Combat System

Combat in LumenTale: Memories of Trey is turn-based. You send out your Animon and choose actions each turn, with the outcome shaped by the elemental types and emotional attributes of the creatures involved. Battles happen against wild Animon, story opponents, and other players online.

Battle Formats

These formats appear in both the campaign and in online play, where you can challenge other players to ranked matches.

Types and Attributes

Every Animon has two combat-relevant traits:

• Elemental type: one of 13 types such as Fire, Water, or Electric. Types have strengths and weaknesses against each other. See Elemental Types.

• Emotional attribute: one of five attributes (Felicis, Mestus, Furor, Horrens, Sereum) tied to emotions. See Animon Attributes.

Because each creature combines a type and an attribute, team building is about more than levels. A roster that covers several types and attributes can answer a wider range of opponents.

Turn Flow

On your turn you select an action for your active Animon. Damage depends on the move used and how the attacker's type matches up against the defender's type. Bringing the right creature into a fight, and switching when a matchup is bad, is central to winning tougher battles.

Building a Team

A strong team usually spreads coverage across multiple Elemental Types so you are not walled by a single resistant opponent. Leveling matters too, so check Leveling and Progression for how to grow your creatures. You can round out gaps in your roster through Trading.

Online Play

The game supports online PvP, letting you test your team against other players in 1v1 and 4v4 matches, including ranked battles. Exact ranked structure and seasonal details are best confirmed in the live build.
