DUEL
The Duel feature is the core mechanic of the game! A Duel is triggered when a VS symbol lands directly between two Clan Warriors of opposing Clans. The VS symbol can appear only on reels 2, 3, and 4
Each Duel will have two Duel Multipliers, one for each Clan Warrior. In the base game, these multipliers can be one of these possible values: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 100x.
When a Duel ends, the winning Clan’s High symbol will replace the losing Clan’s symbols. The replacement can happen in one of three ways:
– The winning Clan’s High symbol replaces the losing Clan’s Low symbols.
– The winning Clan’s High symbol replaces the losing Clan’s High symbols.
– The winning Clan’s High symbol replaces the losing Clan’s Low and High symbols.
The VS symbol is always replaced by the winning Clan’s High symbol.
The winning Clan Warrior’s Duel Multiplier will then be applied to any win on symbols belonging to that Clan.
Only one Duel can occur on each spin.
BONUS GAMES
This game features two different bonus games, Clash and Conquest.
The Clash bonus game is awarded when 3 CLASH symbols land at the same time anywhere on the reels.
The Conquest bonus game is awarded when 3 CONQUEST symbols land at the same time anywhere on the reels.
Clash
This bonus game is divided into two phases, the Collect phase and the Clash phase.
The Collect phase has no paying symbols, only dead symbols, VS symbols, and special Clan Multiplier symbols. The goal of the Collect phase is to collect as many VS symbols and Clan Multipliers as possible during a limited number of spins. The feature begins with 3 spins and any time a VS symbol or Clan Multiplier lands, the number of remaining spins reset to 3.
In this phase VS symbols can only land on reel 3 and the total number of collected VS symbols is shown above the reel.
Clan Multipliers can only land on reels 1, 2, 4 and 5. Each reel corresponds to a Clan, in the order Red, Blue, Green, Orange. Each Clan’s total multiplier value is shown above the corresponding reel. The multiplier value above each reel starts at 1x and increases with the value of each new Clan Multiplier that lands on the reel. Clan Multipliers can land with one of the following values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 100x.
Epic Clan Multipliers are special multipliers that can only land on reel 3. When an Epic Clan Multiplier lands, it will multiply all the collected Clan Multiplier values above reels 1, 2, 4 and 5 by x2.
When there are no remaining spins in the Collect phase, the feature transitions to the Clash phase. The number of spins in the Clash phase is determined by the amount of collected VS symbols in the Collect phase, and each spin guarantees a Duel. The collected Clan Multiplier values from the Collect phase replace the corresponding Duel Multipliers for each Clan Warrior on all Duels in the Clash phase. These multiplier values are always displayed on the Clan Banners next to the reels.
Conquest
The Conquest bonus starts with 10 free spins. For each CONQUEST symbol that lands while in the feature, 1 additional free spin is awarded.
When a Clan loses a Duel in this feature, the corresponding Clan Banner is damaged. After a Clan Banner has been damaged twice, the Clan which it belongs to is eliminated from the feature and all of that Clan’s symbols (both High and Low) are removed from the reels for the duration of the feature. The more Clans that are eliminated, the fewer symbols will be competing on the reels, increasing the chance for big wins!
When a Clan Banner is destroyed, 1 extra free spin is awarded.
