Designed to challenge both the mind and the body, Starstrike stands as a testament to the spirited competition and camaraderie among the students of Emberforge.

WHERE MAGICK MEETS MAYHEM

Objective: During the Glimmerfall period, when the radiant crystal firmament begins its gradual dimming, two teams face off in a captivating battle of wits and agility. The primary goal is to maneuver the luminous Starball through the opponent’s goalpost, navigating a field filled with magical challenges that test their strategic thinking and magical skills.

Gameplay Experience:
Starstrike is more than just a sport; it’s a celebration of the enchanting capabilities of Emberforge’s students. Played in an arena simulating the phases of the upper realm moon, each quarter of the game introduces new magickal elements and obstacles, from floating platforms to shifting terrains. Players must adapt to these changes, using their magickal and physical abilities to outsmart their opponents and secure victory.
