At first when players beginVoice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars, the combat might make little sense. While there is a designated number on attacks, those attacks don’t always deal that much damage. TheJRPG combatalgorithm behind the numbers might seem nonsensical, but most of it is related to Elemental weaknesses and some other variables.
Battle Numbers in Voice of Cards
Most of the attacks inSquare Enix’s new gameVoice of Cardsseem to have a number attached to them, giving players a good idea of how many HP points the attack will deduct from an enemy. However, the math doesn’t always add up when trying to calculate how much damage an attack will do. This is because of several variables that are hidden in the code behind the scenes of every hit.

Damage numbers can be affected by a number of variables:
Since there are a massive number of things that can alter just how much damage a character will do, breaking down each section will make understanding how these numbers are calculated. Players will need to remember thatVoice of Cardsis less of a card game and more of an RPG, where numbers don’t mean quite the same thing.
Elemental Weaknesses and Strengths in Voice of Cards
Elemental weaknesses inVoice of Cardsare similar to those of many RPGs. There is a wide selection of elements that an attack can be, including things like Bolt (lightning), Fire, Light, and Wind. However, it’s not always easy to tell how a creature will react to a certain type of attack. Elements can be hinted at through the card’s art, but are never explicitly mentioned during a battle. For example, players who come across a creature that looks to be made of wood can assume that is a plant elemental of some kind and that Fire will be a strong attack. This means that some other attacks may be weaker against the card, like Bolt or Wind. Like manyold-school JRPGs likeFinal Fantasy, finding all this out is mostly trial and error.
