Whenever you push two of the same tiles into one another, they merge into a higher level and activate their effect. This is how you swing your sword, shoot your bow, raise your shield and do much more. As the level of each tile gets higher, its effect becomes increasingly powerful; adding piercing damage, crippling your enemy or removing debuffs from your character. Just take care that your board doesn’t jam up, or you’ll have to take a rest to clear it up.

As new tiles are unlocked, you can start to mix and match between any pair of tiles that you have access to. You won’t have much choice when starting out, but that will quickly change for the better as you explore the world and start leveling up. If you’ve obtained the proper artifacts, you can even go for a purely offensive or defensive strategy. Just be sure that your strategy is sound, or you’ll end up as worm food!

While you might start your journey facing off against some insignificant opponents, you will quickly discover that not every foe goes down as easily. Each enemy will challenge you in a different way, either by simply applying a lot of brute force, trying to dodge your attacks or even manipulating the board itself. Be prepared for every situation and don’t rely on the same tricks working time and again!

Lucky for you, you don’t have to rely on tiles alone. Artifacts offer powerful ways to manipulate the board, create a temporary advantage or enhance your next move. As you explore the world, you’ll be able to get your hands on a wide variety of these artifacts. It’s up to you to find the ones that improve your strengths or reduce your weaknesses.
