Battles and Skills

Build a formation around ordinary attacks, Fury skills and the different jobs your crew can do in a fight.

Being finished

More than a damage number

Battles are the meeting point of crew building and adventure. An ordinary attack and a Fury skill are different actions, and a skill may affect one opponent, a row, a column or a wider group according to its own rules. Recreating that variety means keeping the caster, targets, visible effect and battle result connected.

Fury is a battle resource rather than a simple turn countdown. The preserved rules describe attacks contributing to Fury and a skill consuming it when it fires. We are rebuilding the visible feedback alongside the underlying behaviour so players can read why a character acts and what happened to the target.

What has been rebuilt

Battle and skill behaviour is a measured area with substantial implemented work. The development renderer plays character actions and combines them with banners and effects; the trailer includes excerpts from that renderer. Some actions use recovered animation, while missing work may be recreated. Those are different kinds of source material and are kept distinct in the development records.

The work is also about readable movement: a strike should connect with its target, a hit should have feedback, and a defeated unit should leave the fight clearly. A striking preview is useful, but it cannot replace checks that the correct action is selected for the correct character and skill.

The remaining battle journey

We still separate completed checks from whole-game acceptance. A battle excerpt does not establish every crew form, every skill or every encounter, and the current measurements do not make that claim. Skill coverage, missing art, visual accuracy and live player journeys each have their own remaining work.

Read the crew and tavern guide for the choices before combat, or visit the arena for a different setting for those choices. The progress board shows the latest measured status without treating a trailer as a release announcement.
