The Heralds
Eight Orders, eight stronger abilities, to earn chapter after chapter
- 8Heralds to earn
- 8Story chapters
- 56games in all
- 2Orders without a Herald
Eight Orders have a Herald: a superior version of their ability, earned by finishing their chapter in Story mode. All of them, except the Gilded and the Chimeras. Heralds are played against the Echo, in Classic matches and in challenges between friends, never in Ranked or in tournaments. In the iPhone app, the Shop also offers the Herald of the day every day, and all eight at once.
A Herald doesn't change the numbers: its four cards are those of the Order. It is the ability that grows.

Questions
The Heralds in five questions
What is a Herald?
The superior version of an Order: the same four cards, the same numbers, but a stronger ability. The Herald of the Pikes pierces three cards instead of two, the Herald of the Abyssals starts at +2.
How do I earn a Herald?
By finishing its Order's chapter in Story mode, that is, by beating its Warlord, the last game of the chapter. The Herald is yours for good.
Where can a Herald be played?
Against the Echo, in Classic matches and in challenges between friends. Never in Ranked or in tournaments, where everyone plays the base Orders.
Can I buy a Herald?
Yes, in the iPhone app: every day, the Shop sells one Herald on its own, the Herald of the day, and offers all eight at once. Story mode remains the free path, on the website as on iPhone. On another iPhone, “Restore purchases” brings back those made with the same Apple account.
Why don't the Gilded and the Chimeras have a Herald?
Their ability has no superior version: these two Orders have neither a Story chapter nor a Herald. The other eight each have one.
