Champions

Units you recruit for your team, each with unique abilities and belonging to specific traits. These units have different gold costs from 1 to 6, being rarer and more powerful the more expensive they are. If you find multiple copies of the same champion, you can pair them together, essentially leveling them up, and making them stronger in the process. You can do this up to 3 stars (some rare cases like with augments or anomalies, it is possible to make them 4 stars).

Traits

Special characteristics that grant bonuses when multiple champions of the same trait are on your board. The more champions share the same trait on your board, the stronger its effect is. There are some unique traits though, that you can unlock by choosing an augment or one that requires only one specific unit to function.

Items

Equipable gear that enhances champions by boosting stats or granting effects. Items can be combined to create stronger versions, and there are also a couple of special items that have unique properties, which can be obtained via augments.

Augments

Special upgrades that enhance your team in unique ways such as offering buffs, economy boosts, more or rarer items, more units or reshaping champions abilities. Augments have 3 tiers: Silver, Gold and Prismatic, the first having the weakest effect and the latter having the most. Depending on what augments you get shapes how you play each match.

Anomalies

The Anomaly is a unique mechanic introduced in the current set, that grants a specific champion (one that the player chooses) a unique effect, making them stronger or changing how they function. They are a core part of the game, and strategically, you would want to use this on your main character of the match.

Encounters

Special in-game events featuring interactions with Arcane characters, offering unique choices, rewards, or challenges at the beginning of the game that can change the flow of how the match will go.
