Why players stay after the first run

Built for short sessions with deep mastery: tactical readability inspired by Hades, atmospheric scale inspired by Destiny 2, and buildcraft pressure inspired by Diablo IV.

01

Clear loop, real mastery

Every turn exposes risk and timing windows. No noise: each card and intent matters.

02

Progression with direction

Towers unlock set pieces and bridge rewards, so each build evolves with clear targets.

03

Mechanical endgame

Boss signatures force adaptation in deck structure and timing, not just stat scaling.

Campaign to endgame lane

A clear path so players always know what to farm, what set to prioritize, and how to prep for the next boss.

T1-T5

Classic Spire

Stabilize your base deck and learn first boss defensive checks.

T6-T10

Rift Keep

Higher pressure through Runic barriers and charge-break timing.

T11-T15

Abyss Citadel

First real sustain gate: mitigation and recovery become mandatory.

T16-T20

Warlord Fortress

Elemental carapace checks and tighter tempo control encounters.

T21-T25

Endless Throne

Capstone with phase-based sigils and sustained damage checks.
