Welcome to Crown Clash

Six short steps and you'll know the whole game: how to read a card, what the stats do, how targeting really works, and then a safe practice duel where nothing can go wrong. Skip ahead or exit any time — the menu will be right where you left it.

• 1 · Anatomy of a card — every label on a fighter card, explained.
• 2 · What the stats mean — damage, speed, defense, pips, guards.
• 3 · Rounds & phases — DRAW → WAITING → BATTLE → END, 8 rounds.
• 4 · Targeting rules — you aim… unless the Giant or Kev says otherwise.
• 5 · Guided test game — a 1-on-1 practice duel, coached step by step.

1 · Anatomy of a Card

KASHDREAM TEAM

LV3

HP

100/100

PIPS

5/7

★ BOLT FROM THE STORM

PWR 11 · SPD 11 · DEF 11

GUARD 🛡×1

• Name + DREAM TEAM bar — who's fighting, and which roster they belong to (the enemy wears CASP colors).
• Level / edition badge — LV1 BASE, LV2 SUPERCHARGED, LV3 LEGENDARY. Level-Ups raise it mid-fight: stats climb and the picture itself evolves into the higher edition's art.
• Portrait — the fighter's art for their current edition.
• HP bar — health out of 100. Green is safe, yellow is hurt, red is critical. At zero, the fighter is K.O.'d.
• PIPS — the charge meter under HP. Attacking earns +1 pip; being targeted earns +1 (once per round); passing a turn charges DOUBLE (+2 pips). A full meter means the ultimate is ready.
• ULTIMATE name — the ★ line: this fighter's ultimate move and what it costs in pips (Kash at LV3 needs 7).
• POWER / SPEED / DEFENSE — the three fighting stats. Next step puts them to work.
• Guard pips — the 🛡 count: how many times this fighter can still Guard for an ally this fight.
• Level frame & aura — higher editions wear a brighter, animated aura frame. LV3 LEGENDARY literally glows.

2 · What the Stats Mean

• POWER drives damage. Kash at POWER 11 hits a DEFENSE 8 target for 3×11 − 8 = 25 before any bonuses.
• SPEED sets the turn order — fastest fighter acts first each round — and earns the +3 Outspeed bonus when you beat the target's SPEED by 3+.
• DEFENSE is subtracted from every hit you take. High-DEF fighters shrug off weak attacks (damage never drops below the game's floor).
• HP is 100 for every fighter. Lose it all and you're K.O.'d; win by K.O.'ing the whole enemy team.
• PIPS charge ultimates. +1 pip when you attack, +1 when you're targeted (once per round), and passing your turn charges DOUBLE — +2 pips. Each ultimate has its own price — when the PIPS meter is full and glowing, the ULTIMATE button lights up (never in Round 1).
• GUARD — when a hit is aimed at your fighter, an ally with guard pips left can step in and take the hit on their DEFENSE instead, turning a huge hit into a small one. Guards are limited per fight, so spend them on the hits that matter.

3 · Rounds, Phases & Your Hand

• A fight lasts up to 8 ROUNDS. Every round runs the same four phases in order:
• ① DRAW — you draw exactly 1 support card per round into your SUPPORT HAND.
• ② WAITING — play your cards here, before anyone swings: set up to 1 trap face-down into a trap/magic slot (it arms for next round — Round 1 sets are armed right away), play up to 2 magic, and level a fighter up. Level-Up Exchange lives here too.
• ③ BATTLE — fighters act in SPEED order. On your fighter's turn: ATTACK, PASS, or fire a charged ULTIMATE. Traps spring during Battle when their trigger hits.
• ④ END — poison, burn and end-of-round effects tick, giants and buffs count down, and the next round begins.
• Support hand — traps, magic and Level-Ups. The enemy draws and plays by the exact same rules.

4 · Targeting Rules

• NORMAL — you aim. Tap ATTACK, then tap the enemy you want to hit. Single-target ultimates work the same way: tap ULTIMATE, then tap your target.
• 🪨 ROCK GIANT on the field — forced. While an enemy Rock Giant stands, single-target attacks AND ultimates automatically hit the Giant. You never have to click the Giant: press ATTACK or fire your ultimate and it lands on the Giant by itself.
• ⚑ KEV in his ultimate status — forced. When Kev fires his ultimate, his TAUNT goes live: the next attack against his team auto-locks onto Kev, ultimates included, no click on Kev needed. Kev just standing there is NOT a lock — only his live ult/taunt status is.
• BOTH at once — the old ruling. A live Kev taunt beats the Rock Giant for that ONE attack: the hit goes to Kev, the taunt is spent, and from the next attack on, the Giant blocks the way again.
• These are game rules, not suggestions — they bind the computer exactly the same way they bind you.

5 · Guided Test Game

Time to feel it. You'll coach KASH through a safe 1-on-1 practice duel against a TRAINING BOT. The coach at the bottom tells you exactly what to tap at each step: draw, attack a target you choose, guard, pass, and finish with a full-screen ultimate. There's no way to lose and no trap — exit any time with the button up top.

TRAINING BOT

90/90 HP · PWR 6 · SPD 5 · DEF 5

KASH — LV3 LEGENDARY

100/100 HP · PWR 11 · SPD 11 · DEF 11

PIPS 5/7 · ★ BOLT FROM THE STORM

Coach: let's begin.

🃏 DRAW ⚔ ATTACK 🛡 GUARD ⏸ PASS ★ ULTIMATE

🏆 You're Ready

You read a card, ran the phases, aimed your own attacks, guarded, passed, and fired a full-screen ultimate. That's the whole game — the rest is drafting your three and out-playing the other side.

One last thing to remember: aim your hits yourself — unless a Rock Giant is standing or Kev's taunt is live. Then the game aims for you, and it aims at them.
