Positional Draft

Season 1 · Chapter 2

Where you stand changes everything. Position your team carefully — your abilities reach further or closer depending on where you are on the battlefield.
📍 Position Matters

Your character's place in the team lineup affects which enemies you can hit. Stand at the edge and you'll reach different targets than standing in the center.

🔀 New Mode: Positioning Draft

A new Draft Mode variant where positioning is fully enabled. Build your team, then place each fighter in the formation that suits their role — frontline, support, or backline.

� Ability Tooltips

Ability descriptions now show a visual range indicator so you always know exactly who you can hit before committing to a move.

Range Type Reference
Type Description
1Front/center only — strictly the position directly facing the caster
1+1Front ± 1 (e.g. Left / Center / Right in a 5-man)
1+2Long reach — front ± 2
aoe / 5All positions
randomAll positions — ability picks randomly

Item Source Finder

Story Drops Challenges Daily Challenges Battle Pass
Item Info scans Story drops, Challenge first-clear rewards, bunch rewards, daily challenge loot tables, and Battle Pass tiers — all data loaded live from the game files.
Search by item name; filter by source type (All · Story · Challenges · Daily · Pass).
