<br>The DNA of the genre is a fascinating amalgamation of classic real-time strategy, collectible card games, and traditional tower defense.<br>

Integrating Collectible Cards
<br>The genre remained a niche PC concept until the explosion of the smartphone market completely changed the gaming industry.<br>
<br>Players were no longer just battling; they were building collections, crafting decks, and chasing rare holographic drops.<br>
