Battle Hints

Will

Will is used to perform techniques.
The more Will a monster has, the higher is the probability of them landing successful hits. This means that instead of simply throwing out techniques whenever you can, it might be better to accumulate Will and wait for a chance to make a strong hit.

Technique types

Techniques have a variety of characteristics: long-distance attacks, high-probability attacks, attacks that lower your opponent's Will, etc.
Learning those characteristics and using them wisely in battle is the key to victory.

Confusion

Monsters with low loyalty will occasionally become confused. While confused, monsters are easier to hit.
This can be prevented by raising the monster's loyalty. Also, if the opponent is confused, you have a chance to get in some effective attacks.

Increasing Loyalty

Push

Each technique has a range, and different techniques will be available based on the distance between the monsters.
Use Push when you want to quickly increase the distance between the monsters. This will force the opponent back and allow you to gain the distance you need for the technique you want to use.

KO

When your monster's life gauge drops to 0, the monster will be KO'ed and lose the match. When a monster is KO'ed, they may become injured, or, if they are fatigued or receive a lot of damage, even die.
KO is more likely when there is a large difference in strength between the two monsters. If you feel that your monster is in danger, do not hesitate to forfeit.

Fury

Monsters with very low health will make a final effort, and the damage they deal will greatly increase.
Stay focused until the end of the match, even if your opponent only has a small amount of life remaining.
