Short

Warlord Academy is an autobattler for iPhone and iPad. Recruit champions, merge matching copies into stronger versions, arrange your team on the board, and watch the battle play out against seven rivals.

Longer

Warlord Academy puts the team you build at the center of the fight. Each round you recruit from a shop of champions, decide which combinations to chase, and place your squad across the front line, the flanks and the back line. Three matching copies merge into a two-star champion, and two two-stars make a three-star centerpiece. When the round begins, the champions fight on their own and your choices play out on the board. The last warlord standing out of eight wins.

Sixty champions across ten factions reward building around a faction, a cost tier, or a single star. Practice against AI opponents at Easy, Normal or Hard, or climb a ranked ladder that resets every month. Warlord Academy is developed independently by Todd Grubbs under GrubbsieDev.
