Elements Demon TournamentThe Dragon Scepter is a powerful artifact that will grant great power to whomever attains it. Many elementals seek the Scepter - some for good, others for evil. You must use courage and strategy to outwit your enemies on the battlefield, or the Scepter will be forever lost to you!* How to sign up *Sign up by posting your picked character and timezone [in GMT] in this topic. If you don't know your timezone in GMT, you can check
here (find the big yellow box after choosing your country).
* How to play *First choose one of the 8 available characters. Each character starts the battle with 100 HP, 100 EN (energy), a collection of
Basic Actions and a unique collection of
Attack Actions. Your
Basic- and Attack Actions together make up your action pool.
* Know your actions *Each action displays several important pieces of information. Name of action, damage caused, energy cost and range of action.
* Range *The
highlighted/red squares on the range chart display which squares on the grid will be affected by an action. The center square always indicates where the character is.
* Create combos to battle *A combo is set of any three actions chosen from your action pool. Create your combos in order to lower your opponent's HP to 0. Be careful, because you won't know what your opponent's combo will be! Once you've created a combo, your actions will be matched up against your opponent's in battle and then you'll both see the results. You will keep creating combos until one of you lose all HP.
- Attack actions cost energy, so if you attack more than once in a combo, be sure you that you have the energy for all your intended actions.
- You cannot use the same action more than once in a combo.
- After each combo, you both regain +15 EN.
- Basic Actions take turn before Attack Actions.
- If you use an invalid action (move out of bounds, use an attack that you don't have the energy for, etc.) or you don't send in a full combo in time, you lose 5 HP per invalid actions (15 HP if no actions were sent in).
* Earn new actions *When you defeat an opponent you capture a Scepter part and earn a new mystery action. (Losing a game doesn't make you lose your gathered parts.)
* Gameplay *After all players chose their first characters, they will be matched up by the organizer based on their timezones. The players will then have their own battlefield map in the Forum Games - Matches board. Send in your combos to the organizer anytime you can, but preferably ASAP. The combomaking will continue until one player loses all HP. The winner will gather one part of the Dragon Scepter and a mystery action. Be careful, because tied players both lose!
Before the next battle, both the winner and the loser have the chance to change character. Be careful again, only those characters can use the mystery actions who actually won them, so e.g if you won one with Electric Gryphon, you can only use that one with Electric Gryphon and won't be able to use with other characters.

Spoiler for Questions and Answers:
Question: Can the moves be rotated?
Answer: Moves cannot be rotated, they always follow the range on the chart.
Question: How much time do you have to send in a combo?
Answer: 24 hours.
Question: What happens if one match takes too long? Both players can basically just guard and scuttle away from each other.
Answer: If players can't deal damage to each other for 4 combos, i will start banning specific movement cards or removing tiles from the map. For example, the player on the left won't be able to go left.
Question: Ok, and what happens if one match takes 2 weeks? There has to be some limit.
Answer: If any match takes recognizably long (pre-mentioned 2 weeks) with seemingly no end any time soon, the player with more HP left will win. Matches shouldn't take that long though.
Question: What happens if multiple players gather the 4th part in the same round?
Answer: If that happens, the others will be eliminated and they will be paired up in a final showdown.
Question: What if multiple players is 3 players? Or any odd number?
Answer: That means one player will get a bye and need to fight 1 time less, with the drawback of his upcoming opponent having +1 extra mystery card.
Question: Guard reduces the total incoming damage in a combo, no matter if it is used as 1st, 2nd or 3rd move, doesn't it?
Answer: No. Guard is only active during your current action inside a combo.
Question: Can I use both Move Right and Double Right in the same combo?
Answer: Yes. Same with Move Left and Double Left.
