Gachiakuta: Squad Tactics is a free deck-building card battler you play in your web browser. Open Normal, Silver and Gold packs to get a squad of five Leaders, including Rudo, Riyo, Zanka, Enjin and more. Play Scrap cards for Trash Points, buy Tactic, Attack and Reflex cards from the Pit, forge Fragments beside your Vanguard and spend Forge Points on powerful active skills. Play solo against the AI, learn with the interactive How to play walkthrough, collect every Leader card, or host an online room and play with friends.
Your Vanguard starts on the field. The other four shuffle into your deck.

Only the Vanguard (center slot) can attack or be attacked. When it falls, its Forge is discarded and a Rearguard steps up. If the Vanguard falls with an empty Rearguard, that squad loses.
Every match starts by opening a pack: the five Leaders inside are your team. The number in a Leader's top-right corner is its HP.
You get 5 cards and 2 Actions. Play in any order, then hit End turn. Leftover cards are discarded and you draw a fresh five.
Click Scrap cards to earn Trash Points, then click a Pit pile to buy it. Bought cards go to your discard pile and cycle into your deck.
You start with 6 Scrap Metal and 3 Steel Fragments. Only Fragments can be forged. Buy Duct Tape Repair in the Pit, then play it (1 Action) to place a Fragment beside your Vanguard.
Once per turn your Vanguard can use its skill. A cost like 4 FP means spending Forged cards worth 4+ Forge Points in total. Damage is usually the total you spent.
Forged cards stay when you swap Leaders with Tactical Retreat. Forging into a full Forge replaces a card of your choice (the old one is discarded).
Leaders drawn into your hand are dead weight until you bench them with Reinforcement Signal (5 TP). Benching backups is how you survive a knockout. Benched Leaders give their Passive and can't be attacked.
Tactic (blue) runs your engine. Attack (red) disrupts the enemy. Reflex (green) triggers on the enemy turn: you'll be asked when it applies.
Hover any card for a big readable view. Passives work for every deployed Leader, Vanguard included.
