SkyLords is a game of mid-air jousting where warriors leap from towers and clash in flight. The combat tests skills of both agility and brute strength. A powerful, heavy fighter may offer up a formidable defense, but a lighter opponent can attack from above. It is crucial to find a balance between power and weight that will beat the strategy of your opponent.
