Battle System

Cronos Army features strategic turn-based combat where every decision matters.

How Battles Work

When you enter a battle, your soldiers face the enemy team. Combat alternates until one side is eliminated.

The Combat Loop

Your Turn → Select Soldier → Choose Action → Pick Target → Attack Executes → Enemy Turn → Repeat

Your Turn

Each turn, you make three decisions:

1. Select Your Soldier

Choose which soldier acts this turn. Consider:
  • Health — Protect wounded soldiers
  • Personality — Match specials to the situation
  • Energy — All soldiers in battle fight at full power

2. Choose Your Action

Attack

Full damage, no protection. Best for finishing enemies.

Defensive

Reduced damage dealt and received. Good when low on health.

Special

Unique ability based on personality. Can turn the tide.

3. Pick Your Target

Select which enemy to attack. Focus fire — eliminating one enemy quickly is usually better than spreading damage.

Personality Specials

Every soldier personality has a unique special ability:
PersonalitySpecial MoveEffect
AggressivePiercing StrikeIgnores 50% of enemy defense
IntelligentAnalyze Weakness+40% damage to target
RecklessAll-In2x damage, take +50% damage next turn
DefensiveShield Wall-60% damage taken this turn
FunnyDistractEnemy has 30% miss chance
MysteriousShadow Step40% dodge chance next attack
InspiringRallyHeal all allies 15%
StubbornLast StandCan’t die this turn (min 1 HP)
Learn when to use each special. A well-timed Shield Wall or Rally can save a losing battle.

Enemy AI Behavior

When defending, enemy soldiers respond based on their personalities:
  • Aggressive defenders hunt your weakest soldier
  • Stubborn defenders attack whoever hit them last
  • Intelligent defenders focus your biggest threat
  • Defensive defenders protect their wounded allies
Understanding these patterns helps you predict enemy moves.

Winning Strategies

Concentrate attacks on one enemy. A dead enemy deals zero damage. Spreading damage lets everyone keep attacking you.
Switch hurt soldiers to Defensive stance. Use Inspiring soldiers to Rally heal. Don’t let enemies pick off your weak links.
Don’t spam specials randomly. Save Piercing Strike for high-defense enemies. Use Shield Wall when you’re about to take a big hit.
Watch enemy personalities. If they’re all Aggressive, they’ll swarm your weakest soldier — protect them or sacrifice them strategically.
