Horizon Forge | Battle

📖 How To Play — Horizon Forge

🎯 Objective

Win most battles in a duel to advance. In Best of 3, win 2 battles. In Best of 5, win 3. The opponent keeps the same army for the whole duel — analyze it before building yours.

💰 Gold

🏁

Each duel starts with 7💰.

⚔️

Between battles you receive gold automatically — both players receive the same amount each round.

🔄

New Recruitment costs 2💰.

⛺ Recruitment & Bench

🆕

Buying a character you don't own yet costs 3💰. They go straight to the Barracks.

🔗

Buying a character you already own costs 2💰 and stacks on the same card — each hero uses only 1 slot in the Barracks.

🖱️

Drag a card from Barracks to a field slot, or click it then click the slot.

✨ Card Merging

⭐

Stack 3 copies of the same character to auto-merge — they level up (★ → ★★ → ★★★...) and become much more powerful.
