With a total of 74 unique character cards to unlock and upgrade, there’s a lot of theory-crafting to do until you’ve come up with the ultimate 5-hero deck!</p><h2>How to play Ludus</h2><p>The key to victory is to merge/evolve your units effectively. Each hero card has a specific buff pattern that you can check out in the <strong>Card/Details</strong>. Essentially, when you merge champions, they enhance some of the adjacent heroes or damage the rocks on the tiles according to their buff pattern.</p><p><br></p><p>When rocks are destroyed, you gain extra coins — a currency used to spawn units. The heroes’ evolution level is represented with visual upgrades, which are quite important to notice because you can only merge units of the same tier. At higher tiers, heroes gain special abilities they’ll use automatically once the energy bar fills up.</p><h2>What are the controls for Ludus?</h2><p>Ludus seems to be made primarily for mobile users, but it works flawlessly in a PC browser, too. </p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Tap or click </strong>to explore the gorgeously designed UI and learn more about the game. </li><li><strong>Tap or click</strong> on a unit, then <strong>hold and drag</strong> to merge it with the same hero of identical evolution level so you can level it up further and buff adjacent units/remove rocks according to the hero-specific buff patterns.</li></ul><h2>Features</h2><ul><li>A phenomenal PvP deck-building merge strategy</li><li>Intuitive yet ultimately quite complex tactical gameplay</li><li>74 hero cards to unlock and further upgrade</li><li>Eye-catching graphics, amazing animations, gorgeous UI</li></ul>
