More about this game
Your goal is to destroy the enemy citadel, which starts with 12,000 health, while defending your own fortress. You spend mana to deploy units like one-cost skeletons and three-cost mages into the left, middle, or right lanes. The enemy commander spawns units to counter your pushes. The battle escalates in phases: after thirty seconds, you choose a heavy elite unit to unlock. During the final sixty seconds of overtime, mana regeneration doubles to one point every 0.75 seconds, and a powerful spell unlocks. A run ends when either base falls.
Tips
- The Flame Mage costs three mana but deals splash damage in an 88-pixel radius, making it perfect for clearing out enemy skeleton swarms.
- Save three mana for the Lightning Rune in overtime; hitting three or more enemies triggers a critical impact that multiplies damage by 1.25.
- Heavy cards like the Dark Knight have a three-second cooldown after deployment, so plan your defensive lane blocks carefully before they lock.
Questions
How do I unlock the third card?
The third card unlocks after thirty seconds when wave two begins. You will be prompted to choose between the four-mana Dark Knight and the three-mana Shadow Archer.
When can I use the Lightning Rune?
The Lightning Rune unlocks during overtime, which begins when there are sixty seconds left on the battle timer. It costs three mana and stuns enemies for 1.5 seconds.
What happens if the battle takes too long?
Twenty seconds after overtime begins, a Stalemate Breaker automatically triggers. This buff permanently increases the movement and attack speed of all units on the board by twenty percent.
