Battles

This page is under construction!

This page serves as an advanced guide on Battles, for players who are aiming to get SSS grades on their Tests or Unified Exam battles. Special thanks to twstgameplay on Tumblr and Shiro#8955 for their advice and information!

Please ensure that you have already grasped the basics of Battles before proceeding further. You can refer to the Guidebook's Battle tab for a basic guide on Battles, if you haven't read this already. It is assumed that you have fully read the "Battle" section of Guidebook.

ATK, HP & Damage
All cards have an ATK (Attack) stat and a HP (health points) stat. High ATK is associated with doing lots of damage and being good at tests and the HP stat (and presence of Healing magic) is used to see if the card is suitable in a defensive team. You might have also noticed that for magic buffs and debuffs, there is a distinction between ATK and Damage being made. What is the difference between ATK and DMG? How do I know if my card's Healing magic will heal lots of HP? This section will briefly explain the significance of ATK, HP, & Damage for cards.

ATK vs Damage Buffs/Debuffs
Damage refers to the damage received by an opponent. It is not a stat on cards, but buffs and debuffs cast by characters can manipulate the final amount of Damage dealt or received.
 * Damage UP/DOWN: Affects damage dealt by a character
 * Damage taken UP/DOWN: Affects damage received by a character

Overall ATK buffs and debuffs are better than DMG buffs/debuffs. This is because the multiplier for Damage is smaller than all of the multipliers for ATK. For more details on the calculations behind the effects of damage and ATK buffs, please refer to this post and this post from twstgameplay.

Healing Multiplier
There are two types of heals in this game: single-turn heals and multi-turn heals. As of this writing, SSR Floyd Beans Camo is the only card with a multi-turn heal.

The ATK stat serves as the multiplier for single-turn heals, while HP is the stat that can be referenced for multi-turn heals. Please view this spreadsheet for the list of cards with healing magic, and their respective healing amounts. View [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Cm-G97dtdZHJfupU2lik1f4cDyEPj0tdd1lsPyLVoE/edit?usp=sharing the Magic Lv. tab on this spreadsheet] to learn more about the calculations behind the healing amounts.

Team Building
This section only contains general team building advice as it is difficult to give concrete advice on the best teams for every type of Battle. This is because, in addition to the battle styles (Basic or Defense), the type of debuffs & buffs used by the enemy and the amount of HP they have changes every season in Tests or Unified Exams. This means that even if two seasons have the same element test, you might not get the same scores from using the same team.

In general, it is highly recommended that you roll for as many cards as you can in order to maximise your team building options for both Basic and Defense battles, and for every type of test (i.e. Fire, Water, Tree, Null, All Element). Even if you cannot afford to roll in the gacha every time, you can still learn to maximise your cards' potentials by investing in maxed out Magic levels for some of your SRs or Rs.

Consider your current position in the game:
 * 1) Are you a new player or F2P (no in-game purchases at all)?
 * 2) *You might not have all the necessary SSRs, but you can also achieve good Test results by:
 * 3) *#Maxing out Buddy Levels for important SRs and Rs
 * 4) *#Maxing out their respective Magic Levels


 * 1) Are you a long-time player or willing to spend some money on gacha everytime, or once in a while?
 * 2) *It is encouraged that you roll for specific SSRs who are good for Battles, whether for Basic or Defense Tests.
 * 3) *It is also assumed that you have a wide pool of cards after rolling in several gachas over time.

If you need specific team building advice for your own card list, you can direct your questions to twstgameplay.

Good SRs and Rs
With fewer card options, you might need to rely on SRs and Rs to boost the few SSRs you have for the Battle. That's alright, as long as you remember to consider:
 * 1) Who the card's Buddies are
 * 2) Whether the card's elements pair well with your SSRs
 * 3) Whether the card can activate your SSR's DUO magic
 * 4) The type of magic they use (i.e. Healing, Attack)

Here is a short list of cards that are good for Tests if you invest in their Magic levels and/or Buddies. For more detailed information, see twstgameplay's tierlist.

Notes and Disclaimer
Hello this is xnotyuki. Although I am the one who put up most of the information available here, I am not an expert on Battles at all. Most information that is shown here were gathered by twstgameplay on Tumblr or Shiro#8955 through trial and error and lots of experimenting. Therefore, this guide does NOT cover all the possible teambuilding and battle strategies possible. Treat this as a safe, foolproof guide for scoring SS and above in Battles.

However, if you have other battle-related questions, need teambuilding advice or other card advice, please reach out to twstgameplay on Tumblr, whose mods have helpfully guided me through the creation of this guide, or the # test-talk channel on our Discord.
