THE FOUR ELEMENTS. Each card corresponds to a character that belongs to one of the four elements – Water, Fire, Air or Earth. The elements inflict increased damage to each other according to the ancient canon: water extinguishes fire, fire burns the air, air blows off the earth and the earth fills up the water. At the same time, weak damage acts in the reverse order: for example, fire cards inflict only half of the possible damage to water ones. Thus, you need to maintain the balance of the elements in your deck. HEROES AND CARDS. Each card depicts a unique animated hero, with his own element and strength. The higher the power of the card, the more effective it is in battle. The power of the card can be increased by absorbing other cards of the same element. Get to know the main cards in the game and their elements: - Fire-breathing dragon (fire) - Orc Shaman (fire) - Fire witch (fire) - Dwarf with a gun (Earth) - Forest Witch (Earth) - Earth Golem (Earth) - Gin (air) - Air Elemental (air) - Golden Dragon (air) - Junga Arya (water) - Wyvern (water) - Water Elemental (water) GENEROUS REWARD.
