In Math Battle, your character leads an army of elemental minions into battle against each other. You hire the minions by paying them coins to join your side. In this game, you will be fighting a bot.
The goal of the game is simple. You want to make it through as many rounds as possible with health remaining.
You start with three coins at the beginning of the game, and with the start of each turn, you will get one more coin with an upper limit of 10. So when you start turn four, you will have six coins. At the end of every, if you have not spent all your coins it does not carry over to the next turn. So, if you spent four coins on turn four, on turn five you will still only have seven coins.
Each turn is made up of three phases Recruit, Attack, and Blocking.
Once you have your coins for the turn, you can buy any minion in the buy-board for three coins, and sell any minion on your board for one coin. You can only have seven minions under your command at one time, so if you see a minion you want, you have to sell one of yours first. For everything in this game there are two ways to play, you can play with a mouse, or you can play entirely with the keyboard and a screen reader. For buying and selling a minion you must first select the minion. With a mouse do this by clidking on the image of the minion you wish to buy or sell, and for a keyboard use the tab key to bring the focus over the minion you want each minion you focus over will be read out by a screen reader, then press and hold the ctrl and alt keys, and press the enter button to select the minion you have focused. Once you have a minion focused you can either click the buy or sell minion button, or press and hold ctrl and alt, and press the "D" key. You willhear announced that you bought or sold a mininion then you can progress with the game.
If there aren't any minions on the buy-board that you want, you can refresh the buy-board. This happens when you start every new round too, so the minions you saw last round won't be there when you come back. If you want to do this during the Recruit phase each refresh costs one coin. You can either press on the refresh button on the left side of the board, or you can press and hold the ctrl and alt keys and press the "A" key. You can then check to see what new minions are on the buy-board by pressing and holdin the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the "H" key. You can always do the same for your board by pressing and holding the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the "G" key.
During the Recruit phase if you have four coins, you may want to level up. Leveling up means that much stronger minions will appear on the buy-board, and it is the key to winning. If you want to do this during the Recruit phase each refresh costs four coins. You can either press on the level up button on the top-right side of the board, or you can press and hold the ctrl and alt keys and press the "F" key.
Once you have finished the Recruit phase it is time to move on to the Attack phase. You can do this at any time during the Recruit phase by either clicking the Complete Recruit Phase button on the left-side of the page, or by pressing and holding the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the "S" key.
After the Recruit phase is over, the battle begins. You face off in a one-v-one against a random computer opponent until only one player's minions remain.
This phase is entirely automated, so your minions do all the battling without input. Fighting begins with the left most minions attacking each other then each one looses health equal to the other minions attack, (unless one minion has a type advantage, more on that later) if a minion is ever reduced to or below zero health it dies and is removed from the board. After that each board will be read out and there will be a sound marking the start of the next combat round. Then another attack will ensue, again between the leftmost minions. This continues until only one player has minions left. If your minions are the victor then you win the round and you begin again at the Recruit phase after the victory animation plays. If not then prepare to take damage and the game moves to the Block phase.
After attacks are completed if you are the loser, then prepare to take some damage.
The damage you take is equal to all of the levels of your opponent's minions still alive added together with the level of your opponent. However, you do get a chance to block some of this damage. When the Block phase starts you will be presented with a menu that allows you to chose a shield. If you choose a shield that divides the amount of damage coming in then you only take damage equal to the quotient of the damage and your shield. If the damage coming in is prime, then it cannot be divided by any other numbers, but there is a shield for that. If the incoming damage is prime and you select the prime shield then you only take one third of the damage rounded down. The menu that appears is a third level heading and is a select box, so you can use tab to reach it and select a shield to protect you.
Once you have chosen a shield you need to end the defense round you can do this by selecting the "Complete Block Phase" button on the left side, or by pressing and holding the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the "S" key (the same as ending the Recruit phase).
Once you hear if your block was a success then the Recruit phase has begun again.
There are many powerful minions all grouped into three categories: Fire, Water, and Grass. Each has a type advantage. The Fire minions focus on attack and do extra damage to grass minions. Water minions are defensive and have a bonus when fighting a fire. Grass minions are well rounded and do more damage when fighting against water minions.
Also, every minion has two stats, an attack and defense. Maximize these in order to win Math Battle!
There are new and exciting minions in all elements at each level, each more powerful than the last. For a full list of the minions, go to the compendium section of Math-Battle's website once you have signed in.
For users who might struggle use a mouse there are also hot-keys. As you may have noticed all of these with the exception of the "tab" key to highlight minions (you can also use "shift" and "tab" to go in the reverse direction as "tab") begin by pressing and holding the ctrl and alt keys then pressing an additional key:
- Enter Key: Selects the minion that has been highlighted by the tab key.
- A. Key: During the Recruit phase this hot-key will refresh the buy-board.
