Fighters

Fighters are the combatants in a Cowculator battle. Their configuration combines resources, combat stats, active skills, passive skills, and a fallback skill.

Fighter stats

Each fighter has resources and combat stats that determine how they act and respond during battle:

Stat	What it controls
health	Damage the fighter can sustain before being knocked out
energy	Resource spent when executing active skills
attack	Base offensive strength used by attacks and some healing effects
defence	Mitigation of incoming normal damage
speed	How quickly the fighter's turn meter increases
critical_rate	Base chance for an attack to become critical
critical_damage	Damage multiplier applied on a critical hit
critical_resistance	Reduction applied to an attacker's critical chance
damage_multiplier	General multiplier applied to outgoing attack damage
damage_reduction	Reduction of incoming normal damage
dot_reduction	Reduction of incoming damage-over-time effects
health_regen_1	End-of-turn regeneration based on maximum health
health_regen_2	End-of-turn regeneration based on current health
energy_regen_1	End-of-turn regeneration based on maximum energy
energy_regen_2	End-of-turn regeneration based on current energy

Skills

Field	Purpose
skills	Required array of active skills used in the fighter's configured rotation. It may be empty.
passives	Required array of triggered effects that run automatically. It may be empty.
fallback_skill	Required skill that executes without an energy cost when the skills rotation is empty or the intended active skill is unaffordable

See the Skills guide for ordering, targeting, passive timing, and examples.

See Damage calculation for how these stats interact.
