D2 gambit is a combination of PVE and PVP gamemodes in D2, in which players kill ads to bank motes. Certain increments of motes summon blockers on the other side, which prevent the opposing team from baking motes. A total of 100 banked motes summons the Primeval. The first team to kill their Primeval wins the game. Other players can invade, which they can kill the opposing team's players to prevent them from banking motes or to give health back to the Primeval during that stage
