***

## **Skill-Based Gameplay**

In Meta Lordz, combat is purely skill-based. Players cannot gain advantages through in-game purchases; instead, purchases are limited to customizing their chosen warrior's appearance and style.

***

## **Intuitive Point-and-Click Controls**

Our game features user-friendly controls. Players move their warriors by left-clicking and execute basic attacks with a right-click. This simplicity ensures accessibility for all players.

***

## **Level Playing Field**

Each match begins with all warriors at level 1, creating a completely level and competitive playing field for all participants.

***

## **In-Match Warrior Progression**

Warriors can level up to a maximum of 20, becoming progressively stronger with each level. Players can gain experience by defeating enemy warriors or by assisting their team in taking down opponents.

***

## **In-Match Ability Enhancement**

At each level gained, players earn an ability point to invest in their warrior's abilities. Warriors have access to a total of 5 active abilities, divided into two categories:

***

## **Normal Abilities**

* **First Ability (Nuke):** A spammable nuke, allowing warriors to deal damage quickly.
* **Second Ability (Mobility):** A mobility spell that provides strategic movement options.
* **Third Ability (Utility):** A utility spell tailored to each warrior's unique characteristics.

***

## **Rage Abilities**

* **Fourth Ability (Special):** A special ability that requires rage to use, akin to an ultimate charge.
* **Fifth Ability (Ultimate):** The ultimate ability, requiring three times the amount of rage compared to the fourth ability.

***

## **Rage Mechanic**

Rage is accumulated by dealing damage to enemies and securing kills. This resource is essential for unlocking the most powerful abilities in a warrior's arsenal, emphasizing the importance of tactical combat and teamwork.

***

## In-Match Potions

Potions are consumable items that provide distinct advantages when used, enriching gameplay dynamics and strategy. In Deathmatch mode, all players receive potions at set intervals for a fair and engaging experience. In Mercenaries mode, players can acquire potions by defeating enemy demons and monsters, rewarding combat skill and encouraging engagement with adversaries.
