How to play AniBattle

Every /roll draws a card. You can roll once every 15 minutes.

Each card has three stats: ATK weighs on turn order, critical hits and dodges; HP is health; PWR is damage. The overall sums up all three.

What decides a card's value is its rarity, not its overall. An excellent Common never gets close to a bad Master — the overall only moves the price within its own rarity band.

Each round is a 1-versus-1: your first card faces the opponent's first, the second against the second, and so on. The order you pick matters. Whoever wins 2 of the 3 rounds takes the duel.

There's variable damage, crits and dodges — but everything leans toward the better card. And anyone who drops below 40% health enters desperation mode, with a much higher crit chance. Comebacks happen.

Wins move your ranking score. Beating someone far above you pays a lot; beating someone far below pays almost nothing — so there's no point hunting weak players.

You earn coins by selling cards, completing missions, collecting your /daily and winning staked battles.

There are two ways to sell, and the difference between them is large.

Boxes are bought with coins and kept in your bag. You open them whenever you want, with /box open.

Each one has its own distribution, and the percentages are in plain sight in /box. Nothing is hidden.

One important thing the game doesn't hide: every box loses money on average. You're paying for the chance, not for the return. Open a hundred boxes expecting profit and you'll lose money — it was designed that way, because that's what takes coins out of circulation and holds market prices down.

Gems come from two doors: buying them in the /shop or salvaging a card you don't want.

Each attempt has three outcomes: it goes up a level, nothing happens, or it drops a level. As the level rises, succeeding gets harder.

There is no ceiling. A high-level card isn't an expensive card, it's a lucky one — and that's what makes it worth what it's worth on the player market.

Rolling, battling, trading, discovering a new card, completing a mission and collecting your daily: it all earns XP. Someone who uses the whole bot levels faster than someone who only rolls.

At levels 10, 20, 30 you start stacking one more roll, reaching 4. In practice: if you can't come in every 15 minutes, the rolls that tick by while you're away stop being lost, and you use several in a row when you come back.

Note what this is not: the level doesn't shorten your cooldown and doesn't improve your rarity odds. The draw is the same for everyone, from day one to level 50. The level only stops you from wasting what was already yours.

Even if you sell, trade or salvage the card, the discovery stays on your record. It's permanent.

Each card has a fixed number: today's #042 is the same tomorrow, even as the catalog grows.

Event cards are handed out on special occasions — beta participation, campaigns, tournament prizes. They never come from `/roll` or from a box, and that's exactly what makes them special: having one means you were there.

They live in a separate Pokédex, at /pokedex dex:evento. The reason is simple: the normal Pokédex exists to be completed, and if event cards went into it, everyone's bar would drop with each new handout — nobody who missed the event could ever hit 100% again.

Some cards are bound: they're yours and can't be sold, traded or transferred. They battle normally, and show up with a 🔒 in listings. Others are tradeable, and those tend to be worth a lot on the market — there's no way to get more once the handout closes.

Not every event is a surprise. Many open sign-ups: use /event to see what's running, the prize for each one and how many people have joined. Entering is free, takes one command and costs nothing beyond that — no fee, no stake, and you lose nothing if you don't win.

Once you're signed up, there's nothing else to do: the prize lands in your account when the event is settled. Not every prize is a card — many are coins, gems or boxes.

Trading is the cheapest way to complete the Pokédex. You propose, the other person sees exactly what's going out and what's coming in, and both have to accept — nobody loses a card without clicking accept.

A bound card (with 🔒) can't be traded, gifted or listed on the market. If the bot refuses one of your offers, that's almost always why.

If the offer sits there, it expires on its own after a minute and nothing happens. In that case just propose again — no card gets stuck anywhere.

VIP shortens your wait between rolls (up to 40% less), gives one extra roll charge on the Gold and Master plans, increases the daily reward and unlocks frames, colors and badges.

About that extra charge, it's worth being exact: it adds to the ones you earn by levelling up, it doesn't replace them. A free player reaches 4 charges just by playing, and a subscriber at level 1 has 2 — not 5. It's one extra charge, not a level shortcut.

No plan grants a combat advantage. Card stats, rarity odds and battle outcomes are exactly the same for everyone, paying or not. What the subscription buys is time and looks, never luck.

Boxes don't change either: the percentages are the same for subscribers and non-subscribers, and there's no box or card that exists only for paying players.

This isn't a marketing promise: there's an automated check in the bot's code that stops any plan from touching a combat stat or a rarity chance.
