How to Play
The basics you need to command your first Guardian and win your first duel.
- 1
Choose Your Guardian
Pick one of the Four Dominions — Hellforge, Stonebound, Tideborne, or Skyborne. Your Guardian is your Champion on the field and starts every battle at 7,500 Life Points.
- 2
Select Your Deck
Before every match — Campaign, Arena, Ranked or PvP — pick one of your pre-built decks from the Deck Forge. Your deck brings your Creatures, Weapons, Spells, and Environment cards ready to duel — no last-minute assembly.
- 3
Deploy Your Six
Both players field 6 Creatures across the top and bottom rows. Each creature shows its portrait, HP / ATK / DEF, equipped gear, and any active buffs, debuffs, or status effects.
- 4
Take Your Turn
Each turn: Draw → Gain Energy → Play Spells & Environments → Summon Creatures → Attack → End turn. Normal Creatures can attack the same turn they're summoned. Legendary and Mythic Creatures suffer summoning sickness and must wait one turn before attacking (unless they have Rush).
- 5
Creatures Must Fall First
You cannot strike the enemy Champion while they still control a live creature. Destroy all six opposing Creatures to break their shield wall — direct attacks stay locked until the board is clear.
- 6
Two Paths to Victory
Win by destroying all 6 enemy Creatures, OR by draining the enemy Champion from 7,500 Life Points to 0 once the battlefield is empty. Unleash your Guardian's ultimate to close it out.
Golden Rule
Card text always beats the rulebook. If a card says it can do something, it does — even if the rules would normally say otherwise.
The Avatars
Choose your faction. Become legend.
