Each kind of battle keeps its own five.
Battle
The tower
One creature can meet more than one of these.
The climb runs while you watch it. Locking the phone or switching app pauses the fight — it carries on when you come back.
Everything counts — XP, gold, and every board.
Sparring
A practice fight. Nothing is lost and nothing is taken — not your creatures, not anyone else's.
Turn your phone sideways to fight.
Glossary
Your team
Five creatures. The first two stand in front and take the hits; the other three are behind them. Hold one and drag it onto another to swap them.
