  • How To Play - Tip #1: Rock, Paper, Scissors
    • Just like Rock beats Scissors, beats Paper > beats Rock.
    • Our base card mechanic is; Warrior beats Archer beats Mage > beats Warrior.
  • Tip #2: Win, Lose, Draw > Abilities
    • An Archer Wins vs a Mage, Draws when facing an Archer, killing each other, then Loses to a Warrior.
    • Card abilities activate for Wins and Draws, not Losses, unless it's an On Death ability.
  • Tip #3: Units, Formations, Ability Order
    • Unit placement matters. Consider the enemy Formation and card abilities, as many Abilities are very specific.
    • Transform abilities activate first, then Defense, and lastly Offense abilities.
  • Tip #4: Turn Order, Rounds, Victory
    • The enemy Attacks first, and you see their formation to Defend against, then it alternates Attacker vs Defender each round, for Six rounds max.
    • Reduce the enemy Champion's health to zero, or have the most health at the end of the six rounds for Victory.
  • Last Tip #5: Survivors & Champions
    • Champions have special passive abilities that will auto-trigger during battles.
    • On round win, surviving unit cards will return to your hand, marked with the Hand icon.
