Power Stone

General Description

Power Stones are an additional mechanic that enhances core combat. During a battle, players can charge their shuriken by holding a tap (long press) to deliver a powered-up attack to the opponent.

The charging process is accompanied by visual and audio effects that emphasize the attack’s strength. Upon hitting the target after a throw, additional effects, both visual and audio, trigger to highlight the success of the enhanced attack.

This mechanic requires precise timing and opens up extra tactical possibilities in combat.

Features

Each battle allows up to 3 Power Stone throws. If a player has fewer than three Power Stones, they can only use as many throws as their stock permits (for example, two stones mean two throws per fight).

Activation Process:

At the start of a battle, players can activate an enhanced throw by using a Power Stone. To charge it, hold a long tap on the Power Stone for 1-1.5 seconds. If stamina is at zero, charging isn’t possible, and players must wait for stamina to recover and the indicator to vanish. If the tap is released before charging completes, the charge resets without consuming a stone. Once charged, the Power Stone glows with colored sparks, signaling it’s ready, and can be thrown at any point during the fight.

Throw Effects:

• On Hit:

  • Triggers a visual effect.

  • Deals increased damage (+50% to +150%, depending on the stone type).

  • Damage may bypass the opponent’s shield without reduction.

  • If the opponent parries, no damage is dealt, and the stone charge is consumed.

• On Miss:

  • Consumes 1 charge.

  • No damage is dealt.

• Against Opponent’s Amulet: Effects like invulnerability, dodge, or reflection work as they would against a regular attack.
