Skyweaver - A Trading Card Game from Another Dimension

Cards

SUMMON MIGHTY UNITS AND WEAVE SPELLS

SUMMON MIGHTY UNITS AND
WEAVE SPELLS

Unit Cards

Units are your allies in battle. Units will remain in play until they run out of health or are removed by some other effect. Units can’t attack the same turn that they are played. They enter play “sleeping” and need a turn to get ready to attack.

Spell Cards

Spells provide immediate one-use effects. Spells can often allow you to damage or destroy your opponent's Units, or strengthen your own.

Battling

Take Direct Command of Battle

Take Direct Command
of Battle

In Skyweaver, you take center stage! Your Hero leads your Units into battle, fighting directly against enemies and helping to change the tide of combat! Defeat the enemy Hero to claim victory.

Spells

Cast Unique Attached Spells

Your Units and Hero can carry their own Spell cards, allowing for amazing combinations and diverse strategies. Play Units and use their Spells immediately, or save them for a tactical advantage later.

Unit Traits

Take Advantage of Unique Traits

Take Advantage of
Unique Traits

Within Skyweaver, there are six Unique Traits that Units can possess, each has a unique and potent effect on how combat between Units and Heroes is conducted.

Units with Guard have a shield shaped frame, and protect your Hero from attacks, making them an indispensable frontline defense.

Units with Stealth have a hazy aura, and cannot be attacked unless their Hero has been damaged by a Unit or Spell in the same turn, making them tricky to deal with.

Units with Banner have a bright glow. Each Unit you control with Banner gives your Hero +1 power, letting them dominate the field of battle!

Units with Armor have a shield around their health, and take one less damage from everything, making them very durable and challenging to defeat!

Units with Lifesteal have a pink aura around their power. When a Unit with Lifesteal damages the enemy Hero, your Hero will gain that much health, making them an invaluable means of keeping your Hero in the fight!

Units with Wither have a purple aura around their power. When a Unit with Wither damages a Unit, it will reduce that Unit's power as well as its health, making Wither Units a fantastic tool both offensively and defensively.

Spell Traits

Spells Can Have Traits too

Spells can also have traits, giving them special abilities, just like Units, that can quickly swing a game in your favor!

Effects

Wield Powerful Abilities

Units in Skyweaver can also have powerful abilites that activate when certain conditions are met. Understanding how best to utilize these powers is key in achieving victory!

When a Unit with a Play effect is played from hand, its Play effect will activate, similar to a Spell, often immediately changing the tide of battle. A Unit’s Play effect will not activate if it enters play in another way though, so watch out!

When a Unit with a Summon effect enters play, its Summon effect will activate. Units’ Summon effects can activate even when they enter play from places other than the hand, allowing for powerful combos!

When a Unit with a Death effect dies and enters the Graveyard, its Death effect will activate. Death effects can be great means of setting up defenses and traps for your opponents to fall into.

A Unit’s Inspire effect will trigger after you play a card that matches its Inspire effect. Inspire Effects can trigger multiple times per turn, allowing for some incredible combos!

When a Unit with a Glory effect attacks and damages the enemy Hero, its Glory effect will activate! Glory effects can quickly snowball and give their user a huge advantage, so watch out!

A Unit’s Sunset effect will trigger at the end of its player's turn. The fact that Sunset effects are both reliable and repeatable makes them a serious threat.

A Unit’s Sunrise effect will trigger at the start of its player's turn. Sunrise effects can be tricky to make work, as the Unit needs to survive for a turn to get the effect to work, but the rewards are often worth it!

Enchants

ENCHANT YOUR ALLIES AND FOES

Within Skyweaver, there are 16 unique enchantments that can be attached to Heroes and Units to empower or weaken them.

roots

A Unit with Roots attached cannot attack. You can remove Roots by paying three mana.

anima

When Anima is removed from a Unit, or overwritten by a new Enchant or Spell, it will give that Unit +2 power and health. You can remove Anima by paying four mana.

frostbite

A Unit with Frostbite attached takes two additional damage from everything, making it very vulnerable. Frostbite can be removed by paying four mana

vapors

When a Unit’s attached Vapors is removed from a Unit, or overwritten by a new Enchant or Spell, its Hero will gain +2 health and draw a card.

dazed

A Unit with Dazed attached will be put to sleep at the start of its Player’s turn, and be unable to attack that turn, even if Dazed is later removed, making Dazed a reliable defensive option. Dazed can be removed by paying one mana.

barrier

The first time a Unit with Barrier attached would take damage from a non-combat source, like a Spell or Unit effect, the damage will be prevented, and its Barrier will be Dusted (removed from the game).

