Mechanics
Combat is turn-based. Faster combatants act first each round, enemies show their next move before they make it, and every number below comes from the game's own settings.
How damage is worked out
- Start from the ability's value, for example 140% of MAG. Empower makes ATK and MAG count as 30% higher.
- Roll a random spread of ±10%.
- A critical hit multiplies the result by 1.5.
- Defense removes 50% of the target's DEF from physical hits, and half that from elemental hits. It never removes more than 85% of a hit.
- Weak cuts direct hits by 25%. Vulnerable adds 25%and Fortify removes 30%, including damage over time.
- Every hit deals at least 1. Shields absorb damage before HP does.
Damage over time (Burn, Bleed, Poison) skips the spread, crits and defense. Guarding gives a shield worth 10% of your max HP.

| Vulnerable | Debuff | Takes 25% more damage. |
| Weak | Debuff | Deals 25% less damage with direct hits. |
| Taunt | Buff | Enemies must target this combatant with single-target attacks. |
| Fortify | Buff | Takes 30% less damage. |
| Empower | Buff | ATK and MAG count as 30% higher. |
| Haste | Buff | Speed is 30% higher. |
