The '''Battle System''' in Roidle is a sophisticated combat framework that combines strategic character positioning, elemental interactions, and automated battle scripts. Understanding these mechanics is essential for progressing through hunts, dungeons, and PvP content.

== Overview ==

Combat in Roidle occurs automatically based on [[Battle Scripts]] you configure for each character. Your party of up to 3 characters engages enemies on a battlefield divided into 6 columns (3 for your party, 3 for enemies), with each character performing actions based on their script's conditions and priorities.

The battle system incorporates:

* '''Damage Calculation''' - Complex formulas using Attack, Defense, and elemental modifiers
* '''Elemental System''' - 7 elements with affinity levels that affect damage multipliers
* '''Battle Scripts''' - Conditional AI that controls character behavior
* '''Status Effects''' - Buffs, debuffs, and special conditions that impact combat

== Getting Started ==

When you first begin playing:

1. '''Create Your Party''' - Build up to 3 characters with different classes
2. '''Assign Stats''' - Distribute status points based on your class role (see [[Attributes]])
3. '''Equip Gear''' - Each new character receives a free dagger and body armor
4. '''Set Battle Scripts''' - Use default scripts or customize them with the [[Runic Battle Codex]]
5. '''Choose Positions''' - Place characters in appropriate columns (tanks front, ranged back)

Without the Runic Battle Codex, the game uses default scripts for each class. Once you build the Codex in your [[Estate]], you can create custom scripts to optimize your party's performance.

== Damage Calculation ==

=== Core Mechanics ===

Damage in Roidle is calculated using a sophisticated formula that balances offense and defense without simple subtraction:

'''Key Stats:'''
* '''P.Atk''' - Physical Attack power (for swords, bows, basic attacks)
* '''M.Atk''' - Magical Attack power (for spells and magical skills)
* '''P.Def''' - Physical Defense (reduces physical damage)
* '''M.Def''' - Magical Defense (reduces magical damage)

=== Defense Formula ===

Unlike games that simply subtract Defense from Attack, Roidle uses percentage-based damage reduction:

'''Low Defense (0-125):'''
* 50 Defense = 50% damage reduction
* 100 Defense = 67% damage reduction
* 125 Defense = 75% damage reduction
* Early Defense points have stronger impact

'''High Defense (125+):'''
* 150 Defense = 80% damage reduction
* 200 Defense = 85% damage reduction
* Reduction approaches 95% maximum (never reaches 100%)

This system allows infinite Defense stacking without making characters invulnerable.

=== Damage Calculation Steps ===

1. '''Flat Reduction''' - Every 2 Def reduces 1 damage (up to 15 at 30 Def) before percentage reduction
2. '''Percentage Reduction''' - Apply Defense formula to reduce damage
3. '''True Damage''' - Portion of damage that bypasses Defense (if attacker has True Damage stat)
4. '''Elemental Multiplier''' - Apply elemental affinity (0% to 200% damage, see [[Elements]])

'''See [[Battle Basics]] for detailed damage formulas and examples.'''

== Elements ==

Roidle features a 7-element system with rock-paper-scissors relationships and affinity levels:

=== The Seven Elements ===

* '''Neutral''' - Default element for basic attacks and most skills
* '''Fire''' - Strong vs Earth, weak vs Water
* '''Water''' - Strong vs Fire, weak vs Air
* '''Air''' - Strong vs Water, weak vs Earth
* '''Earth''' - Strong vs Air, weak vs Fire
* '''Holy''' - Strong vs Shadow, weak vs Shadow
* '''Shadow''' - Strong vs Holy and Neutral, weak vs Holy

=== Affinity Levels ===

Monsters have elemental affinities that determine damage multipliers:

'''Level 1 Affinity (Low):'''
* Weakness: 150% damage
* Resistance: 50% damage
* Neutral interactions: 75-100% damage

'''Level 2 Affinity (High):'''
* Extreme Weakness: 200% damage
* Extreme Resistance: 0% damage (immune)
* Moderate effects: 50-125% damage

'''Example:'''
* Fire 1 monster takes 150% damage from Water attacks
* Fire 2 monster takes 200% damage from Water attacks (and 0% from Fire)

'''See [[Elements]] for complete elemental tables and strategic applications.'''

== Battle Scripts ==

Battle Scripts are the AI that controls your characters during combat. They use a Condition-Action-Target system where each step evaluates conditions and executes actions if conditions are met.

=== How Scripts Work ===

Each script consists of multiple steps executed in order:

1. '''Check Conditions''' - Evaluate if requirements are met (HP thresholds, enemy count, range, etc.)
2. '''Perform Action''' - Execute skill, attack, move, or use item if conditions pass
3. '''Select Target''' - Choose who receives the action (nearest enemy, lowest HP ally, etc.)
4. '''Move to Next Step''' - If conditions fail, move to next step in sequence

If no step's conditions are met, the character performs an idle action and recovers MP.

