Techniques
Techniques are your combat abilities. For general information on using Techniques, check this page.
To summarize:
- Combat works similar to a card game, where each Technique (ie. an action you can do in combat) represents a card.
- You learn copies of techniques through a variety of way in the game (using items, fighting opponents, finding encounters, etc).
- Those instances are now available to you to add to your 'deck'. The number of techniques in your deck can be changed on the Techniques pane.
- When you enter combat, you draw 5 techniques randomly from your deck to form your 'hand'.
- You can play as many techniques as you like in a round of combat, as long as they form a series of ascending or descending numbers (eg. 1-2-3 or 6-5-4-3).
- Any techniques in your hand that you didn't use that round carry over to the next round, and you draw more techniques from your deck to bring your hand back up to five.
- If you run out of techniques in your deck and hand, you lose the fight automatically.
- At the start of the next combat, you reshuffled your Techniques and can use them again.
- Minimum of 15 techniques in your deck.
- Maximum of 999 of a particular technique in your deck. The total number of techniques in your deck can exceed 999 if you use several different kinds of techniques.
- If you attack with Do Nothing or a blank hand, you discard your hand and draw five more.