blind

A Unit with Blind attached can only attack its right most enemy, severely limiting its options in combat. Blind can be removed by paying 5 mana.

shield

The first time a Unit with Shield attached would take combat damage from a Hero or Unit attack, the damage will be prevented, and its Shield will be Dusted.

flames

A Unit with Flames attached will take 2 damage at the start of its Player’s turn, potentially destroying it before it can counterattack! Flames can be removed by paying two mana.

fury

When a Unit with Fury attached attacks and damages the enemy Hero, it will gain +1 power and health, its player will draw a 1 cost card, and then the Fury will be Dusted.

chains

A Unit with Chains attached has all its Traits, like Armor and Guard, disabled. Chains is a very flexible enchant with many applications, like breaking through Guard Units, revealing Stealth Units, and breaking Armor.

lead

While attached to a Unit, Lead cannot be removed or replaced by other attached Spells or enchants, and also prevents the Unit it is attached to from being Dusted. This makes Lead a valuable means of protecting your Death effect Units and ensuring their Death effects can activate.

hex

A Unit with Hex attached will take 6 damage at the end of its player’s turn, and the Hex will be Dusted. While this does give the Unit’s player a chance to safely remove Hex first, it costs six mana to do so, making it an expensive task.

fate

When a Unit with Fate attached dies, its player will draw a card of that Unit’s element. With proper planning, Fate can be an incredible means of drawing the card you need, when you need it.

silence

A Unit with Silence attached loses all its abilites, like Death and Inspire, but not Traits like Banner, Armor, Etc. Silence is most often used to shut down dangerous enemy Death effects.

shroud

A Unit with Shroud attached cannot be targeted by any of the enemy player’s Spells or Play effects, though it can still be attacked. However, Shroud only lasts for one turn before being dusted, making it a powerful temporary defense.

Prisms

CHOOSE YOUR PRISMS

The cards your deck uses are defined by the Hero you choose, and their Prisms. You can combine any two Prisms in the game together, but can’t combine more than two at once, so choosing the Prisms that best suit your deck and playstyle is title!

strength Prism

The Strength Prism embodies both physical might and unbreakable spirit. At their best, Strength Skyweavers are valiant protectors. At their worst, they may become bullies or overlords.

agility Prism

The Agility Prism embodies freedom and individuality. At their best, Agility skyweavers defend the freedom of all. At their worst, they can become hedonistic and self-centered.

wisdom Prism

The Wisdom prism embodies understanding and being at one with all of Sky. At their best, Wisdom Skyweavers are great mentors and teachers. At their worst, they can become cold and aloof, withdrawing from the world.

heart Prism

The Heart Prism embodies ‘The Cycle’ of Life, Death and Rebirth. At their best, Heart Skyweavers seek to work with the Cycle to heal and support the living. At their worst, they can seek to use the cycle for their own ends.

intellect Prism

The Intellect Prism embodies the Pursuit of Knowledge and Improvement. At their best, Intellect Skyweavers strive to improve the lives of all through their genius. At their worst, they can become blinded by ambitions.

HEROES

CHOOSE YOUR HEROES

The cards your deck uses are defined by the Hero you choose, and their Prisms. You can combine any two Prisms in the game together, but can’t combine more than two at once, so choosing the Prisms that best suit your deck and playstyle is title!

you in battle

Decks

Build an Entirely Unique Deck

Skyweaver is a singleton game, so you don’t have to worry about collecting multiple copies of the same card! Each card in your deck is entirely unique, making individual card choices more important than ever!

The Arena

Game Interface

Your Mana, which you can use to play cards. At the start of each of your turns, you’ll gain a maximum mana and refill your mana to full.

Player's Graveyards. All destroyed Units and Spells the Heroes cast go here. You can view a list of all your dead cards by clicking on your Graveyard (at the bottom) or pressing G.

The cards you have available to play. Cards that you have the mana to play will have a green glow, showing that they can currently be played. You can hold up to nine cards in hand. If you draw more than that, your left-most card in hand will be returned to your deck.

Player's Heroes. Each has attack power (left value) and health (right value), and they can attack directly and take damage. Heroes do not counterattack, unlike Units. If your Hero ever reaches zero health, you are defeated.

Player's decks. You’ll draw a card from your pile each turn, and your opponent will do the same. You can click on your deck at any time to see what cards are still left in it (or use the D hotkey).

Adjust volume, graphics, and other game settings.

Your end turn button, used to pass turn to the opponent when you’re done. It will also glow when you have no possible actions left available in a turn, letting you know it's safe to end your turn.

Units and Heroes can have attached Spells. You can click and drag an attached Spell off a Unit or Hero to cast it, provided you have the mana available.
