How a Match Works

1. Place your buildings: Arrange your buildings before the timer runs out.
2. Combat starts: Your opponent's board is revealed, and all buildings attack automatically.
3. Win the duel: Destroy all enemy buildings, or have more buildings alive when combat ends.

Controls

• Pick a building: Click or tap a building in the bottom bar.
• Place it: Move it onto your grid and click, tap, or release to place it.
• Rotate: Use the rotate buttons, or press Q and E on keyboard.
• Move a placed building: Click or tap one of your placed buildings during placement, then place it again.
• Check stats: Select a building to see its health, damage, and attack speed.

Placement Tips

• Buildings cannot overlap or hang off the edge of the grid.
• If you run out of time, unplaced buildings will be placed for you automatically.
• Use rotation to fit awkward shapes into stronger positions.
