A Storm is Coming – Are You Ready? ⛈️
Welcome, Commander, to the ultimate guide for Stormgate! The battle for Earth’s future is on, and whether you’re a seasoned RTS vet or a total newbie, this handbook is your key to victory. 🔑 Developed by Frost Giant Studios, a team made up of legends from games like StarCraft II and Warcraft III, Stormgate is built to be the next BIG thing in competitive RTS gaming.
What is Stormgate? The Next-Gen RTS is HERE! 🚀
Stormgate is a free-to-play RTS set on a post-apocalyptic Earth, centuries after a demonic alien race, the Infernal Host 😈, invaded through dimensional portals called Stormgates and nearly wiped out humanity. Now, three awesome, asymmetric factions—the tough-as-nails Human Vanguard 🤖, the relentless Infernal Host 👹, and the super-advanced Celestial Armada ✨—are duking it out for control of a shattered world.
The game’s whole vibe is making the super-complex RTS genre easier for new players to get into, while keeping the huge strategic depth and high skill ceiling that competitive players crave. This guide is built on that exact same idea. 😉

- Part 2 gives you a deep dive into each of the three factions, breaking down their unique mechanics, units, and go-to strategies.
- Part 3 levels up your game with advanced combat tactics, army compositions, and high-level strategy. 🧠
- Parts 4, 5, and 6 explore every game mode, give you tips for solo and free-to-play commanders, and look at the future of the awesome Stormgate community.
The Core Gameplay Loop: Understanding Macro, Micro, and Map Control 🔄
At its heart, the gameplay loop in Stormgate is a classic RTS formula, but polished for today’s gamers: gather resources to build your base, make a powerful army, and strategically outplay your opponent to win. To succeed, you’ve gotta balance two key skills:
- Macro: Short for macromanagement, this is the art of managing your economy and production. It’s all about constantly making worker units, expanding to new resource bases, and cranking out an army and upgrades. 🏭
- Micro: Short for micromanagement, this is the skill of controlling your units in a fight. It includes things like focus-firing important targets, dodging enemy attacks, and using unit abilities to turn the tide of battle. 💃
Mastering the dance between these two skills is your first step on the path to becoming a legendary commander in Stormgate.
Part 1: Fundamentals of Command: Mastering the Basics 🎓
Every victory starts with a single step. This section gives you the foundational knowledge you need to start your journey in Stormgate, focusing on the core mechanics that apply to every faction and every match.
Your First Match: A Guided Start ▶️
The first few minutes of any Stormgate match are super critical. Here’s a universal opening to get you started:
- Queue Workers: Immediately start making worker units from your main command building. A constant stream of workers is the foundation of a strong economy. 👷♂️👷♀️
- Build a Supply Structure: Your starting units will quickly hit your supply limit. Build your faction’s supply building (like a Vanguard Habitat) so you can keep making more units.
- Construct a Production Building: Build your first building that makes army units (like a Vanguard Barracks). ⚔️
- Scout Your Opponent: Send your first scouting unit to your opponent’s base to see what they’re up to. 👀
- Continue Production: Never. Stop. Making. Workers. And. Army. A common mistake for new players is to stop building their economy when they’re focused on an attack.
To make this easier, Stormgate has cool quality-of-life features like the “BuddyBot,” an optional AI assistant that can help manage your base, and automated control groups that add new units to a hotkey for you. How cool is that?! 😎
The Art of the Economy: A Deep Dive into Luminite and Therium 💰
The Stormgate economy is all about two main resources: Luminite and Therium.
- Luminite 💎: This is your main resource, used for basic buildings, core units, and early-game upgrades. You get it from big, crystalline mineral nodes.
- Therium ⛽: This is your secondary “tech” resource, needed for advanced units, powerful upgrades, and higher-tier buildings.
Worker Saturation and Expansion Timing
To build a killer economy, you have to harvest these resources efficiently. For Luminite, the sweet spot is 12 workers per mining base. You can add more, but you’ll get way less bang for your buck after the first 8 workers.
