  • In the Ancestor Challenge League, you'll visit the Karui afterlife and defeat ten tribes in a series of tournaments to earn valuable new rewards.
  • As you play through the league, you'll find tradeable Silver coins which are used to gain passage to the Karui Afterlife. You'll start out with a basic team of three Karui warriors to enter the Trial of the Ancestors.
  • In each match, you can select which tribe to compete against, based on the reward offered. You can examine the battlefield configuration of the enemy team and strategically place your warriors to challenge theirs. Then you and your party will compete alongside your warriors to destroy the opposing team's totems and win the match.
  • When you compete in tournaments, you'll accumulate favour with each of the tribes. This can be spent on recruiting warriors and purchasing field items and equipment to power up your team. Each tribe has their own specialities and you can mix and match warriors from different tribes to build a team that embodies your strategy.
