As many as possible

The Holy War scheme revolves around lobbing Holy Hand Grenades across an empty map, while filling that map with countless girders. Along with Girder Starter Packs and Holies, players are also provided with unlimited Parachute, Bungee, and the invaluable Teleport to help them move around. The first few turns of the game usually see players spamming the map with girders, building funnels, bridges, blocking shots and, for the more insidious player, imprisoning enemy worms in tight spaces.

A steady supply of utility crates spice the scheme up, giving players a strong incentive to establish access routes around the map for collecting them (and denying other players the same ability). Due to a unique quirk in the crate generation code, the occasional weapon crate also appears - and it always contains a superweapon.

Despite not being popular in leagues or tournaments, the scheme is remarkably consistent, rarely deviating from the settings it is commonly played with. One variation however sees the scheme played without parachute (to reduce luck of the wind) and - more significantly - without retreat time, which makes dropping a Holy Hand Grenade for an easy kill a far riskier venture.

Tricks

If there's is a girder under your worm and an opponent worm beside yours, it is possible to do a trick aiming the Holy Hand Grenade down and firing it. After the blast, the opponent worm will probably drown and your worm will survive falling on the other girder. This trick can be avoided if the scheme has few worm health.
