Build a team of five units, choose their abilities and formation, and watch your strategy play out in automatic battles. Grow your collection, take on monsters, and compete against other players.

New here? Start with [How to Play](/gotchi-battler/guides/how-to-play.md). You'll learn how to sign in, get your five free Spirits, and prepare for your first battle. You need a crypto wallet to sign in, but you don't need cryptocurrency or an Aavegotchi to start playing.

Play in a desktop browser for the best experience; the game isn't designed for smaller mobile screens.
