# Combat Crypture World has implemented a sophisticated combat system that is based on **Crypture types** and progressive **combat stats.** As a rule of thumb, higher rarity Cryptures are more likely to grow into being **stronger and more resistant to damage** than lower rarity Cryptures. Training is a key factor in developing your Cryptures. **By gaining more experience and with proper training**, every Crypture has the potential to grow stronger and more resilient during battle.

Crypture stats and special attacks during a PvP battle

### Healing An HP bar displays the health (HP) of a Crypture, which by default is fully green. The maximum HP for a Crypture depends on its type and level. As a Crypture gains experience and levels up, the **Max HP** limit increases. To top up the HP stat, a Crypture must be fed Fruits (see Healing section). During battle your Cryptures will take some amount of damage based on heir **Defense stat**, the **Attack stat** of the opponent and the type of **Special attack**. A Crypture whose HP falls to zero is no longer able to inflict damage to its opponents. Only the Healing feature can revive a wounded Crypture. ### Training The **Attack** and **Defense** stats track the strength and resilience of Cryptures. As they gain experience and level up, their **Max Attack** and **Max Defense** limits increase. You must use the Training feature to inflate the battle stats up to their max values. Training equipment can be obtained in exchange for resources (Wood, Rock, Gold) in the Crypture Store. Training equipment can also be found on the secondary market. Training equipment has rarities with variable values:
NameTypeValue
Common ShieldDefense+6
Rare ShieldDefense+12
Legendary ShieldDefense+36
Common Training DummyAttack+6
Rare Training DummyAttack+12
Legendary Training DummyAttack+36
### Special attacks By default all Cryptures perform a Normal attack. However, some Cryptures have the extra ability to perform **Special attacks** as defined by their **Type**. When properly chosen, a **Special attack** **will amplify the damage** upon a vulnerable opponent. During defense, some Types of Cryptures will be **more resistant to certain attacks**. Hence, they will mitigate part of the damage received.
