Many worlds.
Your legend.

Explore a race or class, then open a hero’s profile for their story, skills and eligible worlds.

Starter heroes are included when you sign in and complete your profile. Earn other heroes by playing an eligible MUD through InkAndAnsi, or purchase an available early unlock. Time accumulates across visits to one eligible game; time from different games is not combined.

Use the loadout to train stats and abilities and equip gear. Arena battles are turn-based duels against live players worldwide. Matchmaking prefers similar hero levels, widening after 15 seconds. Every new PvP duel uses level 10, 20 allocated stat points, standard class gear with no enhancements, and all four abilities at rank 3. Rarity grants no stat bonus. Choose Balanced, Assault or Ward before queueing; every player has all three styles. Class, race and elemental identity remain. These temporary builds never change your collection. Computer battles use your earned levels, training and equipment. If no suitable player is found within 30 seconds, you face a Computer opponent. Live turns last 60 seconds; two consecutive missed turns forfeit. Canceling before a match refunds the reserved charge. Choose actions yourself or use Auto-battle, set your pace, and use earned XP and resources to develop your champion.

PvP Ansi Points and the 3% defeated-hero unlock chance require at least three combat actions from each player. Only the first three qualifying duels against the same account in a rolling 24 hours award these rewards. Further rematches still earn combat XP. Changing heroes does not reset the limit.

Earn XP for taking combat actions, landing hits, damage dealt relative to your opponent’s maximum health, effective skills and actual healing. Combat earns up to 20 XP, with a 5 XP victory bonus. Defeat and draws keep earned XP; retreat keeps 50%, rounded down. Every battle is eligible. Category caps prevent stalling and healing loops from farming XP; overkill adds nothing. XP boosts double the final reward. Level costs rise by 60 XP per level: 60 to reach level 2, 120 more for level 3, and 600 from level 10 to 11.
