Your first steps into the arena
Build your first deck, learn essence, and make every deployment count.

Eight cards. A thousand possibilities.
Your deck brings 8 cards into battle, and you hold 4 of them at a time. Combine a sturdy frontline, ranged support, a building-targeting attacker and spells. A balanced deck gives you answers to more situations than eight expensive attackers.
Spend essence with a plan
Every card has an essence cost. You start with 5 essence and earn one more every 2.8 seconds, up to 10. In the last 60 seconds essence flows twice as fast. Defend efficiently, then support surviving troops with a counterattack. Committing everything to one lane leaves the other exposed.
