How to play

Win

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.

Your squad

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.

Your turn

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.

Scrap = TP

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.

Fragments = Forge

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.

Strike

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.

Weapons stay

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).

Rearguard

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.

Card colors

Tactic (blue) runs your engine. Attack (red) disrupts the enemy. Reflex (green) triggers on the enemy turn: you'll be asked when it applies.

Tip

Hover any card for a big readable view. Passives work for every deployed Leader, Vanguard included.

Turn your device sideways for the best view.
