Choose your fighter from an ever-growing roster of diverse characters, each with their own deck of special moves and supers.

This box contains 4 fighters and everything you need to play: Plague Knight - The bigger the explosion, the better the alchemist! Unleash unbridled havoc with Plague Knight by adding unexpected additional effects to each bomb you throw! Polar Knight - Control the arena by unearthing spikes of ice and throwing your opponents into them! With defense and tactics on your side, the cold will claim any foe in time. Treasure Knight - With your trusty hook and powerful armor, none can stand against the master of the seas! Take on opponents at every range, using superior resources and positioning to gain the upper hand! King Knight - Lord over your foes by laying down royal decrees, some of the most powerful (and expensive) cards in the land! Crush those peasant knights beneath your heel with regal authority!
