Battle loop

Welcome to the Battle Loop

Battle Loop is an idle card-based roguelite where you descend into dangerous dungeons and battle hordes of enemies.
Collect powerful cards, build unique combinations, and adapt your strategy as your adventure unfolds. 

🕹️ How to Play 🕹️

Goal — Descend through the dungeon, grow stronger, and defeat the final Boss. 

Each run consists of 9 stages before the Boss encounter. Along the way, you will face increasingly dangerous enemies and make choices that shape your build. At every stage, choose one of three paths:

⚔️ Battle — Fight regular enemies and earn rewards.
💀 Elite Battle — Face stronger enemies for greater rewards.
🛒 Shop — Spend Gold on cards, upgrades, or recovery.
❓ Event — Make choices that may help or hinder your adventure.
As you descend deeper into the dungeon, encounters become more challenging. Later battles may contain multiple enemy waves, requiring stronger builds and better preparation.

⚔️ Battle ⚔️

Combat is fully automated. Your hero plays equipped cards automatically in the order you have arranged them. Most attacks and skills can result in one of three outcomes:

• Weak Hit;
  
• Normal Hit;
• Critical Hit;

Different outcomes affect the strength of the card and may trigger additional effects. 

🃏 Card Types🃏 

Each card belongs to a card type. Playing too many cards of the same type during a turn can reduce their effectiveness. The more repetitive your sequence becomes, the greater the chance that later cards will perform weaker than expected. 

Hit Quality Chances by Card Order Table

Card Position	Weak	Normal	Critical
First Card	15%	70%	15%
Second Card	55%	39%	6%
Third and Subsequent Cards	90%	9%	1%

🔗 Combos🔗

Many cards have Tags that interact with other cards, statuses, or previous actions. Some cards become stronger when: 

• A specific tagged card was played earlier in the turn;
• The target has a particular status effect;
• The hero has a particular status effect;

Successful combinations can trigger powerful bonus effects. Experiment with different card combinations to discover devastating synergies. 

💰 Rewards💰

Winning battles grants rewards. Rewards may include: 

• Gold;
• New Cards;

More dangerous encounters generally provide greater rewards.
