Gameplay takes place on a hex-based grid between two opposing players, or a players versus NPC, with core gameplay being 1v1 PvP. Each player has a champion. By widdling the champion's health to zero a player wins, and does so by summoning minions and spells onto a hex-grid map.

Discover live Twitch matches through the game's overworld, and verse players streaming or complete Twitch specific objectives and content.
