Get Spire of Ash for PC

Spire of Ash is a dark-fantasy auto-battler dungeon crawler. You assemble a five-hero team from your unlocked roster, build their skills and gear, and push through increasingly difficult dungeon floors. Combat plays out in real time on a hex grid, where positioning, timing and ability interactions matter; each run is shaped by your decisions and can unfold differently.

Build your team

The roster includes 36 unique heroes in Defensive, Offensive and Support roles. Tanks anchor the front line, assassins exploit positioning, and healers keep the squad alive. You choose five heroes, and team composition and synergies shape how they perform together.

Across the roster, heroes have 144 unique skills, including ultimates, stances and party buffs. These toolkits let you build teams around different abilities and strategies.

Gear and crafting

Equip heroes with gear enhanced by 42 distinct affixes, each scaling across eight tiers of power. Six elemental influences—fire, ice, lightning, shadow, holy and poison—let you shape gear around your strategy. You can reforge, augment and fine-tune equipment using 290 crafting currencies.

Aether cards

Collect and build decks from 988 Aether cards, divided among three types and four rarities. Cards grant passive bonuses and build-defining effects that change how your team fights. Booster packs expand your collection, including with rare cards that unlock new strategies.

Dungeon runs

Procedurally challenging dungeon floors pit your team against enemy packs as you collect gear, crafting materials, Aether cards and currencies. Runs scale through infinite key levels: higher levels bring greater difficulty and better rewards. Dynamic affixes modify each run and require you to adapt your strategy.

Game modes

Each mode has Softcore and Hardcore variants. In Hardcore, you have one life and no second chances.

• Dungeon Clear: Fight through floors of enemies and bosses in an endlessly scaling dungeon crawl.
• Boss Rush: Face a gauntlet of bosses back-to-back, without the regular enemies.
• Survival: Endure waves of enemies for as long as your team can.
• Gauntlet: Take on a curated challenge run with preset conditions.

Challenges and rankings

A progression system of challenges offers rewards for mastering heroes, conquering specific modes and reaching milestones. Global leaderboards rank players by mode, including their deepest clears, fastest Boss Rushes and longest Survival runs, across every key level.
