Battling

Once you reach level 10, you are able to access multiple arenas in which you can compete against other Players or Bot Teams.

## About Your Fighters

You can select up to 2 fighters per battle. You can select any two dinosaurs, even those that are only at level 1.

When a fighter is defeated, you cannot using it for another battle until it is down regenerating. You can speed up the process by using gems to give your dinosaur an energy drink, this will fully recharge them and you will be able to use them as a fighter again. Do not worry about ever losing your dinosaurs when they are defeated as they will eventually recover and continue to exist in their pens. The amount of time a dinosaur takes to recover varies from their level and species.

Dinosaurs will progressively get stronger everytime you evolve them. They will be at their max strenght at level 6. To increase these stats, you can either: 1. Use the Trampoline to train your dinosaur or 2. Collect Totems.

## Stats

Information about the dinosaur's stats will be displayed under their profile.

* **Attack Points**: The average highest amount of damage that the dinosaur can deal to its opponent.
* **Health Points**: The total number of life points the dinosaur has. For every attack that is dealt, these points will decrease.
* **Shield Durability**: This shield can be used to decrease the amount of damage taken after a hit.
* **Dino Speed**: The dinosaur's speed determines which fighter will have the first turn.

## Attack and Defense

When fighting against your opponent, you can either Attack or Defend.

* **Attacking**: Attacking your opponent deals damage to their fighters. To deal damage, click the green crossed-swords icon. The amount of damage that your fighter deals depends on their species and level.
* **Defending**: Defending against your opponent reduces the amount of damage taken from your opponent's fighter. To activate the sheild, click the blue shield icon. The amount of damage that is reduced depends on your fighter's species and level.

## Turns

Each dinosaur has different turns. These look like incomplete circles and appear underneath your active fighter.

The number of turns your dinosaur has can vary from 1 to 3 and depends on the species, sometimes also the level. Dinosaurs that start off with only 1 turn will receive a second turn when they are evolved to level 6. If a dinosaur starts off with 2 or 3 turns, they will not get an additional turn at any level.

* 1 Turn + an extra at level 6
	+ Applies to Ammonite and Pterodactyl

* 2 Turns
	+ Applies to Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Oviraptor, Ankylosaurus, Gallimimus, Archaeopteryx, Mammoth, Diplodocus, Therizinosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Iguanodon, Amargasaurus, Brachiosaurus, Incisivosaurus, Dacentrurus, Styracosaurus, Kentrosaurus

* 3 Turns
	+ Applies to T-Rex, Smilodon, Dimetrodon, Protoceratops, Ceratosaurus, Allosaurus, Plesiosaurus, Carnotaurus, Spinosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus

To activate an attack or defense, click either the swords or the shield (can be mixed if you have 2 or 3 turns) as the white meter moves. If you hit the white zone, your turn will be weak damage/defense. If you hit the green zone, your turn will be average damage/defense. If you hit the blue zone (barely visible, but it's at the very end of the green zone), your turn will be maximum damage/defense. If you hit the red zone, it means you've missed and your turn will be no damage/defense.

The speed at which the meter moves varies depending on the species of your dinosaur. It can either be slightly slow or fast. If your dinosaur has 2 or 3 turns, not all the meters may move at the same speed. One might be slower or faster than the other/others.
