Before the match starts, a random [[map]] is selected and players get to choose their [[Hero]]. Both players have the option to reroll the map once during this phase; if a map was selected on a previous roll, it cannot be re-rolled for that match again. Next, each player chooses three towers to add to their loadout.


===Tutorial===
There are multiple ways for the match to end:
{{main|Battle School}}
*The first player to run out of lives loses the match.
{{empty}}
*If both players run out of lives on the exact same [[frame]], the match ends in a draw. This is considered a loss for both players.
*If round 40 passes and the players have a different number of lives from each other, the player with fewer lives loses the match.
*If round 40 passes and the players have the same number of lives, the game enters [[Sudden Death]] and continues for 10 more rounds. If round 50 passes without either player losing a life, the game ends in a draw. This is considered a win for both players.
*At any time, a player can surrender to end the match in a loss early.
*If a player disconnects, that player loses the match.
