Clash on Abaddon has elements from multiple game types and merges them into a deep and complex tower defense game. You have your standard tower defense mechanic of protecting yourself from waves of enemies racing down predetermined paths by creating towers of various types. Additionally, you can choose between a few heroes whose spells can increase your chances of success. These spells range from destructive energy attacks to boosting the attack speed and range of towers. Heroes can also activate beacons around the map that offer different effects such as revealing invisible units or increasing attack damage of all towers. Finally, CoA includes the classic StarCraft II economy management which allows you increase your probe count and upgrade your basic buildings so that you'll always have a healthy income.
