Questions before the gate opens

  • Is it free to play?

    Yes. Every warlord, stone, item and mode can be earned through play; paying only saves time. Stones can also be bought, with odds and pity rates published. Ads are optional rewarded videos, never forced.

  • Which factions are playable at launch?

    Seven, with 120 warlords: the Skyward Order, Crown Lancers, Stoneback Giants, Tuskbound, Night Veil, Ashen Legion and Gearwrights. The other nine open one a month from April 2027 to December 2027.
