Battlecrest: Deadrock Base Game 2026

Return to the Neververse with Battlecrest: Deadrock, our third year base set. Only the toughest and most brutal fighters can survive this desolate landscape. As with Fellwoods and Metronn, Deadrock comes with a new 6-card map and two new heroes. More heroes will be added throughout the year to test their might against each other and their environment.

Deadrock Map Set: 6 Landmark cards

The all-new Deadrock map is as dangerous a place as the Neververse has ever seen. This rocky desert offers plenty of opportunities for clever heroes to rain damage on their foes, but the twin storms at its center can bring down even the toughest warrior all by themselves. Don’t get caught in their path or you might not ever get out.

Cirrus Hero set. Cirrus AI Sheet: for solo play, requires Imperator expansion.

Noster Hero set. Noster AI Sheet: for solo play, requires Imperator expansion.

What is the mark of a true champion? Legendary heroes clash across the Neververse to find out.

Battlecrest is a card-based tactical skirmish game for 2 players (1-4 with expansions). With perfect information, players must truly outwit their opponent to win.

Characters are composed of 6-card sets featuring a hero card, a health tracker, and action cards. Occasionally a minion or item will replace an action card.

The map is built of 6 cards as well, with the cards randomly placed in a set pattern.

Players take turns maneuvering their characters around the dynamic, and often dangerous map while unleashing powerful attacks. As action cards are used they open up new possibilities and empower the character’s battlecrests. Build up to decisive strikes or refocus to get powers back. Every character has a unique set of actions and preferred tactics, so no two battles play the same.
