Mastering the Art of War:

The event starts with helpful tutorials. Here's the core gameplay:

Before each wargame, strategically select your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have diverse roles (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).

Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust yours using the bottom-right effectiveness icons. Remember, changing your units costs Reinforcement Points – use them wisely!

Unit types explained:

  • Melee: High damage absorption, slow speed.
  • Ranged: Long-range attacks, low health.
  • AoE DMG: Damages multiple units.
  • Flying: Immune to ground attacks.

Upgrade units for increased effectiveness by selecting the same unit for subsequent rounds. Refresh units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions play a crucial role – strategize accordingly!
