ANSWERS FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION

Doomward: Dungeon Autobattler gameplay guide and player questions

Steam edition · Researched Nov 9, 2026 · Guide updated Nov 9, 2026.

Our guidance

How do I control my heroes during combat?

You do not directly control heroes during combat. Instead, you win before the fight starts by hiring heroes, specializing them, choosing their equipment, and writing specific rules for their behavior, such as who to target first and when to use spells.

Source facts

What happens if a hero dies in battle?

Death is permanent in this game. There are no revives available for fallen heroes. Because of this, you must carefully manage your party composition and strategies to ensure your heroes survive the various expeditions and encounters you face.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How can I create powerful combat synergies?

You create combos by having heroes apply status effects that others can exploit. For example, you can chill a foe to freeze them and then shatter them, or oil a pack of enemies before lighting them on fire for massive damage.

Source facts

What is the purpose of the Doom Clock?

The Doom Clock tracks the time remaining before Harbingers lay siege to your town. If the clock runs out or a siege is lost, your run ends. You must manage your expeditions efficiently before this final deadline arrives.

Source facts

How does the Monolith raid boss work?

The Herald is a raid boss fought in phases. Your heroes must autonomously respond to its telegraphs, adds, and enrage mechanics. Success depends on how well you prepared your team's rules and specializations before entering the fight.

Our guidance

What are Edicts and how do they affect gameplay?

Edicts are modifiers you can add to any run to twist the rules of the game. Using them increases the difficulty, but they also allow you to earn a higher score, which is useful for climbing the leaderboards.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Can I play this game with friends?

Yes, the game supports co-op for 2-4 players where you share a Doom Clock and map. You manage individual guilds but participate in shared fights and vote on which paths to take during your journey.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

How does the PvP Arena mode function?

In the PvP Arena, you engage in 1v1 or 2v2 matches. You draft your heroes and bid blindly on gear, competing in a best-of-five format to determine the winner. Matches can be played via Steam, LAN, or Direct Connect.

Source facts

Is the game optimized for handheld devices?

Yes, the game is made for handhelds and features a dedicated controller interface that works on the Steam Deck. It supports various controllers, including Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, and GameCube, with fully remappable buttons.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What should I consider when choosing a path on the world map?

Each path features unique weather, traps, and foes. You must make meaningful choices at forks in the road, deciding between options like a guarded vault, a quest, or an uncharted door that offers higher rewards for increased risk.
