### Combat

Knocking opponents off the screen is the key to victory.

#### Objectives:

* Try out what you've learned and knock Wonder Woman off the screen.

### Damage

Below each character is a number indicating how much damage they've taken. The higher Damage Number, the farther that character will be knocked back when hit.

#### Objectives:

* Knock Wonder Woman off the screen. Notice how much farther she is knocked back due to her high Damage Number.

### Combo Attacks

Combo Attacks can be repeated to execute a unique string of Attacks. Try using your Combo Attack multiple times in a row.

### Charge Attacks

Charging up Attacks makes them more powerful. You can identify a Charge Attack by the circular meter that appears when using them.

#### Objectives:

* Press and hold the Attack button to charge your Neutral, Up, or Down Attacks. (3 Times)

### Unique Specials

Some Specials have unique properties. Shaggy's Neutral Special can be charged.

#### Objectives:

* Press and hold your Neutral Special to enrage! (1 Time)

Shaggy's Ground Down Special picks up a sandwich that can be thrown.

#### Objectives:

* Pick up a Sandwich with Shaggy's Ground Down Special. (1 Time)
* Throw the sandwich! (1 Time)

### Attack Decay

When an attack is used too often in succession, it incurs Attack Decay, reducing its Hitstun and Damage.

#### Objectives:

* Hit Wonder Woman with the same attack multiple times in a row to incur attack decay. Once incurred, continue to hit Wonder Woman with 4 decayed attacks. (4 Times)

It's much harder to Ring Out enemies using decayed attacks, so try and use a variety of moves when fighting. Notice the weaker Hitstun and Damage between the decayed attack on the left compared to the right.

#### Objectives:

* Hit Wonder Woman with 10 undecayed attacks. (10 Times)

### Practice
