How do automatic battles work?
You recruit and merge champions, then position them before combat. Your champions move, attack, and use their abilities automatically. Between rounds, improve your lineup and adjust your formation based on what happened in the last fight.
Is ranked play live multiplayer?
Ranked is asynchronous: you face recorded runs of real players in ranked matches. It requires Game Center and an internet connection. Practice runs on your device against bots, without a Game Center sign-in.
Is it free to play?
The planned release includes 10 free practice matches with all champions. A one-time unlock ($7.99 in the US) adds unlimited practice and 30 days of ranked play. After that, ranked is an optional subscription ($1.99/month or $14.99/year in the US). Eligible new subscribers get the first week free. No ads, loot boxes, or purchased champion power.
