Fighting Styles

Five fighting styles exist. Each clan is built around one of them. Each style has a unique damage profile and a signature mechanic.

#4.1 Boxer (Red Clan)

Special Mechanic: Opponents can only block 1 of Head/Body against the Boxer. The defender still gets a second block for lower zones.

• Strength: Consistent high damage. Every round is a real threat.
• Weakness: Cannot cripple limbs. Vulnerable to Grapplers and Tanks.

#4.2 Grappler (Green Clan)

Special Mechanic: Arm Cripple. When the opponent's Arms HP drops below 75, -10% outgoing damage. Below 50, -25%. Below 25, -40%. Permanent for the match.

• Strength: Wins long fights. Opponent gets weaker every round.
• Weakness: Low head damage. Struggles to finish fights quickly.

#4.3 Kicker (Yellow Clan)

Special Mechanic: Leg Cripple. When the opponent's Legs HP drops below 50, they permanently lose one defense slot (block 1 instead of 2). Against a Boxer, this means 0 blocks on Head/Body.

• Strength: Most devastating cripple in the game.
• Weakness: Low Body/Arms damage. Predictable targeting.

#4.4 Tank (Blue Clan)

Special Mechanic: Counter-Damage. When the Tank blocks an attack, the attacker takes ~45% of their own damage back to their ATTACKING zone.

• Strength: Punishes aggressive, predictable opponents.
• Weakness: Low offensive pressure. Patient opponents avoid triggering counters.

#4.5 Counter Puncher (Purple Clan)

Special Mechanic: Risk/Reward system.

• Blocks AND lands: 1.5x damage dealt
• Gets hit AND misses: 1.5x damage received
• Blocks but misses: BOTH sides deal zero damage
• Both hit: Normal trade
• Strength: In skilled hands, the most dangerous style.
• Weakness: Bad readers get destroyed. Takes extra damage on wrong guesses.