=== Script Components ===

'''Starting Position:'''
* Choose which of 3 columns your character starts in
* Movement costs 1 round, so position strategically

'''Conditions (up to 5 per step):'''
* '''Filters''' - Narrow down targets (nearest enemy, lowest HP, elemental weakness)
* '''Boolean Checks''' - True/false evaluations (MP above X%, enemy count, ally status)
* Stack additively (AND operator) from top to bottom

'''Actions:'''
* Basic Actions: Attack, Idle, Move (forward/backward/to ally/to foe), Escape
* Skill Actions: Any skill available to the character's class
* Item Actions: Use consumables (select up to 3, prioritized left to right)

'''Targets:'''
* Self, Ally, Foe, All Allies, All Foes

'''Cooldowns:'''
* Set per-step cooldowns to prevent spam
* Resets to 0 on new encounter

=== Example Scripts ===

'''AOE Only When Efficient:'''
1. Condition: Foe at range 3 or less
2. Condition: 3 or more enemies
3. Action: Use AOE skill
4. Target: Foe

'''Healing Priority:'''
1. Condition: Ally is knocked out → Action: Resurrect
2. Condition: Ally HP below 30% → Action: Strong heal
3. Condition: Ally HP below 60% → Action: Medium heal

'''Elemental Targeting:'''
1. Condition: Foe is fire-weak
2. Condition: Self MP above 50%
3. Action: Fire Bolt
4. Target: Foe (nearest)

'''See [[Battle Scripts]] for advanced scripting techniques and default class scripts.'''

== Status Effects ==

Status effects are temporary conditions that modify combat performance, shown as icons beneath character sprites.

=== Categories ===

'''Buffs (Positive):'''
* Increase stats (P.Atk, M.Def, Hit Rate, etc.)
* Provide tactical advantages
* Usually applied by support skills

'''Debuffs (Negative):'''
* '''Control:''' Frozen, Stunned, Pinned (immobilize)
* '''Stat Reduction:''' Blinded (-75 Hit Rate)
* '''Combo Setup:''' Soaked, Shocked (enable powerful effects)

'''Damage over Time (DoT):'''
* '''Poisoned''' - 3% max HP per stack per turn (10 stacks max)
* '''Bleeding''' - 20% of attacker's P.Atk/M.Atk, reduces healing by 75%
* '''Burning''' - 20% of attacker's M.Atk, stacks up to 9, leaves Scorched aftereffect
* '''Scorched''' - Permanent DoT until cleansed, 33% of Burning damage (max 25% HP)

'''Healing over Time (HoT):'''
* '''Rejuvenating''' - Druid HoT, 10% healing per turn, boosts Lifebloom effectiveness

'''Special Effects:'''
* '''Exhausted''' - Prevents Paladin from using Divine Protection/Guardian Angel for 5 rounds

=== Status Interactions ===

Some status effects interact with each other:

* '''Soaked + Lightning''' → Stunned for 1 round
* '''Soaked + Ice''' → Easier to Freeze
* '''Burning + Soaked''' → Extinguishes Burning (but not Scorched)
* '''Frozen + Shatter Ice''' → Double damage

=== Removal Methods ===

* '''Cleanse''' (Priest passive) - Removes Frozen
* '''Dispel''' (skill) - Removes many debuffs and some buffs
* '''Spellsteal''' (skill) - Steals buffs from enemies
* '''Items''' - Antidote (Poisoned), Bandage (Bleeding), Healing Salve (Scorched)

'''See [[Status Effects]] for complete lists and removal methods.'''

== Combat Tips ==

=== General Strategy ===

* '''Position Matters''' - Place tanks (Warriors, Knights) in front columns, ranged DPS and healers in back
* '''Use Elements''' - Check enemy weaknesses and exploit them for 150-200% damage
* '''Script Priority''' - Order script steps from highest to lowest priority (resurrect before heal)
* '''Manage Resources''' - Set MP thresholds to avoid running out of mana mid-fight
* '''Remove DoTs''' - Bleeding, Poisoned, and Scorched can quickly kill characters if not cleansed

=== Party Composition ===

A balanced party typically includes:

* '''Tank''' - High VIT, P.Def, positioned front to absorb damage
* '''Healer''' - Priest or Druid to sustain the party
* '''Damage Dealer''' - Physical (Archer, Rogue) or Magical (Mage, Wizard) DPS

Adjust composition based on content:
* '''Dungeons''' - Bring strong healing and defensive buffs
* '''Farming''' - Maximize AOE damage for efficient clear speed
* '''Boss Fights''' - Single-target burst damage and survivability

=== Resource Management ===

* '''Food''' - If wiped in Capital region, eat meat scraps to recover HP before resting
* '''Inn Rest''' - Costs Zeny but fully restores HP/MP
* '''Consumables''' - Potions, bandages, and antidotes for emergency situations
* '''Battle Scripts''' - Use idle actions strategically to recover MP

== Advanced Mechanics ==

=== True Damage ===

Some skills and effects deal True Damage that bypasses Defense:
* Poisoned status (3% max HP per stack)
* Scorched status (33% of Burning damage)
* Certain class abilities

True Damage is calculated before Defense reduction and added back after percentage mitigation.

=== Critical Hits ===

Critical hits depend on:
* '''C.Atk''' - Critical Attack stat (increases crit chance)
* '''C.Def''' - Critical Defense stat (reduces enemy crit chance)
* '''C.Chance''' - Base critical hit chance
* '''C.Negate''' - Chance to negate incoming critical hits

Critical multiplier typically deals 150-200% damage.

=== Speed and Action Economy ===

* '''Speed''' stat determines attack frequency
* Higher Speed = more basic attacks per round
* Skills typically use full action regardless of Speed
* Movement costs 1 round (position characters before combat)
