How AI is used

About Fatalyst
A SINGLE CARD CAN CHANGE FATE
Fatalyst is a competitive tactical card game where positioning, timing, and prediction matter as much as the cards in your deck.
Build your deck, place cards across the battlefield, combine abilities and auras, and anticipate your opponent's strategy. Every position affects what happens next — and a single well-placed card can turn the entire match.
POSITION MATTERS
Cards don't simply enter the battlefield and attack. Their position determines when they act, what affects them, and how they interact with nearby cards. Plan several moves ahead and turn the board itself into part of your strategy.
BUILD YOUR STRATEGY
Create a 15-card deck within a limited star budget. Powerful cards cost more stars, forcing you to choose between a few heavy hitters or a wider range of tactical options.
OUTPLAY YOUR OPPONENT
Fatalyst is built around player decisions rather than excessive randomness. Read the board, predict your opponent, create synergies, and find the play that changes the outcome of the match.
