The Knights pack is set in a [[Ye Goode Olde Days]] medieval setting. It usually features knights battling each other, either in small tournaments or large battles between rivaling castles. Castles consist of combinable modules that can be built by players, making huge [[Wide Open Sandbox]] knight levels popular too.

== Fantasy ==
=== Fantasy ===

The Fantasy pack mostly features mages competing in tournaments. The original fantasy scenarios radically differ from the fanmade ones which are extremely common in network; the original scenarios feature settling elements and are generally similar to normal clonk melees, while many fanmade ones play more like a sidescrolling magic shooter; mostly due to mana being cheap and quickly regenerating, the fanmade version of the Toad Jump spell which practically allows infinite [[Double Jump|Double Jumps]], and some spells that can [[One-Hit Kill]] a target.

=== Metal and Magic ===

The "Metal and Magic" pack combines contents and gameplay mechanics of the ''Knights'' and ''Fantasy'' packs and adds a great amount of new elements, like religion or assassins. Unlike most other Clonk packs, it has an elaborate [[Backstory]]. The magic system is rebalanced to allow fair fights between mages and knights.

Eke Reloaded is an action shooter pack with a military setting. Though it deals with a civil war and an alien invasion, it has a tongue-in-cheek tone and parodies cliches of soldiers, military games and the Action genre in general. Unlike most other Clonk packs, it has an official backstory.

== Blastwave Battle ==
=== Blastwave Battle ===
An unusual competitive scenario with two player teams. The unusual thing about it is that unlike in most Clonk scenarios you cannot directly reach your opponent to throw objects at them at close range, as the middle half of the map is a [[Bottomless Pits|bottomless pit]], and you [[One-Hit Kill|instantly die]] anyway if you manage to get across. Instead, you're supposed to [[Explosion Propulsion|utilize blastwaves]] to propel flints and other items to the enemy side, in order to either deplete all respawns of the enemy team by killing their clonks repeatedly or destroy their generator. There's also some money management thrown in, thanks to an interest rate system.

* [[Unstable Equilibrium]]: Skilled players will keep getting kills and obtain better equipment and enhanced skills which make getting more kills more likely and taking one less likely. Like in other [[MOBA|MOBAs]], low-skill players tend to "feed", getting killed often and bestowing much experience and money for the other team without getting mentionably more powerful themselves.
