Flawed Tactics

From the Devs

Flawed Tactics is an async and live PvP auto-battler with a unique mechanic: a live market that automatically balances the game.

Every minion and spell has a price - and that price changes based on what every player on the server is buying. Popular choices get more expensive. Ignored options get cheaper. No patch notes needed. The market does it automatically, for every player, every game.

There's no such thing as a permanently overpowered strategy here. The moment everyone starts copying your build, it starts costing more than they can afford.

The deeper you go, the more Flawed Tactics opens up:

• Evolve — combine minions to unlock their most powerful form.  Focus on synergies with other minions to create a team that scales over time and supports each other in battle.

• Spells— make your minions vampiric, give them haste, convert an enemy to a pacifist or just steal the minion outright.  Spells are a critical element to the strategy and survival is not possible without mastery.

• Relics — created by spells they offer permanent benefits for the remainder of the game. Some give you an extra minion slot. Some alter how your entire roster fights. Some provide scale late game, but only if you can survive the early rounds.

• The shifting meta — because prices update in real time, your next build may need to adjust. The best tacticians aren't the ones who find the strongest combo. They're the ones who spot what's undervalued right now.

Before the first round begins, you make two key decisions:

• Your minion pool - choose 8 minions that will form your roster. Every random offer in the buy phase draws from your pool, not a shared one. Less chaos. More intent.

• Your spell pool - choose 8 spells. Some buff your minions, some curse your enemies, some create permanent relics that reshape your whole strategy.

Each round, spend gold to recruit minions and gems to cast spells. Combine identical minions to evolve them into more powerful forms.  Cast spells to increase scaling or just survive the round.

Then position your team on the hex grid. Watch them fight. And plan your next move.

Async PvP - Take your time. Browse the market. Cast your spells. There's no turn timer breathing down your neck. Face the ghost teams of real players who played this same round, then move on when you're ready.

Live PvP - Play in real time. Your opponent is watching your formation right now. Every spell you cast, every minion you position - they see it. Counter or be countered.

Both modes available at the same time - queue for Live while playing Async.  When the Live PvP game is complete, pick up right where you left off in your Async PvP game.
