About the game
Skytear: Nupten is a faction expansion that brings the MOBA arena magic to the board. The box includes four 38 mm hero miniatures, four hero cards, and a pre‑built deck of 32 power cards, ready to play. Each hero has a skill set reflecting the personality of a Nupten devotee: Shafathi masters temporal instability, Lord Setheru turns foes to ash with a word, Ekhrit controls winds that blow enemies away, and Khenui confuses opponents with illusory strikes that fail to hit. The expansion also allows players to mix these characters and cards with the base game, creating epic combinations. The game retains grid movement and zone control mechanics, where each player uses action points to move, attack, and activate abilities. Hand management and open drafting add strategic depth, as players decide when to use power cards or hold onto them for later. The modular board ensures each game has layout variations, boosting replayability. In short, Skytear: Nupten delivers an intense, tactical battle experience focused on unique heroes and spatial control strategies.