Therium fields are more dynamic. They don’t start with all their resources available; new nodes pop up over time. If you don’t mine them, they’ll eventually become “enriched,” doubling their harvest rate. This creates a cool strategic choice: do you harvest Therium early for a quick tech advantage, or wait for it to enrich for a bigger long-term payout? 🤔
As your starting base runs out of resources, you have to expand by building a new command center at another resource spot. A “fast expand” is a popular strategy where you prioritize building a second base super early to get a massive economic lead.
Controlling the Battlefield: The Importance of Creep Camps and Scouting 🗺️
Unlike a lot of old-school RTS games where you can just chill in your base, Stormgate is designed to get you out on the map and fighting early. The main reason for this is the network of neutral “creep” camps all over the map. These camps are guarded by neutral creatures, and clearing them gives you instant shots of Luminite and Therium, plus other powerful bonuses.
This system forces players to move their armies out early to fight for these valuable resources, which naturally leads to skirmishes and stops matches from becoming slow “turtling” fests. Early scouting is therefore super important, not just to see what your opponent is building, but also to track where they’re moving as they go for these neutral objectives.
| Camp Type | Primary Reward | Strategic Bonus | Priority Level |
| Resource Camp 💰 | Luminite & Therium | Provides a direct economic boost. | High (Early-Mid Game) |
| Vision Camp 👀 | Luminite | Grants vision over a large area, like a watchtower. | Medium (All Stages) |
| Speed Camp 👟 | Luminite | Grants a temporary movement speed buff to your army. | High (Before a major attack) |
| Health Camp ❤️ | Therium | Grants a temporary health regeneration buff to your army. | High (After a major battle) |
Part 2: The Factions of a Shattered Earth 🌍
Stormgate has three super different factions, each with a unique playstyle. Mastering your chosen faction—and understanding your enemy’s—is crucial. They’re designed on a spectrum of familiarity. The Human Vanguard 🤖 is a classic, intuitive RTS experience. The Infernal Host 😈 has unique mechanics that are a cool twist on familiar ideas. The Celestial Armada ✨, however, is a totally wild departure from RTS tradition, designed to challenge even the most experienced pros.
The Human Vanguard: For Humanity! 🤖
The Vanguard are the tough defenders of Earth, mixing futuristic military tech with pure grit. They have a versatile and durable playstyle that’ll feel comfy for players of classic RTS games.
Faction Overview: Strengths, Weaknesses, and Unique Mechanics
- Veterancy ⭐: Vanguard units that survive combat gain XP and level up, permanently boosting their max health. This mechanic heavily rewards players who can keep their units alive with good control, making a veteran army way stronger than a new one.
- Automation & Versatility 🛠️: Vanguard worker units, called Servos, can team up to construct a single building, making it go up way faster. Plus, many Vanguard units and buildings can transform into different modes. The Sentry Post, a basic defensive tower, can be garrisoned by different infantry to turn it into a Flak Cannon (anti-air) or a Med Station (healing).
Unit Roster & Analysis: From the Humble Lancer to the Mighty Helicarrier
The Vanguard has a well-rounded army of infantry, mechs, and aircraft. Here’s a look at their key combat units.
