How it plays
Plan the turn. Land the hit.
-
IBuild up, then cash in
Your hand is your moveset. Builder cards bank Momentum. Play three Builders, or bank six Momentum, and Release opens. What you banked does two jobs: it sets how much you can play in Release, and it multiplies every hit.
-
IIAim every strike
In Release, you drag each attack onto a weak spot that drifts across the enemy. Crown, Core and Root each pay off differently. The marks speed up as time runs out. Miss the body and the hit loses most of its damage.
Crown
Core
Root

IIISwear an oath of ink
At the Curator, you swear to one of three Ink Currents. Crimson hits harder. Pale holds the line. Mire weakens and poisons. Your oath shapes how every fight opens. Fill your Crest and it fires four cards from your deck, then the Current's own finisher.
