Battle System

Summit uses the same proven combat mechanics from Loot Survivor, creating a familiar yet competitive environment where your beasts battle each other instead of adventurers.

Combat Fundamentals

Turn-Based Combat

Just like in Loot Survivor, combat follows a turn-based system:

1. Attacker Goes First - The challenging beast attacks
2. Defender Counter-Attacks - If they survive, they strike back
3. Repeat - Continue until one beast falls

The key difference in Summit is that both combatants are beasts, making type advantages and upgrades even more crucial.

Damage Calculation

Damage in Summit follows the Loot Survivor formula with some additions:

Power = Beast Level × (6 - Beast Tier)

• Type Advantage: +50% damage when strong, -50% when weak
• Attack Potions: Each potion adds 10% bonus damage (strength)
• Critical Hits: Chance based on Luck stat (0% base, up to 95%)
• Special Abilities: Prefix/suffix bonuses when unlocked

Type Advantage System

Summit uses the same rock-paper-scissors system from Loot Survivor:

Remember: Brute beats Hunter, Hunter beats Magical, Magical beats Brute

Summit-Specific Combat Features

Multi-Beast Attacks

Summit allows you to attack with multiple beasts in sequence:

1. Sequential Combat - Beasts fight one at a time
2. All Attacks in One Transaction - Your sequence of beasts attacks in a single transaction, giving you a better chance to take the Summit
3. First Beast Advantage - Only the first beast will benefit from attack potions
4. Strategic Order - Choose your beast order wisely

Extra Lives System

Defenders can have multiple lives:

• When health reaches 0, an extra life is consumed
• Beast returns to full health (base + bonus)
• Combat continues without interruption
• Beasts can have up to 255 extra lives

Critical Hit Mechanics

Critical hits in Summit are determined by the Luck stat:

Critical Hit Damage: +100% base damage

Strategic Considerations

Attacking Strategy

When planning your assault:

1. Scout the Defender - Check their type, health, and extra lives
2. Order Your Beasts - Put your strongest with type advantage first
3. Load Attack Potions - Only on your first beast
4. Time Your Strike - Attack when defender is weakened

Defending Strategy

To hold the Summit longer:

1. Maximize Health - Feed $CORPSE tokens for bonus health (up to 1,023)
2. Stock Extra Lives - Apply them immediately after taking Summit
3. Choose Defensive Upgrades - Wisdom to gain bonus levels, Luck to get critical chance, Specials to unlocks name match bonus

Type Matchup Planning

Since you know the defending beast's type:

• Favorable Matchup: +50% damage makes victory likely
• Neutral Matchup: Comes down to stats and potions
• Unfavorable Matchup: -50% damage makes victory difficult

Battle Rewards

Experience Points

XP in Summit works differently than Loot Survivor:

• Base: 10 XP per attack
• Attack Streak Bonus: +1 XP per consecutive attack (max +10)
• Beasts can gain up to 40 bonus levels

• XP = Defeated attacker's power / 100
• Wisdom upgrade required
• Rewards successful defense

Tips for Success

Know Your Enemy

• Each beast type has predictable strengths and weaknesses
• Plan your attacks around type advantages
• Consider the defender's upgrades and health

Resource Efficiency

• Don't waste potions on unlikely victories
• Save revival potions for coordinated attacks
• Balance upgrades amongst your strongest beasts

Timing is Everything

• Attack during low activity periods
• Coordinate with allies for sequential strikes
• Take advantage of weakened defenders

The battle system rewards both tactical planning and strategic resource management. Master these mechanics to dominate the Summit!
