combat mechanics

Combat mechanics refer to the systems and rules that define how combat occurs in a game, sport, or military strategy. They encompass factors such as action timing, attack and defense techniques, character statistics (like strength and agility), and the use of equipment or abilities. In games, combat mechanics dictate how players manage health, resources, and tactics during encounters. Understanding these elements helps players make strategic decisions to maximize their effectiveness in combat situations, balancing offense and defense while considering the strengths and weaknesses of both their own abilities and those of their opponents.
