## What is Swole & Shield?

Your Party has one week per Boss.

Swole & Shield turns your Apple Health activity into damage against a Boss your whole Party fights together. Create a Party, share the invite code, and work through a twelve-Encounter Season.

EFFORT BECOMES DAMAGE
Steps and workouts convert straight to damage — more effort, harder hits. Hit your Daily Goal to heal and earn Renown and silver. Push further for a Potion, and reach your Daily Max for the day's biggest payout.

PICK A ROLE
Choose Tank, Damage, or Support. Each Role has its own effect on the fight. Each day the Boss leans on one Role — get enough Heroes in that Role to hit Goal and the whole Party earns a bonus.

THE BOSS HITS BACK
Every day the Boss lands return fire on your Party. Take too much and you're wounded — no critical hits until you heal back up. Miss your Daily Goal and the Boss heals too.

TEAM BONUS
When everyone in the Party hits their Daily Goal, you earn a Team Bonus: extra damage on top of what you already dealt.

POTIONS AND AID
Effort earns Potions. Use one on yourself, or ask a teammate for Aid when you're hurt and out of stock.

TWO CHESTS
Hit Goal three days in a week and a chest is waiting; five days makes it a Full Chest. A separate daily chest banks silver, Renown, and Potions from every day you play — open it whenever you're ready.

TWELVE WEEKS, TWELVE BOSSES
The Season runs twelve Encounters. Encounters four and eight hit harder and pay better. The twelfth is the Season Finale.

GEAR YOUR HERO
Equip a weapon and armor, and their stats change how your Hero fights. Armor comes in cloth, leather, and plate; weapons run from a dagger to a staff, great sword, battle axe, or halberd. Every piece is common, uncommon, or rare. You start with a basic kit — better gear unlocks as the Season advances, drops from Bosses, or can be bought with silver.

MADE FOR FRIENDS
No public matchmaking, no leaderboard. Swole & Shield works best with the people already in your group chat — invite them with a code and fight the same Boss together.

APPLE HEALTH
Swole & Shield reads steps, workouts, and active energy from Apple Health. Access is read-only — the app never writes anything back. No Apple Watch required.

Daily play takes a few minutes.
