Basic gameplay
Battles are turn based. Reduce the enemy Warlord’s health to 0 to win.

Warlords are bigger units always aligned at the center of the battlefield. Your Warlord is always placed in the lower part of the battlefield.

By default you start each game with 2 energy and 3 cards in your hand, or 4 if you’re going second.

The Warlord with the highest Initiative goes first. If both have the same value, who goes first is decided randomly.

You maximum Energy increases by 1 at the start of each turn, up to a maximum of 10. Energy is used to play cards and use active abilities and it fully replenishes at the start of your turn. Your energy is displayed under the End Turn button at the right side of the screen, and your opponent’s Energy on top.

At the beginning of your turn you draw a card from your deck of 30 cards. You can have up to 10 cards in your hand. If there are no cards left in your deck, you will take 1 cumulative damage each time there is an attempt to draw.
