Patrol Basics
When you have at least one character, and at least one patrol area, you can begin patrolling. This is done by filling out the form in the patrol area's topic. You will encounter enemies based on the area, and can find items (including trinkets which can be used to recruit new characters). Each area has types that will show up, as well as a maximum tier of enemies. Starter areas have a maximum tier of 1.
Combat Basics
Once your patrol is rolled, you will encounter at least one enemy. These enemies can be fought in combat, by using your attacks. Each attack has up to ten stars, determined by base power divided by 25. Status moves have zero stars, but can still be useful.
Battles go as follows:
- Choose a character to do the battle.
- Choose a move from the character's move list.
- The opponent will randomly choose a move from their movepool, and the two will be compared.
- If one type resists the other type, the resisted move will "lose" and fizzle. The other move will be used.
- If it's a draw (either because neither type or both types resist), the move with lower stars loses. The other move will be used.
- Damage will happen based on the results of move comparison.
- Repeat Steps 2-4 until the battle is complete.
