I've once again offered to Mod a practice battle so that Wolf Kanno can get a taste for the battle system. First come first serve in regards to an opponent, and try to avoid peeking at each others stats to make it a challenge ;)

I'll play!
Alrighty then!
ExDeath vs Ultros
Items
ExDeath Hi Potion x1, STR+
Ultros: Hi Potion x1, MAGD+
Both combatants have 200 HP.
The first move will go to ExDeath...
Let's Fight
MAGD
The hulking Exdeath's armour rattles as he begins his first attack. He uses his MAGD stat to attack his tentacled foe... The attack backfires!
Ultros's powerful MAGD stat combined with his MAGD+ item means ExDeath does -30 to his own HP
Ultros remains on 200/200 HP
Leaving a furious Exdeath with 170/200 HP
The next turn goes to Ultros!
ACID RAIN! :ultros:
The horrifying Ultros raises his tentacles to the sky and calls down the ability ACID RAIN. Exdeath will take -5 to his stats at the end of this turn, with an additional -5 added to that penalty at the end of every turn played by either opponent!
Exdeath loses -5 from every stat.
Exdeath remains on 170/200 HP
Ultros is unharmed with a full 200/200 HP
MAGD has been played.
The next turn goes to Exdeath!
MAG
This is going to end badly.
EDIT: To speed things up, I'll use a Hi-Potion next turn.
Seemingly unfazed by the acid splashing against his armour, Exdeath prepares his next attack. Summoning all his destructive force, he unleashes a barrage of MAG at his opponent... His attack is a success!
A monstrous -85 to Ultros's HP
Exdeath takes a further -10 to every stat
Ultros's tentacles recoil as he nurses his remaining 115/200 HP
Exdeath taunts his opponent with his 170/200 HP
MAGD and MAG have been played.
The next turn goes to Ultros!
Hi-potion!
Ultros reaches in to the dark recesses of his twisting shape and pulls out a slime covered Hi-Potion. He greedily drinks from it, making disgusting slurping sounds in the process.
Ultros gains +20 to his HP
Exdeath loses an additional -15 from every stat.
Exdeath remains on 170/200 HP
Ultros is restored to 135/200 HP
MAGD and MAG have been played.
The next turn goes to Exdeath!
I use STR+
OOC: STR+ is an equippable item so you start the match with +20 to your strength stat. It does not need to be consumed like a Hi-Potion :)
Well then STR
OOC: Psy I'll be changing your ability I think, cause I realise now that it is absolutely brutal xD Sorry buddy.
OOC: :( :( :( :( :(
I'll finish off with a DEF after this turn!
Beginning to feel the effects of the ACID RAIN, Exdeath rushes forward for a STR attack, looking to end this fight quickly... His attack is a success!
-15 to Ultros's HP
Exdeath takes a further -20 to every stat
Ultros's thrashes angrily as is reduced to 120/200 HP
Exdeath remains relatively untouched at 170/200 HP
MAGD, STR and MAG have been played.
The next turn goes to Ultros!
DEF jam vendetta.
capped at -5 to each stat each turn is probably better.
Ultros ensnares Exdeath in one purple tentacle and prepares for his final attack! He attacks his weakened opponent with his DEF stat... It is a success.
Exdeath is sent reeling with a massive -100 to his HP
Exdeath is stunned, now sitting with just 70/200 HP
Ultros squelches his approval at his 120/200 HP
4 Stats have been played. The battle has concluded.
The winner is Ultros!
OOC: Thanks guys. A good battle and I have some very handy information from it to rebalance both of your abilities. A well fought game from both of you!
One thing I learned was that my "ability -> item" strategy does give the pick of the combat stats to the opponent. I only got to choose one and that was the last move of the game. If he'd had a high SPD stat and gone for that instead of MAGD, my huge strength, I wouldn't have fared well in that at all.
Yeah but the item/ability strategy also helps delay the game, and since I was playing by ear and not looking at the stat sheets, I didn't know which of your stats was good or not; so it was very likely I would choose the wrong stat and get creamed with a -10 to it. My only hope of winning would have been to start off with two of my weaker stats, and save my highest stats for last, but considering MAGD is my second highest stat and I lost that round, I didn't really have much of a chance unless I started the match with Void, but even that skill would have only delayed your ability to use the actions, so it wouldn't have been useful for me. Even delaying your use of a potion doesn't help me because I can't take another action, and with Acid Rain in effect, you had a strong chance of winning or at least minimizing the damage of having to take a STAT action.
