Primary Challenges

Weapons Make The Warrior

Start with glorious equipment empowered by Malicka's magics.

Covenant Rank: 1

Primary ClanAllied ClanPyre Heart
Banished/FelPyreborne/Lady GildaHeart of the Pact
ModifierDescription
Enchanted ArmoryEquipment cards cost 0 Ember. Add 3 random Equipment cards to your starting deck.
Amplified ArmamentsAttack and health benefits from equipment are doubled.
No FluffAll cards have 1 fewer upgrade slot.

Completion of this challenge unlocks Trigger Happy and Twofer.

Strategy: This is simply an easier version of Covenant 1, and should not be very difficult. Pick up any equipment you see and combine it to put together extremely powerful cards.

Twofer

Twice as much of all the things that matter.

Covenant Rank: 1

Primary ClanAllied ClanPyre Heart
Pyreborne/Lord FenixBanished/TalosProto Heartcage
ModifierDescription
Two for OneEach time you draft a card, gain a second copy.
MoneybagsDouble Gold earned.
DualityDouble stacks of all status effects.

Completion of this challenge unlocks I'm the Enemy Now! and Calculation Station.

Strategy: The Duality modifier makes this challenge fairly easy, since it should be trivial to stack up absurd amounts of Valor on your units and Pyregel on enemies. Additionally, Frenzystone is even more powerful than normal, since it grants Multistrike 2. However, this can make certain Trials like Seal of Aggression, Stone of the Undying, and Thorn Guard more dangerous by adding more Multistrike, Reanimate, and Spikes.

I'm the Enemy Now!

Your units have been picking up ideas from the enemy.

Covenant Rank: 1

ModifierDescription
Fast DrawFriendly units get Quick.
Race Ya ThereAscend friendly units at the end of each turn.
One Track MindThe path you take on the map is chosen automatically.

Completion of this challenge unlocks Stop Hitting Yourself! and Slow and Sloppy.

Strategy: This challenge demonstrates the powerful effect of overstacking. Because capacity is not much of a concern, Largerstones are a powerful upgrade. Also notice how Shift works: any Shift units you draft are likely to activate a lot more than just twice through the automatic Ascending.

Stop Hitting Yourself

Your monsters can't help themselves, they love to hit spiked enemies.

Covenant Rank: 1
