The rules

The board

Each player defends from a 3x3 deck of stone slabs. Defenders hit anything on the field, so range never matters, but placement does: many abilities help the defenders right next to them.

Your hand

Each round you are dealt three cards from your eight-card deck. Cards cost 3, 5 or 7 gold. You start with 10 gold and earn 10 more for every round you clear. Refresh the hand for 1 gold, freeze a card to keep it, or sell a defender for 1 gold per star.

Merging

Two identical defenders, same creature and same stars, make the next star: one star, two stars, three stars. Damage goes 1x, 2x, 4x. Attack speed stays the same, so every merge is pure power.

Your star

The heart star sits at the end of the lane. Enemies that get through damage it, with elites and bosses hitting harder than ordinary enemies. A Dungeon boss leak is not an automatic defeat: the run ends when the star runs out of hearts.

Planning time

In Arena and Co-op every round starts with 30 seconds of planning, or less if both players press ready. In the Dungeon you plan at your own pace.

Card levels

Packs give card parts and matches pay coins. Spend both to level a card up to 30. Each level adds 5% attack, and levels 10, 20 and 30 also make the card's ability stronger.

The three modes

Dungeon

Solo PvE with 100 stages, evolving challenges and a boss at the end of each stage.

Arena

Live 1 vs 1 strategy. Build pressure on the opponent while managing your own board and merges.

Co-op

Two players coordinate separate boards to protect one shared star online.
