So basically, play a few resource cards so you can get some troops onto the board then try to kill the opposing champion using brute force, guile and a host of imaginative and beautifully drawn cards before your opponent takes down your champion. Constants, Artifacts and Actions are usually used to buff your own troops of in some way hinder the oppositions. The winner is the first person to reduce his enemy champions’ health to zero – so troops are pretty darn important. Troops are used to attack the opposing champion and block attacks to your champion from opposing troops. You need resources to play troops and complete actions for example each troop has a Threshold that is the minimum number of resource required to play it. Cards are split into 5 categories Resource, Troop, Constant, Artifact, and Quick Action.
