HealingMatgo’s Arrow Guide When You First Start, and How to Replay the Guide
When you first log in to HealingMatgo, gold borders and arrows appear on the screen and tell you step by step “this is what this place is”. This is the guide (arrow guide). It appears only the first time, and you can watch it again any time you need. We have summed up in advance what it tells you, in what order.
1. When does it appear?
- When you create a profile and log in for the first time, after the notice and daily gift windows are both closed, it appears once on the start screen.
- The guide is remembered separately for each profile. If a family shares one computer, the guide appears again for someone who comes in with a new profile for the first time.
- Whether you press [Skip] midway or watch to the end, it is saved as “seen” and will not appear from the next time.
- While the guide is showing, just press [Next] to move on. At the bottom it shows which step you are on, like “3 / 11”.
2. The 11 steps of the first-screen guide
| Order | What it points to | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Opponent info | Face picture, name, score and record are shown, and if you click the face picture you can switch to a different opponent. |
| 2 | My info | Your name, score and record, the pts, Go, Shake and Ppeok counts for this round, and clicking your face changes your character. |
| 3 | Items | Click and a description window opens, and the item is actually used only when you press [Use]. Only the bright ones can be used now. |
| 4 | My HP | HP is the points you use when you use items. |
| 5 | Ticker board (news board) | Other people’s great records and event news appear large. |
| 6 | Hall of Legends | A collection of records posted on the website. With [Replays] you can watch that round right away. |
| 7 | Three Hall of Legends buttons | The difference between [All legends], [My legends] and [My records]. |
| 8 | Options (☰) | Sound, card speed, my info, profile backup, help, replaying the guide and quitting the game are all here. |
| 9 | Share with friends | The button for telling friends about HealingMatgo. |
| 10 | Choosing the game mode | Where you choose Single Match, Tournament or War of the Gods. |
| 11 | Start game | Press [Start game] to begin in Endless mode, and on your turn click a Hwatu card in your hand to play it. |
3. The first time you press a mode, you get one more guide
In Single Match, Tournament and War of the Gods, the first time you press one and the bracket or ladder screen appears, a guide just for that mode appears once. The three modes are remembered separately, so even if you have seen the Single Match guide, pressing Tournament for the first time shows its guide.
| Mode | Number of guide steps | What it mainly tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Single Match (Top 16) | 5 steps | 16 players play one round each. If you win you go Top 16 → Top 8 → semifinal → final → champion, if you lose you are eliminated, and if you draw you play the same opponent again. You can be listed in the Hall of Legends from the semifinal. |
| Tournament (Top 8, best of 3) | 6 steps | 8 players compete. A match is at most 3 rounds, and whoever wins 2 first wins. A draw does not count as a win and you play again. |
| War of the Gods | 7 steps | 10 gods stand like stairs, and if you lose to even one you challenge again from the beginning. You can be listed in the Hall of Legends from the 6th god. |
The War of the Gods guide also includes this explanation. If you do not pass the trials the gods set (3 small challenges), the god may see your cards. If the god plays knowing your cards, it becomes harder to win. If you pass a trial, you block the god’s power and your cards are not shown. The types of trials are in the 10 Trials of the Gods article.
4. I want to watch the guide again
Press “Replay guide” in the ☰ menu at the top left, and a selection window opens.
| Item | What it does | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| View main screen guide | Watch the 11-step first-screen guide again now. | You can watch it only on the game waiting screen (when the start button is visible). During a round, a message “You can watch it on the game waiting screen” appears. |
| Turn mode guides back on | Returns the Single Match, Tournament and War of the Gods guides to “not seen”. | It does not show right away, but appears again the next time you press that mode for the first time. |
