Warband Trail

Lead a growing warband down a monster-haunted road, drafting a new companion with every handful of kills.

About Warband Trail

Lead a small warband down a dangerous forest road. Companions follow while you move and form protective rings when you stop. Between fights, draft cards to recruit allies, train them or change your tactics.

How to play

Goal: Lead your warband down the trail and defeat the warden waiting at its end.
How it ends: The run is won when the warden falls and lost when your hero falls; companions can fall without ending it.
Record: Personal best score and fastest win per trail, hero and Heat. Fresh, uninterrupted runs enter verified Top 10 on matching keep-upgrade boards.

Drag anywhere (or hold WASD / the arrow keys) to march; let go to halt and the warband forms its rings.
Walk over embers, or let them drift to you, to fill the draft bar; pick one of three cards when it fills.
Tap, press Space or the round button to use your hero's ability. Fill the horn, reach the lit waystone, and beat the warden.
