Know each unit's role
A role's two halves, and how each job gains mana and fights.
After this lesson you can read a unit's role and know where it stands and how it casts.
What a role is
Every unit has a role in two halves, such as Magic Tank: the first half is its damage type and the second is its job. Many unit cards show the role, and you can right-click a unit to read its card. Every unit also has a mana bar, and when the bar is full, the unit casts its ability.
Picture of the game
Play with the picture. Press Attack or Magic, then press each job to see where it stands.
Question 1 of 3
In a real game
Right-click a unit in the shop to read its role before you buy it.
Count your front-line units, because tanks and fighters protect everyone behind them.
A caster can be slow to cast at the start of a fight, but its mana keeps filling.
Specialists are unusual, so read their ability before you place them.
Try this next game: before you place a new unit, read its role and stand it where that role belongs.
Watch out for this
Filling your board with back-line units only leaves nothing in front to take the hits, so your damage dealers fall first. Put tanks or fighters in front of them instead.
