The Warden, sword in hand

The Vigil

Short battles, one hand, every second a choice

One sword. One spell.
Every grave is yours.

I

Steer

Move the Warden with a single stick. He fights on his own: a sword strike up close, a thrown flame-orb when he stands his ground.

II

Summon

One shared pool of ten mana pays for everything. Tap a card and the dead rise beside him to hold the line for twenty seconds.

III

Detonate

When the pack closes in, spend a full bar on Dark Nova. It blasts every enemy around him, throws them back and slows them.

The Army

Call the dead
to your side.

Bring a loadout of up to five cards into every battle. Tanks taunt, archers hold back, supports heal and shield. Clear the campaign to unlock ten summons in all, and level each one with the gold you carry home.

Bone Soldier
TankUncommon

Bone Soldier

Shield up on the front line. Taunts anything that comes too close to the Warden.

RangedUncommon

Bone Archer

Hangs back and looses from five tiles out while the line holds.

MeleeRare

Grave Headsman

Fast, heavy cuts. Sent in to finish whatever the soldiers are holding.

TankEpic

Crypt Guard

Thick armour and a wide taunt that pulls a whole pack off the Warden.

The Campaign

Two chapters.
Twenty stages.

Break the wards, open the chests on the verges and push north. Twice a chapter the trail drops into a crypt: fog lifts as you explore, and a lord waits in the vault.

Chapter I · Stages 1–10

The Ashen Marsh

Drowned graves and dead trees along a trail that never stops climbing north. Thralls in the reeds, archers on the verges.

Chapter boss

The Bog Hag

Chapter II · Stages 11–20

The Hollow Crypt

Broken tombs and a road of cracked stone into the dark, where the dead were buried in ranks and something still keeps them.

Chapter boss

The Crypt Warden

The Bastion

Then hold the line
against everything.

Open all five loadout slots and the Bastion opens: your wall against their citadel, summons pouring down the lanes, every wave tougher than the last. Break the citadel before the wall falls, and carry home gold, experience and gear.
