Explore Kanto Tactics Arena
Choose your pace in Kanto Tactics Arena: a quick lobby against seven AI rivals, a 20-stop island campaign, or the Endless Spire. Scout each enemy lineup before spending your gold. Fourteen original guardians and five environments give the campaign its own route; all three modes keep separate saves in your browser.
Modes
Each mode keeps its own local run. Switching during combat resumes from the preceding preparation phase.

How to play
- Buy creatures from the five-card shop. Refresh for 2 gold, or lock the offers for the next round.
- Put creatures on your board, up to your level. Keep durable units in front and ranged units behind them.
- Collect three copies at the same star level to merge. Field different creatures of a type to activate synergies.
When to save and when to spend
Interest increases at multiples of ten: holding 20 gold gives +2; spending down to 18 leaves +1. Refresh costs 2 and buying 4 XP costs 4. Before spending, look for a completed merge, a level that opens another board slot or an active synergy. Saving is less useful when a weak board is costing too much health.
