Victory Condition
Game ends immediately upon the defeat of a faction’s fortress
gate, if only one faction’s fortress gate remains. A fortress
gate is considered defeated if it loses its last health.
If multiple fortress gates are still intact at the end of four
waves, the game ends and players will compare fortress power
to determine a winner.
Fortress power= Gate health + # of fortress advancements.
Tie breaker #1 = Most gate health
Tie breaker #2 = Most remaining Source
Tie breaker #3 = Most spires
Tie breaker #4 = You are too competitive!! How about playing
another round?
Fortress Gate Pillaging
When you defeat a fortress gate and the game does not end
(because more than one fortress gate still has health), you
immediately pillage the defeated faction’s fortress. Increase
your Source by the amount of Source the defeated faction has
(up to your Source capacity) and reduce their Source to 0.
Repairing your Gate
During the next wave’s Income Phase, you must repair your
gate after receiving your Source income. Restore it to exactly 3
health by removing fortress advancement, gaining 1 gate
health for each scarified advancement. If you can’t afford 3
advancement to scarified, you must spend repair by spending 2
Source for each health. It may not be repaired higher than 3.

count as part of a unit’s movement. Naroran units
using the talent Riftwalk may teleport themselves to
Naroran Rifts as well. Minions may use Naroran Rift
during their movement as long as they make progress
towards their mark. A spire with Naroran Rift that is
occupied by a unit is still active. Teleporting to an
occupied Naroran Rift or Riftwalk chip defeats any
unit(s) occupying it. *Defeating grouped units this way
grants the reward for the top unit only.
Overload (L) On your turn, if you have a unit adjacent to
this landmark, you may spend 6 Source to discard it
and gain its reward.
Pacify (F) Instead of attacking, this unit may discard an
adjacent landmark minion to gain 3 Source.

