CNAT - General Info

The left side of your Sage board features your wallet (1), where you will keep your gold you have collected throughout the game. It also includes a hand list of your standard actions (2) for quick reference. On the right side of your Sage board, you will find your level tracker (3). Each time you defeat an Elemental in your opponent's formation, increase your level by 1 by moving your level tracker up along your level tracker. Each time your level reaches a set threshold (4, 6, and 8), you gain access to a powerful Elemental Champion and new faction action (4).

• Elemental Champions: Elemental Champions are powerful Elementals that are unique to each faction. When you reach a threshold onn your level tracker, move the corresponding Elemental Champion from your Sage board to the top of your discard pile. Doing so will reveal a faction action on your Sage board.
• Faction actions: Once you unlock a faction action by revealing it on your Sage board, you may perform that action for the remainer of the game during Phase II of your turn by spending 1 AP. As a reminder, you may only perform one faction action per turn.

Once you reach level 8 on your level tracker, you have reached your maximum level and unlocked all available Elemental Champions and faction actions.

There are 4 sages in the base game and 2 in the Sand and Wind expansion. Each sage leads an Elemental faction that comes with its own unique gameplay style:

• Pebble: The Pebble faction focuses on defense with shield generation.
• Droplet: The Droplet faction focuses on card advantage and formation manipulation with a balance between offense and defense.
• Twig: The Twig faction focuses on offense with boosted damage.
• Leaf: The Leaf faction focuses on deck and discard manipulation with a balance between offense and defense.
• Sand: The Sand faction takes a slow and steady approach, maneuvering coarse grains of sand with their magic to control the match and deal damage over time.
• Wind: The Wind faction moves swiftly, creating a whirlwind by moving Elementals within a formation to gain advantage.