| Unit Name | Tier | Cost (Lum/The) | Sup | HP | Armor | Damage (G/A) | Range | Attributes |
| S.C.O.U.T. 🏍️ | 1 | 50/0 | 1 | 120 | 0 | 5 (+3 vs Light) / – | 0.1 | Biological, Light, Mechanical |
| Lancer 🛡️ | 1 | 100/0 | 2 | 200 | 1 | 12 (+3 vs Light) / – | 1.5 | Biological, Heavy |
| Exo 🔫 | 1 | 75/25 | 2 | 110 | 0 | 13 / 13 (+2 vs Heavy) | 6 | Biological, Light |
| MedTech 👩⚕️ | 2 | 100/50 | 3 | 200 | 0 | 5 / 5 | 8.5 | Biological, Heavy, Mechanical |
| Vulcan 🔥 | 2 | 200/100 | 5 | 450 | 1 | 3 (+3 vs Light) / – | 7 | Heavy, Mechanical |
| Atlas 💣 | 2 | 250/125 | 6 | 300 | 1 | 80 (+40 vs Heavy) / – | 16 | Heavy, Mechanical |
| Hornet ✈️ | 2 | 150/75 | 4 | 210 | 0 | 6 / 13 (+4 vs Light) | 4/6 | Light, Mechanical |
| Sentinel 👁️ | 2 | 75/125 | 4 | 250 | 0 | 10 / 10 | 7 | Light, Mechanical, Detector |
| Helicarrier 🚁 | 3 | 375/325 | 8 | 600 | 2 | 12 / 12 | 4 | Heavy, Mechanical |
Buildings & Technology Path
Vanguard tech progresses in a straight line by upgrading their main Command Post.
- Core Structures: Command Post
Central Command
High Command
- Production: Barracks (Infantry), Mech Bay (Ground Vehicles), Hangar Bay (Air Units)
- Upgrades: Biokinetics Lab (Infantry Upgrades), Machine Lab (Mechanical Upgrades)
Essential Build Orders & Strategies
- Beginner Build: The 3-Rax Lancer/Exo Push 💪. This is a powerful one-base timing attack. You build three Barracks and pump out a huge force of Lancers (to tank) and Exos (for damage). You wanna attack before your opponent can get their economy or better units going.
- Advanced Strategy: Mech-Based Map Control 🗺️. This strategy focuses on getting to Tier 2 to make Vulcans for area control and the long-range Atlas for sieging. Supported by MedTechs for healing and Evac transports for mobility, this army can control huge parts of the map and take apart an opponent’s base piece by piece.
The Infernal Host: Embrace the Swarm 😈
The Infernal Host is a demonic race of alien invaders who crush their enemies with huge numbers and dark magic. Their playstyle is aggressive and all about controlling the map with a corrupting fog called Shroud.
Faction Overview: Strengths, Weaknesses, and Unique Mechanics
- Shroud 🌫️: Infernal buildings create a swirling, dark fog called Shroud. When Infernal units fight in this fog, they get a temporary, regenerating health shield (“White Health”). This makes them incredibly tough when fighting at home, encouraging you to spread your spooky fog all over the map.
- Summoning summoning: Infernal units aren’t built over time. Instead, their production buildings build up charges, which you can spend to summon units instantly onto the battlefield. This lets you reinforce super fast and rebuild an army in a flash after a bad fight.
- Animus 👻: The Infernals’ unique resource is Animus, which they get from the “souls” of any units that die on the battlefield—yours and theirs! This rewards aggressive play and trading units, since even your losses fuel their powerful abilities.
Unit Roster & Analysis: Unleashing the Demonic Horde
The Infernal army is a mix of big brutes, speedy fiends, and powerful spellcasters.
