The basics
Starting the game
Players start with 100HP and a 6 card opening hand. Before turn 1 you can mulligan by choosing unwanted card to put back, drawing back up to 6, and reshuffling the unwanted cards back into the deck.
In the first turn, players will not draw, and will only receive 1 Grace roll.

Enact your strategy by activating Heroes to attack and/or use abilities.

combat
Combat is 1v1 unless otherwise stated on a card and is decided by a simple stat check. During your Engage Phase, you will declare what actions your heroes will take, you must declare the entirety of your move at one time, once you have declared The Respond Phase begins.
In this example the Ileydrian Lancer has a higher ATK stat than Bringer Monk’s DEF stat, Lancer is the Winner and Bringer Monk is sent to the Infirmary.
In this example the Enlightened Artist has a Lower ATK stat than Battle Engineer’s DEF stat, Battle Engineer is the Winner. Both Heroes stay on the Field but Enlightened Artist remains activated until reset in it’s owner’s next Upkeep.
In this example the Iron Monger has an Equal ATK stat to 2nd Regiment Private’s DEF stat, In ties the Attacker wins so Iron Monger is the Winner and 2nd Regiment Private is sent to the Infirmary.
If your opponent choses not to block your attack, there are no heroes to block, or a Hero is using an ability that bypasses opponent defenses the damage strikes their HP equal to the ATK stat of all successful Attacks.
