Attributes

There are 4 attributes that can be modified upon character creation, by spending Zeni:

• Strength: Controls the ammount of damage dealt by the character, as well as how much equiptment he can carry without dexterity penalities.
• Dexterity: Measures the character's ability to dodge or to hit its enemies. Also controls how much your character can act, having more or less rounds than its opponents. Can get penalities depending on how much equipment the character is carrying.
• Resistance: How much damage the character can get before being defeated. Also used to resist against status ailments.
• KI: Character's spiritual energy/magic/etc. Controls the power of KI based techniques and works as magic points that can be spent to execute techniques.
• Battle Power: Simply the average of the 4 attributes. It's a measure of the character's power, like a level, and is needed to create more powerful techniques.

Appearance

Each character is represented visually by a sprite and an avatar, which can be choosen from a list, a URL or by file upload.

Other Features

Techniques

Each character is born with a small set of basic techniques (punch, jump, move, dodge and block). Those techniques can be modified but it's not recommended. Instead, you should create new techniques through the "Techniques" menu of each character.

Technique Creation

A technique is composed by many features, as the so called "Improvements". Improvements aren't always good things, contrary to the name. Each good feature increases the learning time of the technique, as well as the battle power (average of the 4 attributes, like a level) needed to create it. The inverse applies to bad features.

General Features

• Name: Technique's name.
• Description: Technique's description, spoken by the announcer during fights.

Visual

Each technique can have its own sprite and avatar, which will be used upon its execution.

Types

Each technique has a specific type (or no type) Each type needs a specif equipment type equiped so it can be executed (i.e. sword techniques need a sword equiped by the character). Also, each character improves each proficiency level for each type. Those levels give bonuses during fights, as well as allow to create more advanced techniques. Currently these there are the types in the game:

Learning

The feature set of a technique defines its training time. Only level 0 techniques can be used immediately after being created. The other techniques should be learned during fights, by using other techniques. If the used technique has the same type as the one being learned, learning is faster. Only one technique can be learned each time, and it should be selected from the techniques not learned yet in your techniques list. Techniques with types can only be created if the character has a proficiency level on this type at least equal to the technique level.

Equipment

There are 4 equipment types: hand, head, body and accessory. You can equip 1 equipment per hand, as long as the equipment doesn't require both hands. It's possible to buy equipment at the shop. Equipment produces load for characters, so that their dexterity are reduced during fights (but the Strength attribute reduces this penalty). Each equipment has its own attributes: Attack (damage done), Defense (defense speed bonus), Resistance (damage absorbed), Distance (equipment range) and Weight. Also, they can cause or avoid abnormal statuses. And last, they can offer some element power, as well as resistance to them.

Fightings

Arenas

After your character is ready, you should go to the "Fight" menu item. There you'll enter an existing arena or will create a new arena. If there are at least 2 characters inside the arena, a fight can be started.

Game Mechanics

The fighting system consist basicaly in choosing techniques and targets. To the left you'll find your techniques list, and at the center there's a 2D arena map, divided in invisible squares. Just click a technique and, after that, a target. A target can be an opponent or an empty square. With opponents you can click it's sprite as well as it's avatar (use it when there are more than 1 character on the same square).

Time

Each character has a time bar which increases at each turn, proportionaly to each character's dexterity. When it's full, the character can execute techniques. Each technique uses some ammount of time (this ammount can be modified with the "Quickness" improvement). This time is a imaginary measure in the game, but real time has its role too. It's given 1 minute for the player to execute some action. After that, the time bar is emptied and the player loses its turn. So, if you'll not do anything, it's better to end your turn, so your time bar isn't emptied.

Defense

Every target can defend, as long as it has enough time. Because of that it's necessary to attain time sparing strategies during attacks, so you can defend when necessary. When a character defends, there's a technique match. The fastest technique wins and produces its effect on the opponent (this speed is modified by the "Speed" improvement). But the losing technique isn't nullified, unless its user has been hit by the winner technique.

Death

When a character's HP becomes 0 he dies, but stays on the arena. Allies can ressurrect him with healing techniques, or he can come back by means of healing equipment. The last character alive in the arena is the winner, which receives a Zeni prize.

Evolution

There isn't an unique level for each character. Each attribute evolves independently depending on its use during fightings. Dealing damage or carrying equipment increases strength. Hits or dodges increase dexterity. Receiving damage and healing from status ailments increses resistance. KI techniques increase KI. The use of specific type techniques increases proficiency on those types. The use of any technique progresses the learning of new techniques previously created, being this progress greater when the types of both techniques coincide. When the learning progress bar of a technique is full, you can use it.