| Unit Name | Tier | Cost (Lum/The) | Sup | HP | Armor | Damage (G/A) | Range | Attributes |
| Gaunt 🏹 | 1 | 50/12.5 | 1 | 75 | 0 | 8 (+2 vs Light) / 8 (+2 vs Light) | 5/7 | Biological, Light |
| Brute 💪 | 1 | 150/0 | 3 | 195 | 0 | 22 / – | 1.25 | Biological, Heavy |
| Hexen 🧙 | 1 | 75/100 | 2 | 160 | 0 | 6 / 6 | 7 | Biological, Light |
| Magmadon 🌋 | 2 | 275/125 | 6 | 540 | 2 | 40 (+25 vs Heavy) / – | 0.5 | Biological, Heavy |
| Hellborne 💥 | 2 | 275/75 | 6 | 240 | 1 | 30 (+45 vs Heavy) / – | 10 | Biological, Heavy |
| Weaver 🕸️ | 2 | 125/175 | 5 | 380 | 0 | 5 / – | 2 | Biological, Light |
| Shadowflyer 🦇 | 2 | 25/37.5 | 1 | 65 | 0 | – / – | – | Biological, Light, Detector |
| Spriggan 🐾 | 2 | 50/25 | 1 | 80 | 0 | 6 (+3 vs Heavy) / 6 (+3 vs Heavy) | 4 | Biological, Light |
| Flayed Dragon 🐉 | 3 | 750/750 | 15 | 700 | 2 | 90 (+50 vs Structure) / 90 | 6 | Biological, Heavy |
Buildings & Rituals
The Infernal tech tree is all about upgrading their main Shrine and unlocking new summoning buildings.
- Core Structures: Shrine
Greater Shrine
Elder Shrine
- Production: Iron Vault (Heavy Ground), Conclave (Light Ground/Casters), Twilight Spire (Air Units)
- Upgrades: Hellforge (Global Upgrades), Ritual Chamber (Caster Upgrades, Summons Flayed Dragon)
Essential Build Orders & Strategies
- Beginner Build: Vault/Conclave All-In 🏃♂️. This aggressive opening involves building an early Iron Vault and Conclave, then using the instant summon to create a massive army of Brutes and Gaunts. The goal is to attack your opponent while they’re trying to expand, crushing them with pure numbers.
- Advanced Strategy: Shroud Creep and Attrition 💀. A slower approach focused on map control. You use Imps to build Shroudstones forward across the map, expanding your empowered combat zones. By forcing fights on the Shroud and trading units, you can generate a ton of Animus to fuel powerful late-game abilities and win a war of attrition.
The Celestial Armada: The Cosmic Order ✨
The Celestial Armada is an ancient, angelic race with tech so advanced it’s basically magic. Their gameplay is super unconventional, focusing on extreme mobility, map presence, and powerful global abilities.
Faction Overview: Strengths, Weaknesses, and Unique Mechanics
- Unconventional Warfare 🛸: The Celestials start with a flying command structure, the Arcship. They don’t use workers to build. Instead, they warp in buildings from orbit anywhere inside a “Cascade Field” projected by the Arcship or other buildings. This lets them set up a base anywhere on the map right from the start!
- Power ⚡: Celestials don’t use traditional supply. Instead, their buildings need Power, which is generated by Power Banks. Managing your Power grid is crucial; having extra Power gives your whole army buffs and fuels your big abilities, while a deficit will cripple you.
- Centralized Production ☝️: All Celestial units are made from a single “Prime” building, which can be any of their production structures. This simplifies production and lets you rally your entire army from one spot, no matter where your buildings are.
Unit Roster & Analysis: Wielding Technology as Magic
The Celestial army is made of angelic Biosynths and terrifying robotic constructs of the Machine Legion.
| Unit Name | Tier | Cost (Lum/The) | Power | HP | Armor | Damage (G/A) | Range | Attributes |
| Argent 😇 | 1 | 125/25 | 3 | 120 | 0 | 8 / 8 | 6 | Biological, Heavy |
| Kri 🦗 | 1 | 75/25 | 2 | 150 | 0 | 16 (+8 vs Light) / – | 0.1 | Mechanical, Light |
| Vector 🚀 | 1 | 100/50 | 3 | 100 | 0 | 10 / 10 | 6 | Mechanical, Light |
| Saber 🦁 | 2 | 150/150 | 5 | 200 | 0 | 25 (+25 vs Heavy) / – | 9 | Mechanical, Heavy |
| Animancer 🔮 | 2 | 75/150 | 4 | 150 | 0 | 10 / – | 6 | Biological, Light |
| Scythe 🔪 | 2 | 150/100 | 4 | 200 | 0 | 15 / 15 | 6 | Mechanical, Light |
| Archangel 👼 | 3 | 400/300 | 8 | 500 | 1 | 40 / 40 | 8 | Mechanical, Heavy |
Buildings & Interventions
Celestial expansion is all about spreading your Cascade Field and managing your Power grid.
