Unit guide
Units, creatures, and upgrades
Cards are grouped by faction and rank. Each row places a base creature next to its upgrades so health, damage, speed, abilities, and skills are easy to compare.
How do I open units for a single faction?
Use a faction page or a URL such as /en/factions/human/units. It shows only that side's creatures, upgrades, and combat parameters.
