Tutorial

Screenshot of the first of two new tutorials

The tutorial is a game mode where the player can learn the basic mechanics of the game. It consists in a set of guided matches that each focuses on specific aspects.

The tutorial tab is located under Arena.

Tutorials

The first two tutorials are guided matches where the player learns the basics of the game. In those matches, the player is forced to do certain actions and always wins within a few turns.

1. The basics
   • Getting resources
   • Playing units
   • Countdown, Attack and Health
   • Moving units
2. Reading scrolls
   • Getting more scrolls
   • Spells
   • Enchantments
   • Scroll rules

Practice Matches

Contrary to the two tutorials, practice matches have regular rules. To win, the player has to destroy three opponent idols. The player uses a fixed deck, but always has the choice of what to do. This means he could potentially lose the match. Nevertheless, each match focuses on one specific aspect (e.g. using abilities). There's always a tip displayed at the top of the screen.
