Game guide

01

Gold & rewards

Timing starts with the match: first income at 0:10 and first periodic reward at 2:30. Both stack, so the 2:30 payment is 390 gold and 5 troop power. Regular income is silent; periodic rewards show an announcement.

Last-hit gold goes to the credited player, including kills by their owned summons. Nearby allies do not share that gold. Timed match income goes to each player without requiring a kill or proximity.

Killing a player hero grants 300 personal gold and 1 troop power; XP depends on the victim’s level. Illusions grant no death rewards.

Lane AI bounty is base gold × 1.15. Gold rounds to the nearest integer, with .5 rounded up. Fixed camps use × 1.10 gold / × 0.84 XP in the top region and × 1.30 gold in the bottom region, with × 1.08 XP for respawning camps and × 0.92 XP for one-off camps. Event units use × 1.15 gold / × 1 XP. The catalog includes these modifiers.

Destroy a lane barracks or cavalry camp to stop its associated enemy spawns and grant each allied player an extra 400 gold. This is separate from last-hit bounty. Arrow towers award personal bounty without this 400-gold team reward.

A player hero loses 300 gold on death, down to a minimum of zero. Level, learned skills and XP progress persist. Killing enemy heroes, ordinary lane soldiers or hostile neutrals also grants 1 troop power; player-controlled summons such as Jonin do not count as lane soldiers for this reward.

Damage to an enemy hero, or effective crowd control on an enemy player hero, within 12 seconds before death can qualify for an assist. Damage, control and owned summons share one assist per player; the final-hit player is excluded. An assist gives +10 match points with no extra gold. XP follows the nearby sharing rule.

02

Match score & account progress

Match score records kills, assists, tower destruction and restoration support, with a deduction for deaths. These points are separate from match gold.

Score = max(0, kills × 30 + assists × 10 + non-hero units × 1 + towers × 50 − deaths × 15 + effective restoration casts × 2)

The total cannot fall below 0. Eligible enemy soldiers, neutrals, summons and animals count as non-hero units; buildings, trees, barrels, wards, projectiles and items do not. Hero kills and arrow towers are scored separately. Winning adds no match-score bonus.

Example: 4 hero kills, 5 assists, 40 non-hero units, 1 arrow tower, 3 deaths and 8 effective restoration activations give 231 points.

Crowd control & assist counting

Successfully applied stuns, roots, silences, disarms, sleep, polymorph, knockback, airborne effects and slows can qualify you for an assist against an enemy player hero. The effect must apply within 12 seconds before that hero dies; immune, blocked or unapplied effects do not count.

For each enemy hero death, damage, crowd control, repeated hits and your summons’ contributions are combined into at most one assist per player. The final-hit player receives the kill without an assist for that same death.

Healing / mana: +2 per activation

A skill or item that actually restores another allied player hero’s HP or MP earns 2 points for that activation, without an assist. Multiple recipients, both resources, chains and repeated healing ticks share the same award. Self-restoration, illusions, non-heroes, full-resource targets and passive regeneration do not qualify. Active regeneration buffs count only after they actually restore a resource.

Example: one cast heals and restores mana to 4 teammates, followed by several regeneration ticks. The entire activation still earns only +2. Another effective activation can earn another +2.

Account XP

An officially settled normal or ranked match must last at least 8 minutes and the player must not abandon it. Account XP = 50 + min(200, floor(match score ÷ 5)) + 75 for a win. Losses and draws have no win bonus. Time beyond 8 minutes adds no further XP. This is separate from the hero’s in-match level 1–35 experience.

Accounts cap at level 100. Advancing from level L requires 200 + 50 × L account XP; level 1→2 requires 250 XP.

03

Hero attributes

Only the primary attribute adds basic attack damage: +1 damage per point. Strength, Agility and Intelligence heroes use their respective primary stat. Intelligence does not automatically increase all spell damage; attribute scaling must be specified by the ability.

Hero max HP = base HP + Strength × 25 + other HP bonuses. Max MP = Intelligence × 12 + other MP bonuses. Armor = base armor − 6 + Agility × 0.33 + other armor bonuses. Regeneration also includes the hero’s base regeneration and item bonuses.

Attack-speed multiplier = 1 + Agility × 0.01 + bonus attack-speed fraction, clamped to 0.05–6. Attack interval = base interval ÷ multiplier, rounded to the nearest 0.05-second step (minimum 0.05 seconds). Example: 1.5-second base interval, 50 Agility and no other bonuses → one attack per second.

04

Damage & defense

Physical damage

For armor A ≥ 0: damage taken = damage ÷ (1 + 0.06 × A). For A < 0: damage taken = damage × (2 − 0.94^(−A)). At 10 armor, take 62.5%; at −10 armor, about 146.14%. Siege damage uses this armor formula too.

Spell damage

Spell damage taken = spell damage × (1 − magic resistance). The usual hero baseline is 30% resistance, so 100 spell damage removes 70 HP. Physical armor is not used. Combined resistance is clamped to −95%–95%. Spell immunity blocks ordinary spell damage; effects that ignore immunity still use resistance.

Pure damage

Pure damage bypasses armor and magic resistance. Invulnerability, avoidance, damage-reduction passives, magic shields, damage sharing and special abilities may still change the final HP loss according to the effect. Use the ability’s stated damage type.

Basic attack matchups

For basic attacks, or physical effects with an explicit attack type, multiply by this table before applying armor. “Magic” here names an attack type; spell damage instead uses magic resistance. Unspecified types use × 1.

05

Hero progression

Heroes start at level 1 and cap at 35. Going from level L to L + 1 costs 100 + 75 × L XP: 175 for 1→2, then 250 for 2→3. Each level consumes its requirement and carries the remainder forward; one reward can grant several levels.

XP from an enemy killed by your team is split evenly among living allied heroes within 14 horizontal units of the death. You need not last-hit; allied soldiers can secure the kill. Dead, out-of-range or other-team heroes receive none. Catalog XP is the total pool before sharing.

Each level adds the hero’s own Strength, Agility and Intelligence growth, updating HP, MP, damage and armor. Current HP and MP increase by the amount their maximum increased; leveling does not fully heal you. Hero pages list each growth rate.

Standard skill learning gives 1 point at level 1 and 1 per level gained. W/E/R/T and the attribute-bonus skill spend points, subject to their own level requirements and rank caps. Innate skills cost no points; level-gated innates unlock automatically.

Hero kill XP pool: victim levels 1/2/3/4/5 grant 100/120/160/220/300. Each level above 5 adds 100. Hero respawn time is level × 3 seconds.

06

Waves & battlefield growth

Each lane has independent streams: 3 Ashigaru every 27 seconds, 1 Archer every 27 seconds, 2 Cavalry every 108 seconds and 2 Arquebusiers every 162.5 seconds. First spawns are slightly staggered by lane and unit type. Destroying the associated barracks or cavalry camp stops that stream.

Army upgrades occur at 7:00, 18:40 and 32:00; the catalog lists stat gains per unit. Main buildings upgrade at 13:20, 30:00, 50:00 and 73:20, gaining 300 max HP per tier. Barracks, cavalry camps, headquarters and arrow towers gain 2 armor per tier; tents and walls gain 1.

Fixed camp respawn timers begin when that occupant dies and vary by monster. Bandit King, Low Ninja and Middle Ninja do not respawn automatically. Event monsters follow their event schedule instead.
