Combat Basics

**Combat Overview**

```
*There is no such thing as being safe in adventure. Danger is always lurking. Adventurers must train continuously to protect themselves from any threats they may encounter along the way. The name of blessing the gods bestow upon you must be ‘perseverance and endeavor’, not ‘luck’. After all, luck is but a chance.*

```

There can be up to 4 characters in a party. The player can directly control one of the characters to make it move or attack the monster. Enjoy the action while attacking and dodging the monsters!

All party members are placed on the battlefield to fight together. You can switch between any characters in the party to control them. If you make use of this well, you can experience a balanced gameplay by manipulating a melee character to draw in monsters from the front and switching to a ranged character to safely attack from the rear. You can also maximize the synergy between party members by shifting between characters at the right time and using the apt skills.

The three initial characters, Ruby, Lapis and Linnete, form a well-balanced party each with roles as a melee defense type, a mid-range support type and a ranged attack type, but one slot will be empty.

You can complete a party of 4 by adding another character according to their roles or the element of the monster you want to defeat. You can implement different strategies such as adding an offense character to add more damage to the party, or adding a red element character to deal with blue element monsters. You can also replace Ruby, Lapis, or Linette with other characters.

Now its time to get into some finer details.

## Elements and Stella Strikes

### **Elements**

#### *Basics of the elements*

Every character has their own base element, each element is strong or weak against another element

Blue is strong against Red and weak against Green

Red is strong against Green and weak against Blue

Green is strong against Blue and weak against Red

White is both strong and weak against Black - White also has extra resistance against White

Black is both strong and weak against White - Black also has extra resistance against Black

#### *How elements effect characters*

All characters will start off with -2500 element defense points to the element they are weak against, As well as all their attacks being of their own base element. This means that while a blue elemental character starts out with 0 blue elemental attack, they already have a 2500 elemental attack difference against a red character.

While all elemental defense is beneficial to a character, only the characters base elemental attack can be increased (Adding red elemental damage to a blue character has no effect)

```
While we haven't worked out exactly how elemental damage is calculated yet, it is believed that a base 2500 difference is approx 30% more damage.

```

##### *Different type of elemental buffs*

Through passives / equipment / dolls and the Ring of Stella, elemental attack and defense can be increased.

```
Passives - There are 6 elemental DEF passives and only 1 elemental ATK passive

```

- Stella's Judgement (+500 all elemental ATK)

- Stella's Blessing (+500 all elemental DEF)

- 5 Elemental Guardian passives which each give +1000 elemental defense to their corresponding element e.g Blue Guardian gives +1000 blue elemental defense. (stats indicated are level 1 passives)

```
Equipment - There are 2 pieces of equipment that can increase elemental attack or defense.

```

- Earrings prioritise elemental attack as their main stat, while giving a random minor boost to elemental defense.

- Necklaces prioritise elemental defense as their main stat, while giving a random minor boost to elemental attack.
