# Round Based Battles

#### Round based battles

The Round based battles are the first variation of the combat mechanic in the game. It is fully automatic. This means, that whenever a Cutie is going on an adventure, the battle will be automatically rolled and the player will only get a report back of what has happened during the battle.

In this type of battle, the winner is decided by winning 2 rounds in total. Rounds that end up in a draw do not count towards the overall score. 

There are 2 phases in combat. Attack and Defense. 

During the attack phase of the Cutie, its attack value is derived from the following: 

`Power + Attack + Element (if applicable) + 20 sided dice roll (further d20)`

Whenever one Cutie attacks their opponent is in the defense stage, which is calculated as so:

`Power + Defense + Element (if applicable) + d20`

Whoever has the higher value wins the turn. 

One round consists of 2 turns, meaning, both Cuties have an Attack and a Defense phase. Whoever wins more turns wins the round. It can be 2:0, 1:0 (whenever there is a draw for one round).\
\
If both Cuties win 1 turn each, the round is considered a draw, and no points are allocated towards the total battle score.  

Here is an example of an RB battle:

![Round 1 of the Fight](https://1112974716-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQv8idDGOXgQHLQxvzpSB%2Fuploads%2FF064Q0qMg8UJ2oyr2jya%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=44390f7d-6a4c-47a2-ad68-5dd51eaa3eed)

In the first round, our Cutie Won. \
It rolled a 16 on a d20 and the power rating of the Cutie (12) has been added to the attack. \
The defending opponent rolled a 5 and its element, which is a negative value, took away from its defense.

The turn goes to our Cutie as 28>3. 

Next turn, the opponent is attacking. They rolled a 13 and the negative element also hindered their attack, lowering their score to 11. 

However, our Cutie lucked out and evaded the attack altogether, which automatically makes the round a win for us. 

The whole round goes to us here with a score of 2:0. The total score now is 1:0 in our favor. 

Let's take a look at the second round:

In the first turn of the round, we attack again. 

Our Cutie ends up with a score of 27, while the defending Cutie fumbled the defense completely, losing the turn. 

The round score is 1:0 

The opponent attacks now. Rolling a score of 14, but our Cutie ended up with 27.

14<27 so our Cutie wins this turn as well.&#x20;

The round score becomes 2:0 in our favor, we gain another Round point. This, in turn, makes the overall score also 2:0. As the win condition is 2 points, we win the battle and gain [experience](https://docs.blockchaincuties.com/blockchain-cuties-universe-knowledge-base/bcu-mechanics/game-mechanics/experience) and the game rolls our [drop](https://docs.blockchaincuties.com/blockchain-cuties-universe-knowledge-base/bcu-mechanics/game-mechanics/adventures/level-difference-drop-rate-modifier).&#x20;
