GAMEPLAY

At its core Summoner’s Legion is a battle of strategy where players must try to build up an unstoppable army using their deck of cards, fighting through various battles against one or more opponents or even having an ally on your own side to aid you, players will gain XP to increase their level and unlock new features as well as in game currency to purchase new cards.

THE BATTLEFIELD

The in game battlefield consists of either one, two or three rows that make up the different lanes that stretch between the Allied and enemy Heroes, each row is divided into 10 square is with each square acting as a position to hold a single Unit as they try to move from their Hero towards the enemy.

HEROES

Each player controls one Hero in the battle, a stationary character with their own hit points that remains at your side of the battlefield, and the primary objective is to ensure your Hero stays alive whilst your Units make their way over to the enemy Hero and kill them.

Heroes can be made up of four different classes, each having its own types of skill cards available to it as well as its own Weapon that gives them the option of a particular action in battle:

Warrior - using their Longsword they are able to bolster a single Allied unit’s attack value by +1, their skills focus primarily on bolstering units’ defences

Mage - using a burn damage over time attack to a single enemy their skills revolve around destructive area damage that can target multiple units (sometimes their own)

Ranger - using a Hidden Dagger gives them the chance to deal direct damage to an enemy target unit and their skills revolve around hindering, damaging and outright killing enemy units

Priest - using a Life Staff they can increase the hit points of a friendly unit and their skills similarly focus on healing and buffing their own troops

UNIT CARDS

Unit Cards are the available troops that can be placed into battle, they are the main defensive and offensive cards to be used during a match and each card is broken down into a number of features:

Hitpoints - each Unit card has a number of hit points and determines how much damage it can take in battle from enemy units before it is removed from play

Attack - either spell or physical damage this value determines how much damage a unit can deal to enemy units or the enemy Hero on each turn

Mana Cost - each player has a Mana pool that increases its cap each turn and fully refreshes itself, each card has a Mana Cost that determines how many mana from this pool must be spent in order to put the card into play

Trait - many unit cards have their own traits that make them more useful in battle, increasing their available attack range, their overall movement and other tactical abilities such as healing allies or attacking enemies on different rows

Quality - ranging from common to mythical the quality of a card defines both its power and its rarity

SKILL CARDS

Depending upon the chosen class of Hero there are different Skill Cards available, acting similar to a Weapon, these cards allow for a variety of different tactics, everything from drawing more than one card per turn, dealing direct damage to an enemy, placing buffs on friendly units and more.
