BATTLE GOALS
What are Battle Goals?
Before a PvP scenario, each character chooses one Battle Goal - a combat mindset that grants specific perks and drawbacks. You cannot change your choice after combat has started.​ Battle Goals can alter turn order, modify stats, or impose restrictions; some have requirements or costs. Pick the one that best fits your character's aims in the coming fight.
​
How do I use Battle Goals?
You can choose individual Battle Goals to learn more about them after PvP has been dropped: after everyone has joined, it's the next step after. Battle Goals are chosen in the PvP Menu, and are hidden until Round 1 Begins. Round 1 can begin only once all Battle Goals are chosen.
