phases of mourning

preparation phase

At the start of each duel, each player draws five cards from the pile to form the starting hand. We will have an opportunity to change the ones we want. Then we must choose one of the character cards on the board as the ‘active character’ to participate in combat.

launch phase

At the beginning of each round we roll eight elemental dice to be used in the current round. We have an opportunity to re-cast all those that do not serve us from the initial result.

actions phase

In games against NPCs, we will always act first. In multiplayer games, the player who acts first will be randomly decided. These are the actions we can take:

• use skill: We pay the cost in elemental dice of the indicated elements to use the ability of the active character.
• change character: we spend an elemental dice of any element to change the active character for another of those found in our character area.
• play card: We pay the cost in elemental dice of an action or support card to play it.
• elementary conversion: we discard a card to change the element of one of our dice.
• end round: The player who declares the end of the round first, will have the first turn in the following round.

Final phase

When both players choose the option to end the round, the selected actions are performed. If all three of a player’s characters are eliminated, the game ends. If not, they both take two cards from their pile and a new round begins.

How to engage in duels against NPCs

After finishing the game tutorial talking to the Prince in the Cat Tail tavern (see requirements section to play), we will receive the object arcane box. With this, we can see on the map where there are players that we can challenge to a game.

There are several types of single player duels in the world:

• adventure duels: They are of low difficulty and when we win we can receive exp. player and new cards, if we meet the challenges of each duel. We found them on the map.
• normal: more difficult duels. We found them on the map.
• Weekly visitor duels: Every week we will have four random players in the Mondstadt Cat Tail tavern who also give us exp. of player upon defeating them.
• invitational duels: Through the invitation board of the Mondstadt Cat Tail tavern, we can challenge different characters in friendly (lower difficulty) and serious (higher difficulty) duels.
  • To challenge a character you have to spend a duel invitationwhich we obtain by leveling up, completing rewards or buying them in the card shop.
  • We can get the letter of each character and talent fulfilling dueling objectives in friendly duels.
• tavern duels: We can participate in these duels after reaching a certain character level and talking to the Prince in the Cat Tail tavern in Mondstadt. We can also participate in friendly (lower difficulty) and serious (higher difficulty) duels.
  • We can obtain character cards and talent from enemies by winning friendly duels and completing the indicated duel objectives.

As we level up the player it will be possible to challenge more characters.

When we have enough exp. of player to level up, we will have to overcome an ascension duel. We find him talking to Prince again in the Cat’s Tail tavern in Mondstadt.
