In Coven Clash, you are a wizard and the world is your domain. The monsters are real and they're waiting. Magic is stronger together, so gather your friends into a Coven. Your rivals wait to challenge you in duels in the Arena. As your power grows, you unlock more powerful spells but you also face more powerful foes. Explore the World Your location in the game determines which monsters you encounter and which wizards you meet. Travel to new cities around the world to face regional creatures drawn from local legend, whether Celtic spirits in the British Isles, cryptids across North America, or Mesoamerican myths in Mexico. Cities and sites around the world are ready for you to explore. Battle and Survive Combat is fast and strategic. Cast offensive spells to deal damage, defensive shields to absorb monster attacks, or Miscellaneous magic to stun and distract your enemies. Your mana is both your power and your life; spend it wisely! Duels: Challenge Your Rivals (and Friends) The Arena provides you an opportunity to duel real people, whether your friends or rivals, in your current location. Defeat your opponents to earn experience and money. Craft Your Wand You begin with one of the five affinities: Air, Earth, Fire, Void, or Water. As you gain experience, your arcane power grows and you have the ability to craft wands that augment those powers. Choose a wand material and a core to craft wands that boost your affinity. The more powerful the monster, the more powerful the wand components they can drop. Join a Coven Find or found a Coven of up to 100 wizards. Share items through the Coven Chest, coordinate through Coven Chat, and lend mana to members trapped in Limbo. Covens grow in influence as their members level up and complete quests. Covens also compete to control mystical sites around the world. You can only control 4 at a time, so choose wisely, and watch out because other covens might be eyeing your prizes. Quest for Greater Rewards Take on quests ranging from a single encounter to five-battle Nightmare runs with increased treasure drop rates. Use mana gems you can purchase in the store to regenerate your mana between encounters. A World That Grows With the Players As the player base grows, new locations and sites unlock across the globe, expanding the world of Coven Clash alongside its community. Your adventure awaits. Features: * Join your friends in a Coven and control mystical sites like Stonehenge or Machu Picchu * Duel real players in the Arena * Over 450 monsters from fantasy and mythology * Over 500 locations available, from large cities to smaller regional capitals * A dynamic and growing world as the player base expands Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://ottovon.com/privacy-policy
