[edit] Terminology

[edit] Range

Both your active character, and your opponent's active character share a range. This can either be:

1. Close range - The two active characters are positioned in the center of the combat window. (See right)
2. Far range - The two active characters are positioned at the edges of the combat window. (See right)

[edit] Maneuver

In the maneuver phase there are three options available:

From left to right

1. Pass - Costs 0 Energy.
2. Get far - Costs 50 Energy.
3. Get close - Costs 50 Energy.

[edit] How the Maneuver Phase is played

Each player must decide a maneuver for their active character. These choices are selected before revealing what the other player has decided, so are made blindly. Failure to decide a maneuver before the time limit expires results in pass being chosen.

Opposite choices by each player mean the range remains unchanged after the maneuver phase. A player resting means that their opponent's maneuver defines the range outcome for this maneuver phase. If both players rest, the range remains unchanged.

The Maneuver Phase has two possible outcomes, close range and far range. Below lists the processes through which each of these can be achieved.
