Paint
1. Claim hexes early
Fly over unclaimed tiles to paint them your color. Own ground first — kills alone do not win Domination.

Own the hex. Hold Domination.
CLASHROIDS Arena is hex territory control — paint the map, park turrets on claimed ground, and rotate ships while Domination ticks. Play free in the browser, then wishlist on Steam for cheap Early Access.
How the Arena works
Hold
2. Sit Domination points
Captured points tick score while your team holds them. Leave a painter on the hex; send the duelist to contest the lane.
Defend
3. Turrets on claimed ground
Spend scrap to drop turrets only on tiles you own. Empty space is a death zone for static builds — paint, then fortify.
Rotate
4. Swap ships mid-fight
Interceptor for chase, Vanguard for mid-range pressure, Bastion for hold. Mid-session swaps beat stubborn one-class runs.
Map control habits
- 5. Bank scrap before the first Domination flip — empty pockets lose the recontest.
- Peel for your Bastion on the point instead of chasing every kill feed.
- Boost in to paint, Energy Shield out when the lane collapses.
- One painter + one duelist beats two hunters who ignore the hex.
