1 General. 8 Specialists. 91 Units.

Each side takes the field with one General, eight Specialists, and 91 units: the rank-and-file force that fights, holds ground, and falls.

• 2 Bruisers Elimination, zone defense, assaults
• 2 Runners Deliver payloads to capture zones
• 2 Cannons Launch payloads to blast units or set up Runners
• 1 Visual + 1 Sonic Signaler Relay orders, gather intel, send decoys

Your roster holds 12: nine starters plus a backup Cannon, Runner, and Bruiser. Every player has a natural position. A few rare stars can flex into others; everyone else struggles out of position.

Three ways to win.

• Elimination Wipe out every one of your opponent's units.
• Control Hold zones to earn points. First to 500 wins.
• Time If neither happens in 30 minutes, the team leading on zone points wins.

Most matches are decided by Control, but a dominant fighting force can end things early, and a tight defensive game can go the distance.

Launch. Catch. Deliver.

• Launch Cannons fire payloads across the map, at enemy units or toward their own Runners.
• Impact A payload that is not caught by a Runner detonates on landing, damaging everything in its blast radius.
• Live ball After landing, anyone can pick a payload up. It stays live until a delivery is made.
• Delivery Only Runners can handle a payload inside a zone and complete a delivery. Cannon shots cannot be legally caught inside a zone.
• Dismantle Runners can intercept shots and pull payloads out of enemy zones. A dismantled payload must be returned to a Cannon, by any player, before it is live again.

General

The coach on the field. Generals lead the team through strategy. They read the battlefield, make quick decisions, and keep the squad executing under pressure.

Key ratings: Tactical IQ // Leadership // Awareness // Composure

Bruiser

Boots on the ground. Bruisers lead the elimination work. They deal damage to opposing forces, defend zones, and lead attacks to clear a zone or pull the enemy away from one.

Key ratings: Strength // Resilience // Defense // Power

Runner

The scorers. Runners capture zones by delivering payloads into them. They can intercept enemy Cannon shots and dismantle payloads from enemy-held zones.

Key ratings: Speed // Agility // Evasion // Handling

Cannon

Artillery and playmaking. Cannons launch payloads to clear out hordes of units, or line up their Runners for a zone run. Any teammate can help reposition a Cannon, but a great Cannon can line up a shot from almost anywhere on the map.

Key ratings: Precision // Range // Power // Composure

Visual Signaler

Eyes of the team. Visual Signalers relay the General's orders and uncover battlefield intel: enemy locations, Cannon trajectories, and more. The best can disguise their signal as the opponent's, creating a convincing decoy.

Key ratings: Visual Signal // Creativity // Awareness // Coordination

Sonic Signaler

Voice of the team. Sonic Signalers carry orders and intel through sound, keeping the squad coordinated when sight lines break down. They can also fake an enemy signal to send the opponent chasing a decoy.

You run the front office.

• Draft Build a 12-player roster from all of history in a snake draft.
• Prepare Before each match, study the opponent and set formation, tempo, objective focus, and risk.
• Compete Once the match starts, your squad plays on its own. Watch it live or quick sim.
• Season Sixteen weeks, then playoffs. Six teams per conference qualify.
• Offseason Players' form rises or falls with performance. Protect six players, then rebuild through the renewal draft.
