, plant guns on the claimed hex. Defense tools set the stage — recontest is what happens when someone tests them.
Pressure
3. Rivals recontest
Fleets return to push the claim. Planted guns and fleet pressure meet the challenge — this is the hold beat, not the plant step.
Hold
4. Keep or lose
Hold and the territory stays yours. Lose the recontest and the hex flips. Claims are temporary until you prove them under fire.
Why recontest sticks
- » Claim hex → plant turrets → rivals recontest → hold or lose.
- Distinct from turrets (plant guns / defense tools — that pitch ends with “hold recontest”; this page is that hold beat), territory map hex, game-mode framing domination, full economy scrap (smash→bank→hex→turrets), squad lobby fleet, hit-and-run raid, and arena PvP arena — recontest is rivals returning to a claimed hex so you hold or lose the territory.
- No invented keybinds, tech-node names, Lab steps, or weapon stats — trust what the belt shows when fleets push your claim.
- Wishlist on Steam so Early Access fleets land already fighting the same recontests.
