Game Mechanics​

  • Rounds: Matches consist of up to five rounds. Each round, players select a Chip, then watch an animated outcome.
  • Status Bars: Players manage three key stats:
    • Energy: Represents health points. Starts full at the beginning of each match.
    • Moxie: Represents style points. Starts empty and fills throughout the match.
    • Power Points: Determines how many Chips a player can use. Players start with a full meter, and gaining Battle Levels increases their maximum Power Points.

Winning Conditions​

  • Energy KO: Completely drain the opponent’s Energy bar within five rounds.
  • Moxie KO: Completely fill your Moxie bar within five rounds.
  • Match Win: If no KO occurs, the player with the highest combined Energy and Moxie score wins.
  • Default Win: A disconnected opponent results in an automatic win.

Gameplay Features​

  • Upper Hand: Determines which player's animation appears first, giving a strategic advantage. The player who accepts a Battle challenge starts with the Upper Hand by default, but certain Chips can change this.
  • Dead Chips: Once a Chip is used, it becomes "dead" and cannot be played again in the same match unless revived by special effects.

Progression System​

  • Battle Experience (BXP): Earned after each match, regardless of the outcome. BXP determines Battle Levels.
  • Battle Level: Higher Battle Levels allow for more Power Points in a match. The maximum Battle Level is 50.
  • Battle Rank: Based on the ELO chess system, Battle Rank is an invisible score that determines leaderboard placement. Winning against stronger opponents boosts this score significantly.
