Back to Main. Beware of spoilers!
"Fairies focus on the small and common things and make them magically powerful. Affiliating yourself with the Fairy faction will hugely improve the output of lower tier buildings."
- Fairy in a Bottle: Not the Fairies themselves, but the Bottled Voice artifact contains "The essence of a melodic Fairy voice".
- Magic Music: Their Farms, Inns and Blacksmiths produce more when under the effect of a Fairy Chanting, which can be further upgraded to a Choir and finally an Orchestra.

- Critical Hit: Elven Luck, their second Alliance upgrade, gives you a small chance to gain several magnitudes of your current production with a single click.
- Crutch Character: As a click-based faction, the Elven start powerful at the beginning of a few stages, then gradually get weaker. Their higher faction coin chance is invaluable from a fresh start of the first few runs, but becomes less relevant when slower, but stronger and more stable factions can afford to buy their own upgrades.
- Crippling Overspecialization: Over-reliant on clicks, the Elves cannot keep up with the rest of the factions once Tax Collections become the best source of production and faction coins.
- Elfeminate: Their portrait is that of a good looking male elf.

"The sly Goblins excel at making the best possible deals and bargains. Affiliating yourself with the Goblin faction will offer you economic opportunities and allows you to benefit from larger quantities of everything."
- Magikarp Power: Start with no innate mana regeneration, the Goblins begin the game with a moderately expensive spell that lasts only 5 seconds. Eventually this no longer becomes a problem, as the Research upgrades "Conjuration" and "Berserking" allows them to cast multiple Tax Collections at once.
- Useless Useful Spell: The Green Fingers Discount upgrade gives a random amount of coins every 10 (or 2 with the Discount Season Challenge reward) minutes from your assistants and buildings. It ignores boosts from spells, which are your main source of production for most of the game.

- Jerkass: In the "Infernal Realm" quest they rudely demand you build more Hell Portals in order to invade the Realm.

- Chain Lightning: One of their unique Research upgrades is named this. The more times Lightning Strike is cast, the stronger non-targeted buildings become.
- Grandpa God: What their faction portrait resembles.
- Mighty Glacier: Powerful upgrades, but no innate mana regeneration. This changes with help from their research upgrade Offering, turning them into the economic version of Lightning Bruisers.
- Shock and Awe
- Our Titans Are Different
"The wise druids of old were a group of people from all races who strove to maintain world balance with mystical discipline and powerful magic. Affiliating yourself with the Druids faction will boost your magic capabilities and reward balancing of all things."
- Circle of Standing Stones: Their Unique Building, Stonehenge.
- Druid
- In the Hood
- Horned Humanoid
- Magikarp Power: The Grand Balance spell initially only boosts the lowest performing building tiers, making it less than useful. Completing all of the Druid Challenges unlocks a bonus that increases the number of tiers GB hits depending on total mana produced.

- Mana Meter: Their maximum mana can grow far beyond any other faction's.

- Ultimate Blacksmith: Dwarven Forges are their Unique Building, getting stronger the more mana regeneration you have.
"The Drow believe that any crime can go unpunished if nobody notices you did it. They value and praise perfect executions, and will reward those who plan accordingly."
- Combo: Their faction spell, Combo Strike, becomes more powerful the more times you cast it.
- Mook Maker: Stalking produces an assistant for every hundred seconds a Combo Strike is active.
- Spiders Are Scary: Their assistants are spiders and they worship the Spider Gods.
"The Dragon is the mightiest, most imposing creature of all the realms. None may stand a chance alone against a Dragon, not even the fiercest of heroes."
