Players are able to customize and alter their decks to fit their playing style. Each player has the ability to buy different Heroes from the merchant screen in-game. There are currently 32 Heroes in the digital game. These include Warrior, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Hunter, Wulven, and Elemental. There are different types of Heroes as well. Resources refresh every turn, allowing players to accumulate Resources over the duration of the match. Each card has a summoning cost at the top left, and this number represents how many cards must have been sacrificed total, called Resources, in order to summon that card into play. Each turn, the player has an option to sacrifice a card to add to their Resource pool. Shadow Era uses a Resource system to cover the summoning cost of every card. Shadow Crystals can be sent between players, but Gold cannot currently be shared with others. Shadow Crystals can be used to purchase name changes, booster packs, class decks, as well as card sleeves and playmats. Gold can be used to purchase new cards from the in-game merchant. Shadow Crystals can be acquired by leveling up either your Hero level or your account level, and by purchasing from the in-game store for real money. Gold can be collected from winning matches in Rated, ranking in the weekly Meltdown ladder, and selling cards to the in-game merchant. You are not allowed to keep the Hero or the cards used in Meltdown.Ĭurrencies within the game include Gold and Shadow Crystals. Class and Faction restrictions are removed for Meltdown. Meltdown is a game mode where you pick four random booster packs, pick one of the Heroes that came in those packs, build a deck with the cards from the packs, and play a match using it. Unrated matches do not increase your rating, although you are allowed to make private matches with or without a password. In Rated matches, you are paired up with another human player. New game modes have also been unveiled, such as Rated matches, Unrated matches, and Meltdown. (Exclusions exist when playing the AI in the digital version). A deck must contain a minimum of 39 cards and 1 Hero. Cards classed as ‘Neutral’ can be used by any Hero. Shadow Era currently consists of 5 in-game sets: Call of the Crystals, Dark Prophecies, Shattered Fates, Lost Lands Part 1, and Campaigns.Ī player may only include cards in their deck that match the ‘Faction’ and ‘Class’ of the Hero they are using.

A Hero will also lose 1 health for each card they are unable to draw when their deck is empty. Heroes can lose life when they are dealt 'damage' by being attacked with summoned allies, abilities and weapons. Players win the game when they reduce the opponents health to 0. Each player has a Hero which starts with 26-30 health. The game Shadow Era is currently played between two players.
