What is Krosmaga?
It's an online collectible card game where you embody a god! You'll therefore have colossal power in your hands, with the ability to cast spells and summon creatures or famous characters from the World of Twelve.

In Krosmaga, you can create your own deck which fits you, and which can even develop with you! It's just enough to tickle your competitive spirit.
Game concept
In Krosmaga, you have a double objective: you have to capture your opponent's Dofus (a dragon egg which gives its owner extraordinary powers) while protecting yours! That's not too complicated.




To protect your Dofus, you'll have to put together your deck in a strategic way. And to do that, you have two types of cards: Minions (to summon an army to help you) and Spells (to... uh... cast spells)!


MINION CARD

Once cast on the game board, Minions live their life. They advance and they attack at the end of their turn, as they see fit, and in style! Because style's important, especially when you're getting ready to play with gods.






SPELL CARD

Each god has specific powers that allow them to cast spells.












INFINITE CARD

There are also Infinite cards, which are the cream of the crop! Not only do these cards let you summon the biggest heroes in the Krosmoz, they also… evolve! Each Infinite card has three levels. It's up to you to level them up!

The Battlefield


1 - YOUR DOFUS

Of the five Dofus present on your side of the board, only three are real Dragon eggs (the fake Dofus are the transparent ones). A sneaky way to lure your opponents in, no? Each Dofus has 5 Health Points. As soon as you manage to inflict 5 damage on an enemy Dofus, it is revealed. You'll have to discover two real enemy Dofus to win the game.

2 - ENEMY DOFUS

They're all hidden. So you'll need to guess which ones are the real Dofus!

3 - YOUR MINIONS

As terrifying as they are, your Minions cannot act during the turn that they appear on the field; they need a little bit of time to prepare (except those with "Charge", of course). Once placed on the field, they live their life as they see fit!

4 - YOUR HAND

At the start of the round, each player discovers which 3 cards will form their starting hand. Here, you'll have to make a choice: you can decide to change one or more of them, or to keep them all. Everything depends on how lucky you are… If you play second, you'll be given an extra card.

Be careful: during the match, you can have up to 10 cards in your hand, and not a single one more. If you cannot draw an extra card, it will go directly into your discard pile!

5 - YOUR ACTION POINTS (AP)

You'll receive an amount of AP equal to the turn number: on turn 1, you get 1, and on turn 2, you get 2, etc…
And it's these AP that will allow you to play your cards. So carefully choose the cards that you will play depending on their AP cost!

6 - YOUR DRAW PILE (DECK) AND YOUR DISCARD PILE

At the start of the game, your deck contains 45 cards. When you get a new card, it comes from your draw pile, and when you play it, it goes in your discard pile!

7 - YOUR GOD AND THE OPPENENT'S GOD

Note that in Krosmaga, you embody a god! The one you choose will grant you very specific powers: their spells, but also certain creatures that are faithful to them. Choose wisely.

8 – HISTORY

All of your actions and your opponent's are noted here. It can always be helpful if you're the forgetful type and you're wondering "Have I already played this card?".





PRISMS

When a Minion occupies a cell containing a Prism, it is collected by the owner of the Minion.


+1 AP Prism: adds 1 AP to the player's reserve. When a player wants to use the AP in their reserve, they add the entirety of the reserve to their global AP count.





Draw a Card Prism: The player draws the first card of their deck and adds it to their hand.




Curse Prism: the player receives a Curse Card directly in their hand. This card costs 3 AP and inflicts 1 point of damage on an enemy Dofus of your choosing. Be careful: Curse Cards count toward the limit on the number of cards in your hand.
Gods and collection
In Krosmaga, you can use the powers of 8 different gods. Each one has their own playing style and cards, which no other god may use. Try all of them to find out which divinity suits you best!
To unlock a god, go to Training mode (Play > Training) and win a match with the god of your choice. As a reward, you'll receive that god's starting deck, and from then on, you'll be able to play it in all game modes!


If you'd like a preview of the gods and their power, have a look on the official website[www.krosmaga.com].


EXPAND YOUR COLLECTION

There are three types of packs of cards:
  • Bronze containing 5 cards, including at least 1 Rare;
  • Silver containing 5 cards, including at least 1 Krosmic;
  • Gold containing 5 cards, including at least 1 Infinite.


There are many ways for you to improve your collection of cards:
  • Via the quests offered directly in-game.
  • Via Ecaflip's Krosmic Roulette – every day you log in to the game, you'll receive a token. Play this token directly in the roulette, and with a bit of luck, you'll receive a pack of cards!
  • Via the Shop, by buying kamas using your Steam Wallet.
Ranked and Non-ranked mode
Krosmaga's two main game modes are hidden behind the Play button.

  • In Non-Ranked mode, you can play freely against other players, using your decks. There are no rankings or stakes in these matches, although you can use them to complete your offering quests and Ecaflip's challenges at your leisure.

  • In Ranked mode, you'll face other players in a competitive atmosphere: winning matches will increase your rank. You start at rank 1, and the highest rank you can reach is rank 30. Up to rank 6, your rank cannot decrease, even if you lose lots of matches. But be careful: beyond rank 6, you'll need to defend your title, because if you lose too many matches, you'll slip back down the ranks! As soon as you reach rank 30, you become a "Veteran", and at that point, you'll start facing the best players in Krosmaga.


Ranked mode takes places in "seasons", each lasting one month. At the end of each month, you'll receive a chest containing exclusive rewards, depending on the highest rank you reached during the season!
Dungeon mode
Dungeon mode lets you face Rushu – the terrible master of the Shushus – in frenzied fights. Rushu has very powerful cards, and won't hesitate to change the rules of the game to give himself the upper hand. But we know you're cleverer than a Shushu, so with a bit of careful thought, you'll be able to win!

Playing in Dungeon mode costs kamas for every attempt, and it's recommended you know the game a little before you get started. In return, you can win this mode's exclusive cards, which can then be added to all of your decks!
Useful info
  • Limit on the number of cards in hand: a player may not have more than 10 cards in their hand. When you've reached the limit, any new cards you receive are automatically discarded.

  • Prism appearance: Prisms reappear at the start of the next turn as soon as they've all been collected (either by one of your Minions or by an enemy Minion, because enemy Minions can be very sneaky, and come and steal a prism from you).

  • Dofus destruction effects: when a player destroys a fake Dofus, they can play their Minions on the second row on their side. The third row will be unlocked if two Fake Dofus are destroyed.

  • Deck building: your deck can contain up to 3 copies of a common card, but only 1 copy of any Infinite or Krosmic cards. Additionally, your deck may not contain more than 5 Infinite cards in total.

A good guide to cover the basics of the game for people who are perhaps still unclear, and very well organised and written. Well done. :davey:

Very basic info which I figured out myself within an hour or two. How about a good guide on deck-building. E.g. ideas of spell-to-minion ratios or types of decks, or help for draft mode deck-creating.
