Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a purely turn-based card game may hit a wall when battles require real-time troop deployment and spell casting.
- Players seeking a small, focused card pool may find the 162 cards, 11 teams, 20 enchants, 40 masteries, and 65 relics difficult to manage.
- Players looking for a non-fantasy setting may not fit the Dark Legion, warriors, and monster-invasion premise.
- Players who do not want competitive features may have little use for Daily Mode.