- Core Structures: Arcship
Arcstation
Arcfortress
- Production: Creation Chamber, Starforge, Legion Hall
- Economy/Power: Collection Array (Passive Luminite Mining), Therium Purifier, Power Bank
- Astral Interventions (Top-Bar Abilities): Power Surge, Zenith Scan, Evolution Catalyst, Purify.
Essential Build Orders & Strategies
- Beginner Build: Forward Argent Pressure 👊. This build uses the Arcship’s mobility. Fly your Arcship toward your opponent’s side of the map and warp in a Creation Chamber and Power Banks. Use this forward position to put on immediate pressure with a constant stream of Argent units.
- Advanced Strategy: Global Harassment 🌍. A complex strategy that uses the Arcship to create multiple, separate bases across the map. You harass your opponent from several directions at once with mobile units like Vectors and Kri, forcing them to split their army while you build up a powerful, high-tech force in a safe spot.
Part 3: The Art of War: Advanced Strategy & Tactics ⚔️
Once you have a good handle on the factions, it’s time to learn the universal principles that separate good players from great ones. This is the art of war in Stormgate.
Unit Compositions & Counters: The Strategic Triangle of Power 🔺
Stormgate uses a “soft counter” system. This means while some units are better against others, having more units, better positioning, and great micro can often win a bad matchup. Success is less about a simple rock-paper-scissors game and more about building a synergistic army. A well-rounded army usually includes:
- Frontline: Tough melee units to soak up damage (e.g., Vanguard Lancers, Infernal Brutes). 💪
- DPS: Ranged units that deal consistent damage from the back (e.g., Vanguard Exos, Infernal Gaunts). 🎯
- AoE (Area of Effect): Units that can damage multiple enemies at once, great for breaking up big armies (e.g., Vanguard Atlas, Infernal Magmadon). 💥
- Support: Casters or healers that buff your army or debuff the enemy (e.g., Vanguard MedTech, Infernal Weaver). ✨
- Anti-Air: Units specifically designed to shoot down flying threats (e.g., Vanguard Hornets, Infernal Gaunts). ✈️
The table below gives you a simple overview of key unit counters. Green means it’s a good matchup, while red means it’s a bad one.
| Attacking Unit | vs. Lancer (Heavy Bio) | vs. Exo (Light Bio) | vs. Gaunt (Light Bio) | vs. Brute (Heavy Bio) | vs. Argent (Heavy Bio) | vs. Kri (Light Mech) |
| Lancer (Van) 🤖 | 😐 | ✅ | ✅ | 😐 | 😐 | ❌ |
| Exo (Van) 🤖 | ❌ | 😐 | 😐 | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Vulcan (Van) 🤖 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Gaunt (Inf) 😈 | ❌ | ✅ | 😐 | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Brute (Inf) 😈 | 😐 | ✅ | ✅ | 😐 | 😐 | ❌ |
| Hellborne (Inf) 😈 | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Argent (Cel) ✨ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | 😐 | ❌ |
| Kri (Cel) ✨ | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | 😐 |
Micro-Management Masterclass: Maximizing Your Army’s Potential 🤯
Micro is how you make your army perform better than its stats say it should. Key techniques include:
- Focus Firing: Telling your whole army to attack a single high-value enemy (like a caster or siege unit) to delete it quickly.
- Kiting: A technique for ranged units. You attack an enemy, move back while your weapon is on cooldown, then stop to attack again. This lets you deal damage without taking any from slower melee units. 🚶♂️
- Splitting: When you see an enemy AoE attack coming (like an Atlas shot), quickly select some of your units and move them away from the main group to minimize the damage.
