Horde Mode

A mode to recapture the Triskelion under attack. Try to clear as many waves as possible. You can earn rewards with every wave cleared. If you do not posses any entrance tickets you can receive one after logging in at 6 AM daily.

Players must fight their way to the top, battling through countless waves of enemies all the way from Wave 1 to Wave 70. The higher you progress the more challenging the mode will become.

***NB: Horde Mode is updated fairly regularly in-game and so it is not possible to update this guide each time. However, some of the enemies that appear on the board may change but currently the number of enemies which appear per wave are still the same.***

## Deck Leader

It goes without saying that currently the best leader to choose would be **Black Panther** due to him dealing **80 ATK** damage to all enemies on the battlefield if your HP is 1000 **or** below . For those who do not know you can obtain the Black Panther leader by reaching level 25 in-game.

## Team Building

When creating a team for Horde Mode it is best to focus on choosing characters which provide damage upon summoning whether they are 0, 1, 2 or 3 cost cards for example. The more you progress the more difficult the waves become with each enemy card having more HP and spawning multiple times at once every turn.

You will find below some example teams from the Top 100 on the leader board currently in-game. If you would like to see more teams, please check out the leader board directly and simply click on a players name to see their respective team.

### Tips on Team Building for Horde Mode

## The Horde

Below you will find a guide which provides details on what you will face in each wave of Horde Mode. Once again, please remember that the higher you progress the more difficult each wave will become. Also, important note, if you fail to take out a single enemy first time another enemy may spawn on the battlefield.

**Cosmic Fragments** will appear randomly on the board on empty squares. The fragment placement does not change between each wave so play your cards wisely.

Where enemies spawn on the battlefield is random (RNG), so if your game does not match with the images I have provided below this is why.

Every **5th** stage you will face a BOSS with varying levels of total HP. To defeat each enemy leader you must form a Battle Line which deals enough damage to take out the enemy. After defeating each enemy leader you will be rewarded with either a HP boost, Cosmic Shards or the return of one of your Action Cards used.

Also, for every **5th** wave completed a single Action Card used will be returned to your deck. After defeating the BOSS on every **10th** wave your leader's HP will be increased by a certain amount. Below you will find what you will receive after each boss battle:

***Wave 5 -** Cosmic Shards increased **and/*****or** *a single Action Card replaced*

***Wave 10 -** Cosmic Shards increased **and/*****or** *a single Action Card replaced*

***Wave 15 -** Cosmic Shards increased **and/or** a single Action Card replaced*

## Waves 1 - 70
