Their turn is shown one move at a time — press Continue (or Space) to go on — we pause whenever you can respond. Passing is often right: the lesson is when to stop passing.

Details

Riven's turn, then yours. She Held Star Spring (B) this turn and is on 7; you're on 6. Her Astral Heron (7) has just attacked A, held by Yasuo, Remorseful (6: "When I attack, deal damage equal to my Might to an enemy unit here.") — take A and she's scored both battlefields: her 8th. Another Astral Heron (7) and a Stellacorn Herder (3) hold B. Her runes are spent. In hand: Block (2, [Action]: a unit gets [Shield 3] — +3 Might while it defends — and [Tank] this turn), Discipline (2, [Reaction]: +2 Might this turn, draw 1), Astral Heron and Playful Phantom. Two ready runes now; all twelve on your turn, and Unforgiven ("[2], [T]: Move a friendly unit to or from your base") Ready again. Survive her turn, then win yours.

How to play
  • Move: drag ready units onto a battlefield (or click units, then click where they go). They wait there, faded, until you press Confirm in the panel on the right — units that fight together must move together.
  • Runes: playing a card pays from them on its own. To float Energy or Power first, click a rune: Tap gives Energy, Recycle gives Power.
  • Cards: drag a card from your hand onto its target, or click it and then click the glowing target. The play waits in the panel on the right until you confirm it (Esc cancels).
  • Abilities:click your Legend (one click uses its ability), Gear, or a unit's ✧ badge.
  • Point at any card to see it large; right-click to read it. Hint, Undo and Retry are at the top.
