About the Game

Each run begins with a pairing: choose a hero, then choose a companion. Your hero has a unique power, and your companion unlocks your second elemental card pool.

Your pairing decides what kind of run you are building. Draft around your strengths, cover your weaknesses, and discover endless combinations.

DRAFT YOUR DECK

Draft your deck one shop visit at a time. Open packs, upgrade cards, recruit minions, and uncover artifacts. Spend wisely. The fate of your run is built one choice at a time.

Win fights to earn blessings that improve future shops, turning each victory into better choices, bigger rewards, and new ways to shape your deck.

SURVIVE THE GAUNTLET

Put your build to the test in the Gauntlet: a series of battles against rival heroes with their own elemental pairings, decks, and strategies.

Play the right cards, summon powerful minions, and fight your way to victory!
