Mechanic
The core mechanic of battle is about Hit stun. The damage when characters(both your crew and enemies)are attacked would be accumulated and as it reaches a certain value, it makes characters into Hit stun--a state that endure attack without fight back. If the character get combo in a short time, this state will even last until the character dies. The Hit stun is affected by many other values such as Resilience. So how to use this mechanic and make your characters beat the enemies successfully in time is considerable.
