How it plays
You build the team.
The fight plays itself.
Recruit along the road, set your formation, hand out gear and banners, then watch the plan play out: skills, Ultimates, shields and statuses, all of it readable on every hero. Three acts, a boss at the end of each, and a wipe against a boss ends the run.
Heroes
112 odd heroes. No two alike.
Walking kilns, seed pods that heal, effigies that tie their enemies up. Every hero brings a mechanic of its own: shapeshifters whose form order you choose, summoners whose familiars take no place in the line.

Tarn
Keeper of the Red Orchard
Support
A squat living seed pod with root feet and a wooden grafting clamp. He still tends the abandoned orchard, one graft at a time.
Brann
Warden of the Cooling Gates
Tank · Fighter
A broad walking kiln who once watched Kilnwater's gates. Blows that strike his shield only stoke the fire inside.
Senn
Effigy of Brass Hollow
Magician · Hexer
A tall reed-and-fabric effigy that walks out of Brass Hollow trailing violet thread. It ties enemies up for others to cut.
Kett
Blade of the Orchard Paths
Fighter
A compact beetle fighter with an ochre shell and a short ivory blade. Fast, blunt, and never where you aimed.
Noma
Cartographer of Stormglass Reach
Support · Hexer
A sea-green stone shore spirit carrying a navigator's divider. She charted the Reach and now charts the gaps in enemy lines.
Trell
The Antlered Rampart
Tank · Support
A woodland guardian with dark wooden limbs and a curled leaf shield. Where an ally falters, Trell is already standing.
