## Battle Mechanics

### Formation System

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/cryptoclash-35e80db9/peArRaXf8n5IXTnV/images/clash-cards.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=peArRaXf8n5IXTnV&q=85&s=8fcebf9c5354afb78c7077cedadafa47" alt="Clash cards screen showing the cards in a deck" width="1015" height="412" data-path="images/clash-cards.png" />

Each battle uses a **5-card formation**:

* **First position:** Hero card (required)
* **Remaining Positions:** Troop cards (4 required)

<Info>
  Hero cards can only be placed in first position, while troop cards can be placed in any of the remaining positions
</Info>

### Individual Clashes

Battles are resolved through **individual clashes**:

* Each card battles its corresponding enemy card
* Hero against Hero, Troop 1 vs Troop 1, etc.
* The player who wins the majority of individual clashes wins the battle

### Real-Time Crypto Integration

Card power is dynamically affected by cryptocurrency market performance:

* **24-Hour Price Changes** - Card power multiplies based on crypto price movements
* **Market Volatility** - Higher volatility can lead to greater power swings
* **Real-Time Updates** - Power calculations update with live market data

<Warning>
  Market volatility can significantly impact battle outcomes - plan your battles strategically!
</Warning>

## Battle Scoring

### Base Score Calculation

Each card's battle score is calculated using:

```
Base Score = (Power + Attack + Defense + Speed + Magic) × Rarity Multiplier
```

### Scoring Components

* **Base Score** - Calculated from card stats and rarity
* **Random Modifiers** - Adds unpredictability to battles (±5-15%)
* **Crypto Price Boost** - Multiplies power based on market performance
* **Bonus Systems** - Various multipliers from synergies and special effects
