Stick Wars: The Laneborn

Stick Wars: The Laneborn is a real-time 2D strategy game where macro calls win matches, not frantic unit babysitting.

Three lanes — TOP, MID, and BOT — clash in parallel. Minions, towers, and enemy waves push automatically; you build numbers, break defenses, and march on the enemy base. Destroy their base to win. Lose yours and it’s over.

Strategy, not spam

Gold is tight — every coin needs a plan.

• Upgrade towers (more arrows, more durability) to hold lanes
• Upgrade your base (more HP, higher passive income, faster spawn cooldowns)
• Deploy Soldiers, Archers, and Commanders on the right lane, respecting costs and cooldowns
• Roll out Catapults for siege: they only hit structures — push them forward before the enemy responds

Matches are decided before the armies collide.

unlocked as you advance

The campaign teaches new tools level by level:

LevelNew ally

1

Warlock — He raises Wraiths, harvests ghosts from the fallen, and turns them into Skeleton Warriors and Archers.

2+

Minotaur — melee fury, retreat, scaling abilities

3+

Hero Archer — ranged DPS and smart kiting

Every champion has levels, XP, and unlockable abilities mid-match. Respawn timers, cooldowns, and gold costs — timing is everything.

As you level up, you will unlock numerous champions, and you can choose five of them to take into battle in each match.

Enemy bosses — difficulty scales with you

Each campaign level adds threats:

• Minotaur — melee boss with Blood Roar, Maze Master charge, Sharp Horns reflect, and area Fury
• Hero Archer (Lv. 2) — devastating arrows, regeneration, multi-shot
• Paladin (Lv. 3) — tank with Aura and Final Verdict

They rotate lanes intelligently, level up, and grow more dangerous as the battle heats up.
