Build the board. Watch it fight.
Gridbound Tactics is an async PvP auto-battler where positioning decides which units get powered up. Draft units, place matching traits together, and turn smart board setup into super-powered armies.
Position for power
Traits are local to each unit, not global team bonuses. Place allies to multiply trait power onto key units, then stack it even higher: 2-star units give double trait power, and 3-star units give quadruple. Tiny placement changes can create ridiculous power spikes.
- Match adjacent traits to power up individual units.
- Stack trait power with placement, 2-star upgrades, and 3-star upgrades.
- Solve the board each round instead of memorizing one perfect build.
Draft, reroll, and grow your army
Each round gives you time to think. Buy units, reroll the shop, level up, expand your board, and decide which pieces are worth building around.
Make one unit ridiculous
Surround your best unit with matching traits and watch it scale. Then send your army into automatic battles against rival player-built teams and see which board choices paid off.
