Gameplay
The battle begins with both fighters in the leftmost and rightmost parts of the screen respectively. The goal is to defeat your opponent. You can move towards your opponent and attack them by playing your action cards. Action cards are the way you execute actions in the game.
Action Cards
There are 3 types of action cards:
- Movement cards - By playing these, you can get closer to your opponent, or escape from them. Movement cards also have the highest priority of all other cards. Meaning that, if you play a movement card and your opponent plays another type of card, you will move before they execute their action. Which means that you can basically dodge (or run face first into an incoming attack that wouldn't have hit you had you done nothing) with movement cards.
- Support cards - By playing these, you can recover either your MP or HP, Guard, Transform or do a bunch of other cool things. These will usually have a description showing what they can do.
- Attack cards - This is the primary way you can attack your opponent. Attack cards are self explanatory, by playing one, you attack. There are melee attacks and ranged attacks, use whichever one makes the most sense based on your range. Usually, if an attack has large AOE, it will have low damage and vice-versa. By hovering over an attack card, you can see which squares the card will hit in relation to your own character.
Pro tip - You can hover over a card to see its description ingame. You may learn that some cards have special features.
Card Execution
You play 3 cards per turn, in the order that you've chosen them. The idea of the game is to predict which cards your opponent will play and choose whichever cards you think will leave you in a position to attack your opponent without leaving yourself open for attack.
