Story, setting, or main mode
The main structure is competitive real-time multiplayer built around card placement, elixir management and tower pressure. That premise sits within the game’s Strategy, Card Battler, Tower Defense, and Multiplayer structure, so story context is kept separate from the mechanics and mode details covered in the gameplay section.
