# Key Mechanics
|
||
* 10d chaos maths, not rock paper scissors
|
||
* phys is faster and chaotic
|
||
* spells are slow and reliable
|
||
* defensives are implicit
|
||
* red_shield is restored, not gained
|
||
* players can feel aggressive
|
||
|
||
- build archtypes
|
||
fast blue
|
||
slow blue
|
||
red + aggro green
|
||
blue + defensive green
|
||
|
||
