**If a fight is lost:** The Mushroom dies. If the player wants to continue the day with a dead mushroom, there is the option to revive a character. This can be done for the cost of a level-dependent amount of SPORES. Arborethia revives every fallen defender when a new day begins. **If a fight is won:** The mushroom gets healed by 1/4 of its max HP and receives EXP based on the strength of the defeated creature. The EXP amount can be increased by traits or items. Additionally, there is a chance that the defeated creature drops loot. The loot can **either** be an item or a random amount of SPORES, or even Truffles when facing the Leprechaun.

With increasing levels, the character will face more powerful creatures and it will become more difficult to win against those creatures. Items will rise in importance as the game progresses.

**Damage formulars:** $$ Atk = (Atk\_{Base} + Atk\_{TraitBase} + Atk\_{ItemBase} + Atk\_{SpecItemBase} + Atk\_{BuffBase}) \* $$ $$ (1 + Atk\_{TraitBonus} + Atk\_{ItemBonus} + Atk\_{SpecItemBonus} + Atk\_{BuffBonus}) $$ $$ Def = (Def\_{Base} + Def\_{TraitBase} + Def\_{ItemBase} + Def\_{SpecItemBase} + Def\_{BuffBase}) \* $$ $$ (1 + Def\_{TraitBonus} + Def\_{ItemBonus} + Def\_{SpecItemBonus} + Def\_{BuffBonus}) $$ $$ HP\_{Reduction} = Atk \*(1 - DamageReduction) $$ $$ HP\_{EOA} = HP - HP\_{Reduction} $$ $$ HP\_{EOR} = HP\_{EOA} + HP\_{RoundEffects} $$
