Learn how to control and manage your troops effectively in this guide.
Your control panel contains several important buttons: Deploy (bottom), Heal and Boost (center), and an Info guide (top). Each serves a crucial function in managing your units.
The large green circle at the bottom is your Deploy button. Click it to place new units on the battlefield. This is your primary way of building your army.
In the center panel, you have two key abilities:
Heal (♥): Select an injured unit and press Heal to restore their health.
Boost (⚡): Increases unit energy for special actions.
Remember: Every action consumes energy, so manage your resources wisely!
The "i" button at the top right will open this guide anytime you need to review the controls. Use it to refresh your memory about game mechanics and unit management.
Units can be assigned different states:
- Attack: Click unit, select attack, then click target unit.
- Defend: Holds position and engages nearby enemies.
- Patrol: Guards an area in a repeated pattern.
- Stealth: Moves quietly, harder to detect.
To move a unit:
- Select your unit.
- Look for the crosshair cursor (+).
- Click the destination.
IMPORTANT: Each movement costs energy. Plan your moves carefully and avoid long distances in single moves.
Your troops will be marked with insignias based on your home base:
- RadiantShores
- Ironforge
