Starwood: Lantern

Heavily inspired by Hearthstone Battlegrounds & The Bazaar.

Carry the lantern. Build the warband. Outlast the road.

Starwood: Lantern is an asynchronous, day-based fantasy autobattler. Choose a hero, recruit minions and spells at Camp, arrange a seven-slot formation, and send your warband into automatic combat against rival runs. Every day asks a new question: spend now, upgrade your Camp, chase a synergy, or preserve the formation that is keeping you alive?

Build around your hero

Choose from 45 heroes with distinct powers and starting plans. Recruit across seven cultures—Concord, Lunari, Meridian, Lantern, Antler, Ashen, and Null—or combine them with Neutral cards to create flexible, unexpected builds.

Make every position count

Your board has seven slots. Attack order, adjacency, Shields, summons, Requiem effects, and start- or end-of-combat triggers can turn the same collection of minions into very different outcomes. Rearrange freely during recruitment, then watch the battle resolve.

Adapt over a full run

The Camp offers 238 live minions and spells across six tiers. Refresh the market, improve your Camp, freeze a promising offer, Discover new cards, and strengthen your board with 33 Blessings that can change the direction of a run.

A persistent casual account

Your casual account tracks run history, statistics, hero collection, and the Crownweights you earn in play. The optional Meridian Exchange lets players collect and trade hero variants using this valueless in-game currency. Export your Account key if you want to continue the same casual account on another device or in the web edition.
