Gran Dragnica Kingdom
Classic knights-and-monsters faction; balanced starting position. Recommended for first-time players.
Scarlet Will
Aggressive faction with strong knight-led armies and a frontline starting position.
Mystiaine
Magical faction with strong monster summons; recommended for first-time players who prefer magic.
Alicebell
Defensive faction with high-knight-count rosters and defensive terrain bonuses.
Pandemyuon Empire
Expansionist faction with monster-summon focus; benefits from long campaigns.
Samura Clan Republic
Honor-bound faction with elite knight roster and strong Rally actions.
Gran Dragnica Kingdom
Gran Dragnica is the classic knights-and-monsters faction, with a balanced starting position on the Meltitea map. Gran Dragnica is recommended for first-time players who want a familiar knights-led roster with strong monster summons from the Brigandine system. Gran Dragnica's leader specializes in Rally actions that amplify surrounding troops; the faction is forgiving of mid-game mistakes.
Scarlet Will
Scarlet Will is the aggressive knights-led faction with a frontline starting position. Scarlet Will's leader prefers direct Attack Phase engagements and pushes early into enemy territory. Scarlet Will is best suited for players who enjoy fast-paced combat and are willing to take losses to break enemy lines.
Mystiaine
Mystiaine is the magical faction with strong monster summons, recommended for first-time players who prefer magic. Mystiaine's leader channels Rally actions through monster auras and is effective at clearing multiple hexes in a single Attack Phase. Mystiaine rewards players who build squads around monster summons rather than knight rosters.
Alicebell
Alicebell is the defensive faction with high-knight-count rosters and defensive terrain bonuses. Alicebell's leader excels at survive-turns win conditions and Rally actions that fortify adjacent hexes. Alicebell is best suited for players who prefer a defensive playstyle and can leverage defensive terrain bonuses across the Meltitea map.
Pandemyuon Empire
Pandemyuon Empire is the expansionist faction with a monster-summon focus. Pandemyuon's leader favors long campaigns and benefits from sustained Brigandine artifact growth. Pandemyuon is best suited for players who enjoy monster-summon-heavy rosters and can manage the slower early-game ramp-up.
Samura Clan Republic
Samura Clan Republic is the honor-bound faction with an elite knight roster and strong Rally actions. Samura Clan's leader is effective at amplifying a small group of high-level knights into a powerful Attack Phase force. Samura Clan is best suited for players who prefer focused squad composition over wide rosters.