remove health from a unit, instead removes half of its
existing health (rounded down).
Portable Gateport (L) Before or after its movement, a
hero may spend 1 Source to pick this item up from an
adjacent hex or drop it on an adjacent non-path hex.
The talent on this item cannot be used while it is being
carried.
Possess (F) Before or after this unit’s movement, it may
convert an adjacent ungrouped opposing faction
minion by placing this unit underneath it. You now
control the opposing minion as if it were your own
(and may move it if this unit hasn’t yet moved). When
damaged, remove health from the naroran unit. When
all health is removed from the naroran unit, it is
defeated and opponent regains control of their
minion.
Prepared (F) When this unit is retaliated against, reduce
damage dealt by 1.
Prowl (L) At the start of each round, the last player in turn
order must move the ancient traxxyr 2 hexes towards
the fortress gate of the player with the most Source. If
factions are tied for most Source, it moves toward the
fortress gate of the tied player who acts earliest in turn
order. After moving, the ancient traxxyr immediately
attacks if adjacent to a fortress gate. *Cannot be put
under the control of a faction in any way.
Quantum Dark (F) Before or after this unit’s movement, it
may defeat itself in order to convert an adjacent
opposing spire with 2 or fewer upgrades into a naroran
spire (replace the spire chip with a naroran spire chip
from your barracks).
Queen’s Blood (F) This unit does not have health of its
own; rather, its health is bound to the fortress gate.
When this unit leaves the fortress, it takes 5 of the
gate’s health to act as its own (adjust the fortress
gate’s health accordingly). When it returns to the
fortress, its health is added back to the fortress gate
(up to its maximum).
Quick Counter (F) When attacked by an adjacent unit, this
unit applies damage from its retaliation first. It will
then take damage from the attack if the attacker is not
defeated.
Quick Strike (F) This unit may attack prior to spires firing.
Rally (F) When this unit defeats a unit or spire, heir
minions within 2 hexes of this unit may immediately be
promoted.
Ram (F) When attacking an adjacent spire, this unit may
remove an attack upgrade from that spire (even if it is
not the bottom upgrade). Also, retaliation from
opposing units cannot deal more than 2 damage to this
unit.
Rooted (F) If adjacent to a spire, this unit may stay in
place instead of moving. It must move on the next turn
in which it can make progress towards its mark.
Raze (F) At the start of your turn, this spire may attack a
spire or fortress gate within its range. Fortress
retaliation removes the bottom upgrade of this spire.
Reap (M) Once per wave when this unit is adjacent to a
Source Well (even if occupied), roll the D6 and gain the
die result in Source.
Recruitable (L) The revealing faction may choose to
convert this minion, controlling it as if it were their
own. Place this minion on the closest valid path hex.
When this minion is defeated, no reward is granted.
Recruiter (F) Before or after this unit’s movement, it may
convert an adjacent landmark minion to be under your
control. Place the minion on the closest path hex to
this unit. It now takes its movement for the turn.
When this minion is defeated, no reward is granted.
Relentless (L) When retaliating, this unit rolls a spire
attack die. Continue to roll and tally the damage until a
miss or crit is rolled. At that point, stop rolling and
apply all damage (including damage from the crit, if
applicable).
Riftwalk (L) Treat this landmark as a path hex. Moving
onto it instantly teleports a unit to another landmark
with the talent Riftwalk (unless there are none).
Teleporting does not count as part of a unit’s
movement. Minions may use Riftwalk during their
movement, as long as they make progress towards
their mark. Teleporting to an occupied Riftwalk
landmark defeats any unit(s) occupying it. *Defeating
grouped units this way grants the reward for the active
unit only.
Roost Roam (F) You may choose how much of this unit’s
movement to use, where it moves, and if it attacks. Its
movement stat is equal to the # Roost it most recently
perched on. If this unit does not start its turn on a
Roost, it must either perch on a Roost or use
Glidebomb/Save before of after its movement. While
perched, this unit is not considered grouped and is still
active. If elfinkaze are the only faction minion type in
play, the wave ends and elfinkaze are returned to your
barracks.
Save (F) Before or after this unit’s movement, it may
defeat itself in order for an adjacent unit to recover up
to 4 health.
Secret Passage (L) This landmark may be attacked to
remove its health chip. Once health is removed, any
hero may move onto this landmark (ignoring terrain
restrictions). Locate an unrevealed landmark on an
adjacent isle, and swap the two landmark chips (along
with your hero). This swap does not count as part of
your hero’s movement. When your hero moves off this
landmark, replace 1 health under it.
Self-Destruct (F) At the start or end of your turn, this unit
may defeat itself in order to deal 2 damage, plus an
additional 2 damage per upgrade on this unit, to all
adjacent opposing units and spires (removing 1
upgrade).
Source Aura (F) After this unit’s movement, it may deal 1
damage to all adjacent opposing units and spires.
Sourcefield (F) When this unit is attacked, you may spend
Source equal to the amount of damage dealt in order
to negate all of the damage. This unit still retaliates.
Source Link (L) The revealing faction may place a minion
chip under this landmark to designate ownership. On
your turn during the Onslaught Phase, you may replace
the current minion chip with one of your own if you
have a unit adjacent to this landmark. The owner gains
+5 Source during the Income Phase and +2 CP during
the Prep Phase.
Spawn (F) At the start of your first turn during the
Onslaught Phase, you may place a larva on an adjacent
path hex (if available).
Spire Shot (M/F) As part of this unit’s movement, it may
move onto an adjacent friendly non-fortress spire.
While on a spire, this unit gains +1 Range. The spire is
inactive while this unit is on top.
Splash (M/F) When attacking, this unit or spire may
additionally deal 1 damage to all units adjacent to its
target.
Summon (F) May only be performed by an ungrouped
unit. Instead of moving, you may spend (X) Source to
create a war briar (3), vineherald (4), or treed (5). If
performed by a taproot, the unit is summoned on its
promoted side. Flip the taproot and group it under the
summoned unit in the same hex. If performed by a
hero, unit is summoned on its basic side and placed on
the closest path hex to the hero. The summoned unit
does not move this turn.
Summon Hero (L) Before or after movement, if your hero
is adjacent to this landmark, you may spend 3 Source
to teleport another hero to a hex adjacent to this
landmark (adhering to terrain restrictions).
Survival (M/F) At the end of your turn, if this unit did not
move or attack, it may recover 1 health.
Stasis (F) Before or after this unit’s movement, you may
place it on top of an adjacent ungrouped opposing
faction minion. That minion becomes inactive,
however any damage dealt to this unit is removed
from the inactive minion’s health. This unit must move
off of the minion on the next turn in which it can make
progress (and may not use Stasis again that turn).
Swindle (M) When this unit attacks or retaliates against
faction units, it does not deal damage. Instead, it steals
1 Source from that faction for each health that would
have been removed.
Tempered (F) Before this unit’s movement each turn, roll
the forsaken die. You may apply the result to this unit
or reroll and apply the new result instead. If forsaken
are the only faction minion type in play, the wave ends
and forsaken stay in play. Cannot be grouped.
Toxic Secretion (L) Anytime a non-griege unit moves onto
a hex adjacent to this unit, it is dealt 1 damage.
Toxic Fumes (F) When this unit is defeated, it may place a
toxic fumes chip on its hex. A hex may contain multiple
toxic fumes. Return toxic fumes to your barracks at the
end of the wave.
Toxic Secretion (F) Anytime a non-griege unit moves onto
a hex adjacent to this unit, it is dealt 1 damage
Transport (F) Must be grouped with exactly one minion
under it. The minion grouped under this unit may have
a lower movement stat.

forsaken die and apply the result to this unit. If
forsaken are the only faction minion type in play, the
wave ends and forsaken stay in play. Cannot be
grouped or use the talent Riftwalk.
Unstable Rift (L) When revealed, this landmark is
removed from play and all units adjacent to it are
defeated. The revealing player gains Source equal to
total health lost in this ritual. *Only count active unit’s
health for grouped units.
Waterwalker (M) While this unit is on a water hex, spires
cannot attack it.
Wallop (F) Instead of attacking, this spire may deal 1
damage to an adjacent unit, then place it up to 3 hexes
away from this spire on any valid hex. The unit may be
fired upon by any new spires it is now in range of.
Once this talent is used, flip this spire to its reetall side
(keeping existing upgrades).
Weak Point (M) Instead of attacking, this unit may
remove the top two upgrades from an adjacent spire.
