# Overview

Start here.

Summoning is the act of bringing the blood of two Champions together to create a third, brand new Champion.

Summoning can be done within a Battlemaster’s own Barracks - between their existing Champions - or it can be done on an open marketplace, mixing the blood of their own Champions with that of other players’. 

The goal of Summoning is to combine the skills of Champions - preferably using the knowledge you have gained from Wisdom (revealing their traits, strengths, and weaknesses) - to create either more powerful Champions, more likely to win in Tournaments, or Champions of a particular cosmetic rarity. 

In some instances, you may seek to optimise for both outcomes - generating not only cosmetically rare, but highly effective Champions too.
