BLOOD AND ICHOR | 3v1 Asymmetric Tactical Action

BLOOD & ICHOR

A 3v1 Asymmetric Tactical Action Game

Blood and Ichor is an online asymmetric struggle pitting a team of three Scions against a lone, formidable Summoner. Whether you unite together to hold the line or command the legions of the Ichor-kin in solo tactical dominance, every match is a race against inevitable escalation.

The Scions

The Bulwark The shield against the onslaught. Stand between your allies and the encroaching tide to ensure the Scions are never overrun.
The Reaper A scalpel in the dark. While others hold the line, you hunt—isolating high-priority threats to sever them from the battlefield.
The Pyromancer Scourge of the Ichor. Cleanse the battlefield with torrents of fire to prevent the Summoner from gaining a foothold.
The Sanctifier The lifeline. You are the thread holding the Scions together; once you fall, the struggle is lost.

The Summoner

Tactical Deployment Orchestrate Ichor-kin through synergy-based deck management.
Anima Escalation Safeguard the Crucibles. The longer they stand, the faster your power peaks.
The Veil Strategic vision. Influence the carnage from above.
The Husk The Summoner's champion. Manifest and finish the struggle.

The Scion's Burden

Hold the Sanctum

The Monolith is your only lifeline. You must coordinate your archetypes to repel the Ichor-kin waves, identifying the critical moments to hold the line and the fleeting windows to push back when the Summoner’s pressure wavers.

Shatter the Crucibles

Survival depends on calculated aggression. Venturing into the dark to dismantle the Crucibles is the only way to bleed the Summoner's Anima generation and delay the inevitable escalation of the Summoner.

III

Slay the Ascendant

The struggle often converges on the Husk. Whether the Summoner manifests a Hollow shell or an Ascendant champion, the Scions must coordinate their ultimate abilities to bring it down—unless they can pierce the heart of the Hive and destroy the Prime Crucible first.

The Anatomy of the Struggle

Core Strategic Flow

The Conflict of Power

Crucibles are the lifeblood of the Summoner’s power. Scions must divide their attention between lane defense and pushing deep into territory to bleed the Summoner’s Anima generation dry.

Crucible Waning

Crucibles possess formidable defenses early in the struggle. However, as they push Anima toward awakening the Husk, their structural power wanes, creating vulnerability for a Scion counter-strike.

Scaling Mortality

The cost of failure increases as the struggle reaches its peak. High-stakes windows emerge, providing the Summoner opportunities to break the will of the Scions and shatter the Monolith.