Macro-Management for a Thriving Empire 🏰
Excellent macro is the engine that powers your war machine. A strong player follows a constant “macro cycle“:
- Check worker production. Are your command centers always building them? 👷
- Check supply. Are you close to your limit? If so, build a supply structure. 🏠
- Spend your resources. A big bank of unspent Luminite and Therium is a wasted advantage. Build more units, buildings, or upgrades! 💸
- Expand. Are your current resource nodes running low? It’s time to secure a new base. 🗺️
Unorthodox Tactics: Harassment, Timing Attacks, and Exploiting Terrain 😎
Beyond just head-on fights, high-level play is about outsmarting your opponent.
- Harassment: Use small, fast forces to attack your opponent’s undefended worker lines. An Evac full of Vulcans or a pack of speedy Infernal Spriggans can cripple an enemy’s economy.
- Timing Attacks: This is attacking at a specific moment of strength. For example, attacking the second your +1 attack upgrade finishes, giving you a huge advantage over an opponent who doesn’t have it yet. ⏰
- Proxying: A high-risk, high-reward strategy where you build a production building hidden near your opponent’s base to flood them with units way earlier than they expect.
The current meta in Stormgate’s early access is super fast and aggressive. Games are often decided in the first few minutes by rushes and all-in attacks with Tier 1 units. This means that a passive, greedy opening is often a recipe for disaster. To win, you have to learn to build early defenses, scout like a hawk to see what’s coming, and be ready to make army units from the very start of the match.
Part 4: Arenas of Conflict: A Guide to Every Game Mode 🕹️
Stormgate offers a bunch of ways to play, from intense 1v1 duels to co-op battles against the AI.
The 1v1 Ladder: The Path to Competitive Glory 🏆
This is the ultimate test of skill. In 1v1, there are no teammates to rely on—just your strategy, mechanics, and decision-making. To succeed on the ladder, you need a deep understanding of the meta (the most effective strategies people are using), solid execution of your builds, and the ability to adapt to what your opponent is doing. Watching your own replays is one of the best ways to spot mistakes and get better.
3v3 Team Mayhem: Strategy and Coordination for Victory 🧑🤝🧑
Designed from the ground up to be a unique experience, 3v3 is more than just a bigger 1v1. This mode is objective-based, with win conditions like capturing and holding key points on the map. Cool features include shared rewards for clearing creep camps and a “no-elimination” policy, meaning a defeated player can keep supporting their team, so everyone stays in the action until the end. 🎉
Co-Op Missions: Hero Guides, Builds, and Synergies 🦸
In this 3-player co-op mode, you and two allies team up against a powerful AI in objective-based missions. Each player picks a unique “Commander” or “Hero,” which is a powerful sub-faction with unique units, upgrades, and super powerful top-bar abilities. As you play, your hero gains XP and levels up, unlocking even more power. Success means coordinating with your teammates to cover the map and combining your unique hero abilities to win.
The “Ashes of Earth” Campaign: A Spoiler-Free Walkthrough 📖
The “Ashes of Earth” campaign tells the story of the Human Vanguard and their desperate fight for survival against the Infernal Host. While playing the story, always explore the map! Just like in Warcraft III‘s campaigns, many missions have hidden caches of resources, optional objectives, and powerful items that can give you a big advantage. The first three missions of the campaign are free to play, with more chapters available as optional purchases.
Part 5: The Solo and Free-to-Play Player’s Handbook F2P ❤️

Optional purchases include unlocking the full level progression for co-op heroes, buying more campaign chapters, and getting cosmetic items. 💅
Sharpening Your Skills Solo: Effective Practice Against AI 🤖
The vs. AI skirmish mode is an amazing tool for practicing solo. Use it to drill your build orders without the pressure of a real opponent. Set clear goals for each practice session, like perfecting your opening for the first five minutes or practicing a specific micro-intensive army. This deliberate practice is the fastest way to build the muscle memory needed to compete.
