To buy starting items, players are granted 1,500 gold before they enter the map. These items grant special abilities or bonuses that enhance the player’s god. The map is divided into one to three ‘lanes’ that running from one side to the other. A ‘Phoenix’  defends each lane which is also accompanied by a pair of defensive towers. Both deal large amounts of damage to enemies that come too close.To win the match your team must destroy the others team’s Phoenixes and their Titan. Players are accompanied small weak soldiers called ‘minions’, minions spawn every thirty seconds at the Phoenixes and run along their lane. Minions will attack anything that comes across they path from players, minions, towers, Phoenixes and the Titans. Minions need to be presence for players to deal full damage.
