BATTLE FLOW
Battles are taking place on a long ‘corridor’ which represents the planet they are in. After an enemy group is defeated, the player will move forward on a predetermined path.
ATTACKING
- Battle in this game are semi turn based
- Using the Active Time Battle system results in the character keeping on attacking, even when the player decides not to push any button.
- The turn order is determined by speed.
- Players can decided to focus all of their character attack on one enemy by pressing on them, otherwise the AI will control the player’s team targeting.
- If the special attack move is pushed, it will be activated the next time that character is in turn.
- After using the special attack move, a cool down occurs.
- Each skill has their own cool down stats.
ACTIVE TIME BATTLE
The character icon will be on a time bar that runs as wide as the screen.
It will start on the left and will move to the right of the screen as the battle goes on.
If a character reaches the end point on the right, that character will do his/her/its action.
The action ranges from basic attack to special attack.
The speed is determined by the character’s speed stats.
The formula to convert the speed stats to milliseconds is as follows:
SPECIAL SKILL
Special skills are performed by pushing a button on the bottom of the screen.
Once tapped, the button will glow (the border changes) and the skill will be performed when the player reaches the end of the time bar.
Every character has two active skills that can be activated this way.
When the skill is activated, the player has to perform some actions in Quick Time Event in order to determine the effectiveness of that particular skill.
QTE Result:
Tap Number in ascending order
Numbers appear in random positions and players have limited time to push them in order.

BATTLE POSITION
Each battle requires a team. The player’s team consists of up to 3 members whereas the opponents team consists of up to 5 players.
The formation of teams is determined before the battle and cannot be changed during the battle. One main character, usually Boboiboy or one of his friends, will be the elected leader.
Except for player #1 (meaning the leader), the other players have no distinct (dis)advantage over each other.
If a HERO character is slotted in the #1 position as a leader, his/her leader ability is checked and if valid, activated during the course of a battle, and rechecked at the beginning of a battle
