As long as the enemy's Sentinel stands, their other Guild members are not available to battle by anyone in your Guild. All that's available are the Sentinel, Guardian and Gate. As long as the Guardian stands, your ATK/DEF stats will be reduced according to the Guardians level, so your ability to take out their Sentinel is also reduced.

As Sentinel and the highest leveled member of our Guild, I go for the Guardian first and then attack the Sentinel. I try to coordinate our battles so we can maximize the points we attain; so, I send out a message to Guild mates that I am planning to battle at a certain time. Then, once I take out the Guardian and Sentinel, I send another message indicating that the Sentinel has fallen and everyone should join and attack in a coordinated effort over that hour. This then gives everyone the best chance to contribute as many points thru battle as possible. The higher the ranking enemy (e.g., Commander, High Commander, Guild Champion, Guild Master) the more points you gain by beating that player.

The Gate yields very few points and is not worth attacking unless you are a lower level player and can't even beat the other guild's Commanders.

As far as I know, you do not get drawn into battle, you must instead Declare War to initiate a contest. I'm guessing that the game draws from a pool of other Guilds that recently Declared War and matches your Guild against another. So, communicating w/ your Guild before declaring war is a good idea to get max participation.

Good luck...
