Combat Mechanics — Turn Order, Damage & Debuffs

Battle structure

Combat is turn-based 5v5. Each pet acts when its attack bar fills — SPD determines fill rate. Faster teams get more turns and often win before slow comps recover.

---

Damage formula (simplified)

Raw Damage = ATK × Skill Multiplier
Effective = Raw × Element Multiplier − (DEF × 0.4)
Minimum = Raw × 0.1   (DEF cannot nullify everything)
Crit = Effective × (1.5 + CritDmg/100)

Base crit rate 15%, crit damage 50% (+ archetype bonuses). Specter and Mystic get extra crit from archetype.

---

Skill multiplier tiers

Skill-up adds +8% power per level (Lv.5 = ×1.32 multiplier on actives).

---

Accuracy vs Resistance

Harmful effects (stun, sleep, silence, slow, curse) roll to land:

effResist = clamp(target.RES − caster.ACC, 15%, 100%)
lands if random() ≥ effResist

• 15% resist floor — even 0 ACC vs 0 RES isn't 100% land rate
• Will rune — immune to debuffs turn 1
• Light passives — partial or full debuff immunity

Stack Accuracy on Hexers. Stack Resistance on tanks vs PvP control.

Turn order tactics

1. Speed leader — fastest pet opens; aim to delete or CC key threat
2. Strip then burst — Hexer removes buffs, DPS follows same round
3. Protect carry — Colossus taunt while Specter executes low HP targets
4. Will windows — attack enemy DPS during turn 1 before their immunity ends
