Combat

Combat is fully automatic turn-based simulation. You pick the squad; the engine resolves the fight (max 100 turns safety limit). The same core powers campaign, tower, and — via a team-vs-team variant — the Arena.

Turn order

Units act in speed order each round. Speed = effective SPD + gear/Famion bonuses + class speed bonus (Striker +10, Reaper +5, Esper/Enforcer 0, Healer −10). Status effects like haste / slow shift it. Famions are slow (scale with affection) and generally act last.

The damage formula

Each normal attack runs this pipeline (calculateDamage):

Stun → skip turn. Blind → 30% chance to miss.
Attack type: Espers and Healers deal special damage (use SP.ATK vs SP.DEF); everyone else deals physical (ATK vs DEF).
Base + variance: attackStat × (0.8–1.2) — ±20% random spread.
Attacker passives/actives (see below) multiply damage.
Crit: base 15% chance, ×1.5 damage. (Reaper passive adds +10% chance / +25% crit damage.)
Element advantage: ×1.25 strong / ×0.75 weak / ×1.25 rival / ×1.15 mirror.
Attack buffs: attack_up ×1.25, attack_down ×0.75.
Defense mitigation — the target's effective DEF (or SP.DEF) is modified by:
- Enforcer Iron Will: +30% DEF when below 50% HP
- Healer Blessed Aura: +15% DEF to all allies (incl. the healer)
- Esper Arcane Mastery: attacker ignores 30% of DEF
- defense_up ×1.3 / defense_down ×0.7
- Reduction applied as DEF / (DEF + 100) (diminishing returns)
Element damage-taken reduction (the 0.85 / 1.15 side of the matchup).
Shield absorbs remaining damage before HP.
Damage floored to a minimum of 1.

Class passives & actives

Class	Ability	Effect
Striker	Bloodlust (passive)	+15% damage per kill this battle (stacks)
Striker	Execute (active)	+50% damage vs targets below 25% HP
Reaper	Precision (passive)	+10% crit chance, +25% crit damage
Reaper	Assassinate (active)	Special hit every 3rd attack
Esper	Arcane Mastery (passive)	Ignores 30% of the target's DEF
Esper	Mind Blast (active)	AoE hit every 4th ability (replaces normal attack)
Enforcer	Iron Will (passive)	+30% DEF below 50% HP
Enforcer	Taunt (active)	Forces enemies to target it when below 50% HP
Healer	Blessed Aura (passive)	+15% DEF to the whole team
Healer	Restoration (active)	Heals the lowest-HP ally

Rage & Ultimates

Every unit builds Rage (0–100) and fires its Ultimate at 100.

Event	Rage gained
Deal damage	+5
Land a crit	+5 (bonus)
Take damage	+10
Score a kill	+15
Starting rage	10

Rage caps at 100.
Bosses gain 50% less rage — their ultimates come out slower.
Ultimates are data-driven per hero (hero.ultimate): a type (damage/heal/buff/debuff/ utility), a target (single / all_enemies / all_allies / self / lowest_hp_ally / lowest_hp_enemy), and a list of effects (damage, heal, apply_buff, apply_debuff, cleanse, dispel). Enemies use class-archetype ultimates (getEnemyUltimate), stronger for bosses.

Status effects

Effect	Type	Behaviour
`poison`	debuff	5% max HP damage/turn
`burn`	debuff	8% max HP damage/turn
`regen`	buff	Heals 5% max HP/turn
`curse`	debuff	Blocks all healing
`shield`	buff	Absorbs incoming damage (value-based)
`stun`	debuff	Skip turn
`blind`	debuff	30% miss chance
`haste` / `slow`	buff/debuff	Shift turn order
`attack_up/down`, `defense_up/down`	buff/debuff	±25% damage / ±30% DEF
`immunity`	buff	Blocks new debuffs

Effects stack by extending duration, not intensity. Bosses resist debuff duration by 50% (rounded up).

Famions in battle

Bonded Famions join the fight as targetable units beside their hero (front = targeted first, behind = last). They attack for low power, carry their own element, and — critically — if a Famion dies, its stat buff is stripped from the bonded hero. Protecting your Famion keeps the buff alive.
