Coop

### Introduction

In F&D you have the opportunity to play stages together with your friends or even find new friends by playing coop matches with random people from the community. Like normal matches cost energy, theese coop matches cost coop energy. Coop matches are turn based with the following turn order:

* initiators turn (3 heroes)
* all monsters
* joiners turn (6 heroes)
* all monsters
* initiators turn (6 heroes)
* all monsters
* ...

### How to start?

First of all, you need coop energy (see below). To start a coop match select the level you want to try and instead of "Fight" choose "Start co Op" (on the right side). After that you can choose which heroes you want to use. Beware that you can only send 3 heroes by yourself, the other 3 heroes are choosen by your coop partner. There is another catch, because the first round you have to fight alone! So you start your game with 3 heroes (not as normaly with 5 or 6) and perform your first move. After that all monsters move and attack. So the first round of a coop match is somehow special.

### How to find a coop partner?

After your first move (and after all monster have moved) you are presented the following screen:

In here you have make the following descisions:

1. Provide some of the following information
	1. Going for 3 crowns
	2. Reserved for a specific friend (so do not enter)
	3. Bring a healer (i need heal)
	4. Hard Battle (... so be prepared)
2. Specialize the allowed heroes which can enter
	1. by species
	2. by color
3. Choose where to publish your coop match
	1. On Discord (and your guild)
	2. In your guild (only)

From now on wait until somebody joins.

### How to join a coop match?

There are several ways to join a coop match.

1. In your guild -> battle invites
2. On Discord -> coop-matches
3. By entering the invite id on your coop screen

All the coop matches initiated by a member of your guild are automatically listed on the battle invites screen. You will see the level the want to start, which level is requiered for joining and which special requirements they have specified. In order to join the coop, click on the Join Button, choose your team (3 heroes) and start the action.

You can join random coop matches by visiting the coop-channel (https://discord.gg/KkUJ9ZdG). There you find a list of all coop matches with basicaly the same information provided as in "battle invites" screen. Coop-Matched which have already found a coop partner get a ✅-mark. If you find a coop match you would like to join: click the link (beginning with fnd::). This will automatically open the correct app and bring you to the coop screen.

You can manually join a coop match, for which you have gotten an invitation link:

1. by Copy the match-id from the invitation (the part after the "?")
2. Open your Fnd-App
3. Open the coop screen (from the right side)
4. Paste the battle id in the text field and click join

### Some specials about coop:

#### Remove coop matches

Sometimes you want to end a coop match for the one or other reason. To do this:

1. Enter your coop screen
2. Hit the button below to switch from "Play" to "Remove"
3. Select the match you want to remove
4. Confirm your selection
5. *Hit the button again to switch from "Remove" to "Play" !*

Be aware that if you do this there is no way to get back to that ccop match. Furthermore your partner also have to remove this match or it will timeout for him at some point in the future.

#### Timeout of coop matches

If either you or your partner did not do any move for more then 24 hours, the coop match will be deleted.

#### High level coop matches

Sometimes the level of your coop partner is that high, that joining this match with your current heroes will not result in a fair battle. Upon joining such a coop match you will recieve a notification about a high level coop match. If you decide to enter this match, this has two consequnces:

1. Your heroes get temporary leveled up to match the level requirements (Note that your talents will not get unlocked).
2. You will NOT recieve the normal reward (e.g. Rainbow XP), but you will recieve gold.
