Realm War Basics

Get to grips with Realm War by following this basics guide on the games core features and objectives.

Summary

* A players objective when entering a battle is to destroy the enemy spire and eventually, the enemy Warlord.

* A spire is worth one victory point, whereas a Warlord is worth two and ends the game - You will be required to have a higher amount of victory points than your opponent in order to claim victory

* A battle will end when a player has claimed all three victory points, or when the timer runs out. If the timer runs out after extra time and the scores are equal, the match will result in a draw.

* Each game is 3:00 minutes with the option of an additional minute extra time in the case there is no clear winner. During extra time, the next additional point wins, be it either spire or Warlord.

* Winning a battle earns you battle points, coins and battle comets. Losing a battle earns you coins, however, you will lose battle points if you are defeated lowering your overall ranking.
* You can only earn a battle comet, if you have a free slot to store it
* Every day, you can earn coins from up to 20 battles. Further battles won't award more coins

* Realms are unlocked by reaching certain Battle point milestones, reaching higher Realms enables you to unlock new cards, comets and earn more currency from battles.

* In Realm War there is an additional objective "The Realmgate lane" - A race mechanic that requires you to send three hero units (depicted by the crown icon on the unit card) passed the gate threshold unleashing the Realmgate beast. This grants you an additional, very powerful card you can play without costs

Three hero units that pass the Realmgate will unlock the Realmgate beast, which gives the respective player a huge advantage.
