Battle [Manual]

*As of 9/30 combat has been tinkered with and revamped a bit. It is now more accurate in the damage figures shown, as well as the battle shifting.*

As you explore you will encounter monsters, these will be triggered when you press the Purple Orb (change from previously, where either orb could trigger a battle). From this point on you will be dealing with your foe!

Click on an enemy to deal damage to it, the goal is simple -- kill or be killed! In order to help you out with this you can shift stances, or shift gun modes. 

There are three gun modes ; Handgun which offers faster firing at a lower power, Rifle which packs more power with a medium firing rate, and finally Cannon with the highest power but a very slow firing rate.

Conversely, shifting your stance also affects gameplay. When using Attack Stance, the amount of damage you out put increases, but because you abandon defense you also take more damage.

The Defense Stance allows you to recover small amounts of health over time and recover your stamina as well (which is needed for magical attacks and decreases simply from firing mana bullets). Low stamina will decrease your attack power, thus keeping it above a certain point is preferable. Also while in Defense Stance your attack power is halved.

The final stance is the Evasion Stance. In this stance you trade away stamina to avoid damage. In the event that you lack stamina to cover the damage you would sustain, you will take 25% more damage that you would have otherwise.

By making use of both Gun modes and Stances, you can effectively defeat your enemy. Failure to win will cause your adventure to end early, you'll awake at the tower the next day after getting some rest. Defeat comes with it's own disadvantages, as you lose 20% of your current magicite -- so be careful.
