Earn by playing
Every match you play to the end pays out in Ember Stones: five for a win, three for a loss, a little less against the bot. Stones are the only currency in the game, and they can’t be bought.
The trailer
Five factions. One war.
Five factions
Choose how you answer the dark
Stick to one, or pair two: Alloy cards belong to two factions and power up while you hold terrain from both.
Cleanse it.
Spark refuses to let the world go dark. Heal your army, make it stronger and drag the fallen back out of the graveyard to fight again.
Plays with Heal · Reclaim · Raise · Spell Power
Become it.
Ash walked into the dark and came back changed. Stay hidden, strike first and drain the life out of everything you hit.
Plays with Hidden · Life Drain · Deathmark
Fight it.
Anvil is the last wall still standing. Huge defenders soak up the hits, spells bounce right off them, and a hammer waits for anything that gets too close.
Plays with Protect · Spellproof · Kill
Outlast it.
Rust knows time eats everything, the Shadow included. Hit early, hit hard, and grind your opponent’s deck down until there is nothing left to draw.
Plays with Breakthrough · Impulse · Erode
Adopt it.
Forge turns the Shadow into fuel. Build machines, flood the board with cogs and team up with any other faction.
Plays with Ember Shield · Kindle · Summon

Upgrade your cards

How it plays
The board
4½
5½
- No resource cards. Your ember grows by one every turn, up to twenty, all on its own. Every card you draw is a card you can use.
- Half embers. Each turn you can borrow half an ember from the next one. Cast that 3½ now and start next turn a little short.
- Aim everything, then strike. Point each attacker at a target, then hit Attack and the whole wave lands at once. Even a creature that dies in the clash gets its hit in.
- Wounds heal every turn. Finish the job in one turn, or your target walks it off.
