## II. Character, Guardian

The main character of the game is a **Guardian of a floating Island** and a great **Tree**.

Each Guardian belongs to **one of **six cults****:

* **Love**
* **Joy**
* **Valor**
* **Hate**
* **Fear**
* **Suffering**.

Each cult has its own **philosophy,** based on **dominating emotion**. For example, adepts of Joy cult believe that the most important things in life are hilarity and carnival, and adepts of Fear believe that they are horror and helplessness. You cult will determine **battle spells** that will be available for you in the game.

### **Characteristics** and how to improve them:

Each Guardian has **9 characteristics**:

Guardians must continuously **improve their characteristics**  to be strong and battle worthy. There are several ways to do so:

* **Equipment**. In the Heavens one can find **artifacts, armor and weapons**. Guardians should always seek new items, which can dramatically improve their stats. Each hero can equip **six items**: weapon for the right hand, weapon for the left hand, armor, ring, amulet, relic. In the course of your travels across the Heavens you will find a lot of interesting artifacts, enchanted objects and legendary items. Each one can be used to equip - increase your characteristics, or be sold.. But remember, the higher the bonus from the item, the higher level you need to use it.

* **Achievements**. There are **three types of achievements** in the Heavens: **medals, collections and avatars.**

* **Medals** generally can be received for completing a certain task. For example, win a certain amount of times in the Arena. Each medal increases your characteristics temporarily or permanently, and some of them will also bring you **prize resources**.

* **Collections**. Collections can be gathered from items, avatars or medals. By collecting one rank of any collection, a Guardian will receive a bonus for that collection, but he will lose items (or medals and avatars and their bonuses) that was used for merging. After completing the full collection (all ranks), you can collect those medals or avatars again to get the maximum bonus.

* **Avatars** - are the appearances of the Guardian. You can get an avatar by completing a task, or entering an event. Some of avatars can be purchased for diamonds. After receiving a new avatar, the Guardian will get not only a new majestic appearance, but also permanent or temporary bonus for their characteristics.

In addition to what's listed above, you can use temporary **reinforcements** **(elixirs, scrolls, spells)**. You can also get a **battle pet**. Legendary Guardians become owners of individual avatars and islands that were specially created for them and which grant incredible power.

## III. Fight

Fighting system in the Heavens combines two styles: **match3** and **role play game**.

All actions during each battle are affected by Guardian's characteristics, thus, not only luck is important, but the strategy too.

Battle participants take turns by rotation, matching **magic stones, ankhs and skulls**. Each fighter has **30 seconds to to determine and make his move**. Player **match 3 or more stones, ankhs or swords** **in a row**. For **matching 5 and more stones** of the same kind in one row **a player will get additional turn**. You can also get **an extra turn** for **"Lucky moves"** which happen on a random basis. The chances of lucky moves depend on your **"Luck"** characteristics. Players can use attacking, healing, elixirs and spells to get an advantage in a battle . Battle ends when the health of either opponent drops to zero.

**Effects of matching stones on the field:**

If the player does not make any action that ends the turn (i.e. match stones or use some spells), then the turn will be given to his opponent automatically after the timer runs out. **For each victory** you will get **experience points**, **victory** **rating points** and **Hunter rating points** (for PvE fights) or **Assassin rating points** (for PvP fights). Also the winner gets as a trophy a random **item**.

> Attention - your equipment wears out after each fight. If you lost the battle each equipped item loses 2 points of strength, otherwise - 1 point.

**Spells** are important part of any battle that can turn the situation around. There are two types of spells: **neutral** and **cult**. Neutral spells are similar for every Guardian, most of them affect the playing field. Cult spells depend on your cult - there are six cults in game. Cult spells is targeted to dealing damage, healing, improving characteristics or decreasing your opponent's stats, or to special effect, i.e. "Stun". Spells require **mana points** (and energy for cult spells) to be used.

Consumables are also very useful. **Elixirs** can deal damage, heal your character, decrease your enemy's stats or increase yours. Elixirs can be found almost everywhere: you can purchase them in other Guardians stores, purchase during special sales or produce in your Workshop. To produce an elixir, you need to find a recipe and ingredients that drop from monsters and in some other activities too. The more items produced in the Workshop, the higher the mastery level. High mastery levels (also called "ranks") allows you to learn more complicated recipes.

**Pets** are loyal battle friends that will cover your back in any fight and support you with powerful spells. The most popular pets are **Dragons - Mortrex and Dragomar**. The most famous pet is a **Unicorn**. You should **feed your pet** to make it even stronger. Some pets are permanent, some pet will leave you in time, some of them needs to be fed in order to sustain their loyalty.

The type of the pet depends on the **Guardian's**cult**.** **Dragon of** Order is given to the Guardians of the right-hand cults **(Love, Joy, Valor)**. Dragon of **Chaos** egg is given to the Guardians of the left-hand cults **(Hate, Fear, Suffering)**. All eggs have a lifetime period. To release a dragon from the egg, you need to have 10 000 energy. **For more informations please check topic's: Pets**Mortrex and Dragomar .
