Getting Started

In order to begin playing:

  • Click on "Parties", then "Create a New Party".
  • Select 3 Heroes and customize them.
    • Abilities
      • 1 Ultimate
      • 10 Attacks/Skills
    • Equipment
      • 1 Weapon
      • 1 Armor
      • 1 Trinket
  • Save your party by clicking the save button at the top-right next to the party name.
  • Back on the "Parties" page, select your active party by clicking on the nameplate for it.
  • Click "Let's Go Raiding!" at the top of the page to return to the lobby. You should see your active party
  • Click the "Play" button to enter the queue.
    • Optionally, you may click "Play Immediately" if you wish to skip the queue and play vs the AI instead.

Gameplay Loop

  • Start of turn:
    • Channeled abilities resolve.
    • Power is generated towards charging Ultimates.
    • Life/Energy regeneration occurs.
    • Abilities are drawn. (Default is 2)
    • Cooldowns progress.
      • Any abilities coming off cooldown are Surfaced to the top of their hero's deck.
    • Status effects progress.
  • Main phase:
    • 1 Ability per hero may be played.
      • Abilities with Combo do not count towards this limit.
      • Abilities can be played in any order.
  • End of turn:
    • Abilities that remain in hand are Burried to the BOTTOM of the hero's deck.
    • Status effects progress.

Each match starts with heroes at full Life and Energy. Heroes restore a small amount of Life and/or Energy at the start of turn. Managing these resources is crucial towards success. Greedy deck compositions risk going OOM while waiting to regenerate.

Threat

LGR supports a simple positioning system that is a metaphor for threat. When a hero plays an ability, threat is generated.

  • Aggressive abilities move the hero forward.
  • Defensive abilities move the hero backward.
  • An ability that is neither Aggressive nor Defensive, does not move the hero.

Enemies can only target heroes that are in front of other heroes. This gives opportunity to manage threat and have tanks absorb incoming abilities for squishy backliners.

If two heroes are already Aggressive and one use another Aggressive ability, then they not have more threat and will move in front of the party.

The positioning system also has a spacial element to it. For example, an ability Knockback will push the affected hero backward, effectively giving access otherwise untargetable heroes.

Stealth and Reach and Area abilities are further ways of accessing the backline.

Cooldowns

Heroes draw 2 abilities per turn. Whenever they play an ability, it goes on cooldown. The cooldown represents the number of turns that must pass before the ability is placed back on top of your deck. Because it is place on top of your deck, players can progressively stack their rotations throughout the course of a game.

If an ability has a cooldown of 4. After playing it, the player will notice it is added to the timeline. Each turn, the cooldown will tick. On the 4th turn, it will be on top of the deck. On the 5th turn, generally it be drawn.

An exception to this rule is if multiple abilities come off of cooldown at the same time. When this happens, they are added to deck in the order that they were played.

Ultimates

Ultimates are powerful, unique abilities that define your playstyle. Heroes Empower their ultimates by 1 each turn and whenever playing an ability with Empower. Ultimates become available when the hero is fully Empowered.

When an ultimate is played, they must recharge it before it is available again.

Reserve

At the end of each turn, any abilities remaining are discarded to the bottom of their hero's deck. However, hero's can reserve an ability for a future turn by either right-clicking the ability or left-clicking once and then clicking the "Reserve" action that appears.

To access a reserved ability, simply reserve a different one.

You can’t perform that action at this time.
