Battle

Battles are turn based. You pick a move, or let the team fight on its own.

How a battle runs

Each fighter fills its turn meter by its Speed. Whoever fills it first acts next.
Crit chance decides how often a hit is critical, Crit damage how hard it hits.
With Auto the team fights on its own, and the speed button makes the battle run faster.
In the campaign, stages won with 3 stars can be skipped with a Fast Forward Token.

Effects
