Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • ambush and guardian decks — ambush cards pull extra monsters into battles; guardians are stronger foes, leading to boss-like encounters with unique rules
  • Boss Battler — ambush cards pull extra monsters into battles; guardians are stronger foes, leading to boss-like encounters with unique rules
  • combat order (solo) — in solo mode, the hero acts first and the monster acts second
  • Combat: Damage Based — health is restored between battles; certain spells can heal to full or increase max health; some cards debuff or weaken the player temporarily
  • companion capture — defeated monsters can be captured as companions with endurance resources, usable in future battles
  • deck progression — draw from green (easiest) to orange, then blue, then red deck to encounter monsters, locations, or treasures
  • endurance/ shield mechanics — damage is absorbed by endurance shields first; once depleted, damage reduces health; shields regenerate between battles via armor
  • final battle structure and relic race — four factions, a final global battle against Dava and minions; relics speed progression toward finishing the race to obtain relics
  • market/equipment phase — weekly market offers weapons and armor; coins are spent to upgrade gear; equipment slots include weapon, armor, and spell slots
  • master of dreams / quest decks — top cards from the quest deck set objectives; completing quests yields gold and rewards; mastering dreams influences relic acquisition
  • multimonster encounters (multi-enemy combat) — when facing multiple enemies, only the primary enemy fights unless secondary enemies have endurance; companions can influence outcomes
  • Once-Per-Game Abilities — relics are powerful, one-time effects (e.g., instantly killing an enemy or dramatically boosting health)
  • relics and one-time effects — relics are powerful, one-time effects (e.g., instantly killing an enemy or dramatically boosting health)
  • rest and healing — health is restored between battles; certain spells can heal to full or increase max health; some cards debuff or weaken the player temporarily
