More about this game
Your goal is to survive endless waves of monsters by playing cards to attack, defend, and heal. Each turn, you roll wave dice to determine if you get a special card or take a penalty. You spend energy to play cards from your hand, then brace for the monster's attack. Difficulty increases as monsters gain more health and damage, with powerful bosses appearing every 5 rounds. A run ends when your HP drops to zero.
Tips
- Playing a Defense card grants armor, but a perfect guard gives a +6 armor bonus if it's the last card played.
- When your HP drops below 30%, your attacks deal 1.5x damage due to the low HP surge multiplier.
- Bosses appear every 5 rounds and have elemental effects; watch out for Fire which brands you for burn damage.
Questions
How do I get special cards?
At the start of each wave, you roll dice against the enemy. If your roll is higher, you win a special elemental card for your hand.
What happens if I lose the dice roll?
If your dice roll is lower than the enemy's, you take a blood tithe penalty, losing HP or gaining poison stacks.
How do I unlock new cards?
Defeating monsters gives you a choice of rewards, which can include unlocking new common, rare, or legendary cards to add to your deck.
