Dwelling deep in the Silence, the ancient beings known as the Lighteaters haunt the lands of Irdheim and Sonnan, trapped between life and death. Wield their arcane powers in Skirmish mode, whether in single-player or multiplayer battles, with the Songs of Silence: Lighteaters DLC. This expansion introduces a new faction with unique mechanics, units, and strategies.
Gameplay
The Lighteaters DLC introduces a fresh Skirmish experience with a focus on strategic depth. Players command the Lighteaters, utilizing their unique abilities to manipulate life force (Hymn) through healing and self-damaging mechanics. The Nexus capital serves as their stronghold, allowing instant teleportation for recruitment or retreat via the Nexus Recall strategy card. The Nexus Gateway building upgrade further enhances their mobility and tactical options. Engage in battles with new hero classes, units, and battle cards designed to challenge both allies and foes.
