Gameplay

You have 30 seconds per turn. Both you and your opponent select your moves simultaneously. The moves are setup in a rock-paper-scissors fashion. Offensive moves counter neutral moves, neutral moves counter defensive moves, and defensive moves counter offensive moves. If you do not pick a move within the 30 seconds you will automatically Wait! Your health and energy are determined by your chosen weapon. Moves have an associated energy cost and you can only use moves that you have the energy for. If your health reaches 0 you lose, even if you kill your opponent on the same turn. Some moves can stun you. This is indicated by the orange icon below your health bar. When you are stunned you will not be able to select a move that turn. Each weapon has a unique combo that can be read in the weapon's tooltip. Using the three moves of the combo in order will deal an additional 2 damage to your opponent. The gold orbs below your health bar keep track of your combo progress.
