Effects

Effects are modifiers to the chars or opponents abilities or stats. The current game version features six different effects and more will be added gradually over time.

Effects can be applied by using Abilities or passively with an attack (When the attacker has the correct equipment or passive ability)

Effects work in instances. This means, whenever the effect actually takes effect (kek), it will reduce an instance. This is not to be confused with the number of rounds. When an effect is applied, it will be shown above the health bar of a character or opponent in the fight.

Effect "Defense reduction" is applied for 3 instances

In this example, a Defense reduction effect is applied for 3 instances. If this opponent is attacked, their defense is reduced, so the attack will deal more damage. After the effect was used one time, the instance count will be reduced. If the attack misses, no instance will be taken away. Every successful attack will reduce one instance from the effect, pointing out the clear difference between instances and rounds.

Some more key bullet points around Effects:

• In the current Game version, effects are only applied within the existing fight and not ported over to the next fight

• Multiple different Effects can be applied to one char / opponent

• Effects are on top of character attributes and do not replace them

• If the same Effect is applied again, it will refresh its original number of instances (rather than stack the instance numbers)

Following effects are existing in the current game's version:
