The Elder Scrolls: Legends has 5 available game modes and they differ from one another. This way the developers made the gameplay even more exciting. One should keep in mind that daily tasks can be achieved in PvP Battle and PvP Arena. Training with CPU does not count.

Training

You can test your skills and decks against CPU. There are three difficulty levels to choose from. You will start with the easiest one, then you will have to defeat a medium opponents, to finally face the most demanding foe.

PvP Battle

A basic game mode in every card game - a typical duel between two players. Each player picks a deck that he will use during the duel. The game ends when one of the players loses all his HP. Additional types of PVP Battles have been provided:

  • Quick game - a duel with CPU. A good way to try out your deck and prepare for other players.
  • Ranking game - by facing real opponents, you will advance to new ranks. You will start with rank 12, just to reach the Legendary one. Up till rank 9 you can play without losing your points, but after that, the game gets much harder. For each win you will receive a point, but at the same time you will lose it for every failure. For reaching main ranks (9, 5 and 1) you will obtain a copy of a card that is provided in a given month.

Storyline

The storyline will offer you an interesting plot where you will have to make decisions that can affect your hero. Furthermore, you will learn the basic rules of The Elder Scrolls: Legends, and obtain few packs of cards. This mode has been divided into three acts, and each of them consists of a couple of chapters (20 total).

Solo Arena

Here you will draw random cards and build a deck out of them. You will play against CPU, and the more foes you defeat, the greater are the prizes that you can obtain. The gameplay was divided into two stages: first you have to defeat 8 opponents in random order, and then face the bosses. After 3 loses or defeating all your enemies, the game will end and you will obtain your prize. Every time you defeat an opponent, you will be able to pick one card.

PvP Arena

The same as Solo Arena, but this time you will face real opponents, and thus this mode is harder.

Runes

You begin a duel with full HP and 5 runes surrounding your portrait. For each 5 damage you receive, you will lose one rune and draws one card. If you draw a Prophecy card, you can play it immediately. This way you may draw very useful cards (like removals) that will eliminate powerful minions and save your HP.

Mulligan

Mulligan, means selection of cards before the actual duel. It's a crucial moment that can affect the entire battle. Mastering the art of shuffling cards can give you a big advantage from the very start. Each player receives a random set of cards (3 or 4 - depending whether you have Magic Elixir or not). You can keep your cards or shuffle them as you want. Just keep in mind that you can do it only once, so think carefully. You need to think about the enemies that you are about to fight and come up with a right strategy. You should seek cards that you can play from the very first turn, so cheap cards that cost 1, 2, or 3 mana points. If you start with the Elixir, you can play a creature that requires more mana.

Building your deck

To increase your chance of winning, you should invest some effort in building your own deck. Here are some tips that you may find useful while picking the right cards.
