TWO RULEBOOKS.
ONE HUNGRY PIT.

Start with the hero combat you know, then choose the war around it: command an entire faction in a four-team bloodbath, or turn a spiral road into an engineered kill zone.

Choose your banner

FOUR WARBANDS.
FOUR WAYS TO KILL.

Commit on your first army upgrade. Your banner shapes every troop, racial trait, and siege strategy from that moment on.

01

IRONHOLD

Disciplined · Adaptive · Defiant

Parry the killing blow, answer every threat, and march siege golems through the smoking gate.

RACIALParry
Man-at-Arms → Musketeer → Runeward → Knight → Siege Golem
02

BLOODTUSK

Relentless · Brutal · All melee

Close the distance, snare the cowardly, then let savage blows turn the frontline into wreckage.

RACIALSavage Blow
Drudge → Brute → Fangrider → Ironhorn → Thunderhide
03

SYLVAN

Elusive · Precise · All ranged

Vanish between volleys and own the longest sightlines in the pit. If they reach you, you waited too long.

RACIALLongshot
Archer → Moonspear → Windtalon → Thornmaid → Moonlance
04

THE PALE

Undying · Unstable · Unending

Feed the frenzy. Every racial rank accelerates the dead until the lane becomes an avalanche of bone.

RACIALFrenzy
Husk → Boneweaver → Tombfiend → Plague Wagon → Charnel Horror

The complete army codex

ONE RECRUIT.
TWENTY WAR MACHINES.

Every barracks begins unsworn. Your first tier chooses a banner, then commits every future wave to that faction’s fixed five-unit ladder.

START Unsworn Recruit
UNSWORN

RECRUIT

Every army starts here: one plain footman, no racial bonus, and one permanent choice ahead.

THE WAR
HAS A PRICE.

Every coin pulls you in a different direction. Feed the barracks, sharpen the army, empower your racial, or gear the hero who has to survive the next push.
