Core Gameplay & Systems

Each match revolves around controlling space, timing attacks, and managing pressure.

Players select a character before entering a match. Characters differ in stats and abilities, which shapes how they approach combat and map control. During a match, players move across the map, engage enemies, and push toward the opposing Hearth while defending their own.

The gameplay loop can be summarized as:

• Enter a match

• Apply pressure using your character’s strengths

• React to enemy positioning and attacks

• Push forward or defend based on the situation

• Attempt to destroy the enemy Hearth before time runs out

The design favors active play. There is no benefit to standing still or waiting for automated outcomes. Success comes from positioning, awareness, and adapting to your opponent.
