To help many
Gigantic beginner players to play the game correctly, since its a new moba game and actually very different from the other mobas, i've decided to write a guide about the things you need to know to play gigantic correctly, and what you really need to know plus some tips.
Keep in mind this article is based on my Gigantic experience and also my own opinion, so don't take any
opinion in this article as a must, and decide whats suitable for you.
- The Objective of the game is to gather points to power up your guardian, once the gaurdian's power bar is filled it will attack the enemy guardian and then your team can attack the enemy guardian.
The way you gather these points is by:
1- Summoning your own creatures
2- Allowing the creature enough time so you can gather points from them later
3- Killing your enemy
4- Destroying the enemy creatures
Once the Guardian points bar reaches 100 points, your guardian will rampage.

- Only attack the enemy Guardian, when your own guardian is rampaging. You may think it's obvious, but there are many players are rushing towards the enemy gaurdian, attacking it without powering up their own guardian, thinking that they will apply damage to the guardian or they can even survive! You'll not apply any damage to the guardian, and you will by attacked by it as well, and also you will lose any fight with the enemy players nearby the guardian.
So Just don't attack the enemy guardian without helping your guardian to rampage. When your guardian is attacking it, you have to cause 3 wounds to win the match. Which means you have to cause your guardian to rampage 3 times with doing a successful wound to the enemy guardian.

- If your guardian is being under attack by the enemy guardian, it doesn't mean its counted as a wound, while your guardian is being attacked, the enemy has a chance to decrease your guardian's health bar causing a wound to happen to your guardian, as mentioned before, 3 wounds and you lose.
But if you are able to stop the enemy team from lowering your guardian's health bar to reach 0 to achieve a wound, it will waste their guardian's points which means the enemy guardian will stop rampaging, your guardian will be recovered, it will force the enemy team to rebuild those points and have their guardian rampaging to start it all over again.

- Killing the enemy heroes during the rampaging of your guardian or the enemy guardian is essential.
Because during rampaging, you give your guardian more points by killing heros so the guardian can attack for more duration, while in the defensive mode, you give it more points which gives shield to hold up the enemy guardian.

- In the lower middle of the screen, you can see your health bar on the left side, and your stamina baron the right side, but lets talk about the stamina bar.
Your stamina is used for sprinting, jumping and dodging. But it's only consumed during combat. So when you are sprinting out of combat, your stamina bar will not be confusmed.
But during the combat, you really have to watch out for your stamina bar to be totally consumed, because if that does happen and you wanna withdraw and run away, then the end will be your death. Keep in mind that the abilities/skilled used to consume stamina, but they changed that to a cooldown.

- Everytime you lvl up your hero, you get 1 skill point, you use them to upgrade your abilities.
The abilities have a multipath upgrade system, you choose which path you will upgrade your ability and it's depends on your playstyle. Which means it's your choice, you choose what you see it suitable in your opinion, so i can't really tell you what you have to choose, because there's no recommended effects to apply on your abilities, but anyway i see more stamina very valuable.
Also if you are a healer hero, then you have to improve your healing abilities with more healing effects on them, so you are more useful to your team. So do it wisely, and choose what is really suitable for your playstyle.

- Watch closely the top of the screen, the power points bar is really something you have to pay attention for, so you know how many points left for your own guardian to rampage, or how many points left for the enemy guardian to rampage, so you can avoid giving more points to the enemy team, or be prepared for the enemy guardian to rampage.
Killing the enemy creatures is useful to gather points for your guardian to rampage, but it's a waste of time if your guardian's points bar has already reached 100.
In other words do not attack the enemy creatures when your guardian is ready to rampage, because you will just waste your time, you wont get any points by killing the creatures, and you will miss attacking the enemy guardian to cause a wound.
When you see your guardian is rampaging, go straight to attack and wound the enemy guardian, it's the only way you win the game.

- Every summoned creature (your team's creature), has a healing ability. So if your health bar is low and you are about to die, go near your team's creature and your health bar will be regenerated again.

Also killing an enemy hero causes a healing orb to be summoned in place, so you can heal yourself after killing an enemy hero.

- Don't hesitate to run away from fight it doesn't seem that you can win or escape safely. It's better to let an enemy alive with low health and be also alive than dying during the fight giving more points to power up the enemy guardian.
- Don't try to summon a creature in the middle points of the map, because they are difficult to protect, and you will end up giving points to your enemy guardian.

- With your focus you can upgrade a baby creature to an adult creature which will gather points faster and be much stronger. Also you can heal allies or reveal enemies.

- Match Modes
There are 3 match modes in Gigantic, each one of them is important for you as a beginner.
1- Practice
This mode is useful when it comes to try out the new heroes or a hero that you have never tried before.
It helps to know more about the heroes and their skills, also you can play it as solo only.
Every hero in this mode is unlocked, you can choose any hero you want, and in my opinion i find it useful to make a decision on which hero i'll buy next. Keep in mind in this mode you don't earn anything, you just test the heroes.

2- Bot Matches
This mode is great for the new players aka the beginners to know more about the combat system, the objectives of the game, how to communicate with the team, how to arrange a good team fight and to apply what you have learnt from the tutorial. It doesn't require you to be at a certain level.
Also it's great and useful training before queuing up for a real online match.

3- Gigantic mode
This is simply the online matchmaking of gigantic, you play versus real players, you also play with real
players, and honestly this matchmaking mode is harder than any bot match. It requires you to be above Lv1 and also to know everything about the game before queuing up for it, which means you have to play alot of Bot Matches before playing this mode. So in my opinion, do not play this mode unless you have bought many heroes (so you can play as your favourite heroes), and have played enough bot matchs to be ready for the real competition.

- Fortune Cards
It's a feature which allows you to draw cards every day, each card is a quest. The card asks you to do some kind of a mission to earn some rewards after completing each mission. Keep in mind you can't draw more than 7 cards and you will have to complete them to draw more. In my opinion is feature is helpful for the new players to collect ingame currency to buy more heroes.

- Play the TUTORIAL! Don't think that because you have knew all of the things above it's gonna teach you how to play the game, and don't think that because you play other mobas that you can just simply know everything about Gigantic.
Gigantic is kinda completely different from other mobas, the objectives are really different, there are no minions and no lanes, the game is alot faster, so just play the tutorial, experience how to play the game by yourself before queuing up.
Well, that's all you have to know to start playing Gigantic, but as i said, you really have to play the tutorial, it is a must! You will learn more about the game by playing the tutorial more than reading about it anywhere.
Hope you find this article useful.
