Champions of Stone: what it is and how to start

Champions of Stone is the MOBA mode. You control one hero on a three lane map, creeps march down the lanes on their own, and you win by pushing through the towers and destroying the enemy's Ancient Core.

Getting in

Pick Champions of Stone from the mode select when the game opens. It's a practice mode against computer heroes for now, in three formats:

• 1v1 Solo Mid
• 3v3
• 5v5

Online play isn't available yet, and the menu says so rather than pretending.

The basics

• Q W E R are your abilities. Level up and spend points on them with the + buttons.
• 1 to 6 use items from your inventory.
• P or G opens a shop when you're close enough to one. Your base has shops, and there's a neutral one by the river.
• Stand near your base's fountain to heal and restore mana.
• Heroes respawn after a timer that gets longer as you level.
• Hitting an enemy hero inside their tower's range makes the tower target you. Dive carefully.

Hero builds, lane matchups and "this champion is broken" threads all belong here.
