Battles in Wander Stars are settled through a unique combat system that combines the structure of turn-based JRPGs, the strategic layer of deckbuilders and the spectacle of animes like Dragon Ball Z. Create custom attacks by combining words up to the limit of your spirit level. The more spirit you have, the more slots you have to place words into and the more powerful and complex actions you can take.ACTION WORDS do something e.g. KICK, BLOCK or ITEM. MODIFIER WORDS modify actions e.g. SUPER (+1 damage), FAST (reduces cooldown) or HUGE (attacks all opponents).ELEMENTAL WORDS add an elemental impact and status effects e.g. FIRE (burn) or WATER (wet). All words have cool downs and opponents might be weak or strong against specific attacks or specific elements. You won’t know which until you engage them in battle so you need to be prepared to improvise.<picture><source srcset="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1575810/extras/a72739358fe2aae0fa49ad67b3e3900e.webp?t=1759704649"><img src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1575810/extras/a72739358fe2aae0fa49ad67b3e3900e.poster.avif?t=1759704649" class="bb_img" alt="COLLECT THEM ALL" width=990 height=370 /></picture>With over 200 words to collect across the game there is a near infinite number of possible unique attacks to make. Things start off easy but as you expand Ringo’s vocabulary you’ll need to carefully select which words you take into battle, building strategies around your mix of categories, blend of offensive and defensive words, giving yourself options to manage your opponents weaknesses and strengths, consider optimizing the juggling of cool downs and, of course, which attacks sound the coolest.The result is an accessible, immediately fun but deep combat system.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1575810/extras/6043b5772b8a078529791be417640b5b.avif?t=1759704649" alt="STEP UP WITH PEP UPS" width=600 height=160 /><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1575810/extras/7eeac45ecf3200c13a2e2016903b56d5.poster.avif?t=1759704649" width=780 height=438 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1575810/extras/7eeac45ecf3200c13a2e2016903b56d5.webm?t=1759704649" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1575810/extras/7eeac45ecf3200c13a2e2016903b56d5.mp4?t=1759704649" type="video/mp4"></video> The core ethos of the Kiai martial art is to fight with honor.
