Melee
Knight
The balanced line-holder. Nothing spectacular, never a wasted pick, and hard on Assassins.
You win before the fight starts.
A tactical 1v1 auto battler. Draft three units a round and counter the army the enemy is building.

The trailer
Just under forty seconds, one descent.
Draft, heroes, the Hollow and the blow at the end. Captured from the game, in your language.
How it plays
Three picks. Two options. One winner.
Every round is the same sequence: pick three times, then fight. The armies get bigger with every round.
-
Two units, you take one
Three times a round the game puts a pair in front of you. A fresh pair costs 20 coins, each one after that ten more.
-
The army stacks up
Last round's units come back healed, the three new ones join them. In round five that is fifteen.
-
Then it runs without you
Both armies walk at each other. Whoever loses the round loses a life. At zero the match is over.
Units
Seven units that counter each other
From round two on you have watched the enemy army fight once. All of it comes back.
Melee
Melee
Guardian
A slow wall with little damage of its own. Buys your ranged units the time they need.
Melee
Assassin
Fast and fragile. Holds a flank, then blinks behind the enemy line and deletes the archers.
Ranged
Archer
Long reach, steady damage, almost no health. Devastating behind a wall, useless in front of one.
Ranged
Spear Thrower
Shorter range than an Archer but heavier hits. The mid-line compromise.
Ranged
Crossbowman
Long range, brutal single-target damage, slow reload. The answer to anything armoured.
Ranged
Plaguecaller
Weak on its own. Its plague hits every enemy of the kind it strikes, and when it falls, every enemy of its killer's kind. The answer to an army of one unit.
Commanders
Pick a Hero before you pick a unit
Heroes never step onto the battlefield. They bend the draft instead, with a passive that is always on, a tactical trick you can spend, and one ultimate per match. They get stronger by rarity, never by raw level.

Campaign
Seven territories, seven ways to be wrong
Each territory rewrites one rule before you draft, and every one ends with a boss and a Hero. The rule is shown before you commit. Adapting to it is the whole point.
