An arcane defense set around the Circle of the Phoenix. Shadows creep in from the darkness beyond the ward — tap the rune stones on the circle to blast each shadow before it can touch the fire bird at the center. Chain quick hits to build blazing combo bonuses, survive wave after wave as the onslaught quickens, and hold the circle for as long as your reflexes allow. Each rune sits on its own segment of the ring, so timing and aim decide everything. Pure arcade skill — no wagers, nothing to buy, just you, the runes, and the dark.
