Gameplay Mechanics: Mastering the Art of War

The event starts with helpful tutorials. Here's a simplified breakdown:

Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have diverse types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).

Study your opponent's lineup beforehand. The bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness. Changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points – use them judiciously.

Key Unit Roles:

  • Melee: High damage absorption, slow speed.
  • Ranged: Long-range attacks, low health.
  • AoE DMG: Damages groups of units.
  • Flying: Evades ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.

Level up units by re-selecting them in subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Remember, Elemental Reactions function as they do in the main game.

Winning isn't everything! Earn Wargame Medals regardless of victory or defeat. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards.
