==Combat and Mental Stats Explained==
Your active creature's combat levels affect, as you may have guessed, how your creature will fare in battle (either NPC or PVP). Powerup items and and a creature's natural skills all play into how hits and damage are calculated in battle, so it's best to play to your active creature's strengths when choosing which stats to train. 

Before entering battle you can use your active creature's main menu to choose a "Battle Style", which is the stat that your gained experience will go to. You can choose to train Attack, Strength, Defense, or all of these at once (All Round). On top of the experience type you choose, a small amount of gained experienced automatically goes towards increasing your Hitpoints level. 

The levels play into combat in the following ways:

=== Attack (Accuracy) ===
:Your creature's attack stat determines how often it will land a blow on the enemy, as well as contributing slightly to the creature's maximum hit. '''A higher attack means less misses.'''
*Attack is trained by using the All Round or Accurate [[battle style]] when fighting.

=== Strength (Damage) ===
:Your creature's strength stat determines the probability that any hit will do maximum damage, as well as increasing the maximum damage your creature can deal out in any one turn. '''A higher strength means harder hits.''' 
*Strength is trained by using the ''All Round'' or ''Aggressive'' [[battle style]] when fighting.

=== Defense  ===
:Your creature's defense stat determines the probability and weight of your creature minimizing the damage dealt by an opponent. '''A higher defense means less health lost in any given turn.''' 
*Defense is trained by using the ''All Round'' or ''Defensive'' [[battle style]] when fighting.

=== Hitpoints (Health) ===
:Your creature's hitpoints stat determines the maximum health your creature can hold. '''A higher hitpoint level means a more maximum health.'''
*Hitpoints is trained whilst using any [[battle style]] when fighting.

=== Crafting (Healing) ===
:Crafting is a very special skill in the Krafties world. Outside of battle it allows you craft items that can aid your creatures in many ways, while during battle it allows you to craft healing energy used to revitalize you or your teammates. 
:As you increase your crafting level, you can heal more and more health in any given turn. However, healing has a high energy cost and can only be used every other turn in pvp battle. '''A higher crafting level means more health gained from a single heal.'''
*Crafting is trained whilst crafting and healing (this means exp for the one who casts the heal)

===Focus (Mental accuracy)===
:Focus is accuracy and some effect power
*Focus is trained by using [[Scrolls|Focus Scrolls]] and [[Mental Tablets|Focus Tablet]]

===Intellect (Mental strength)===
:Intellect is pure effect power
*Intellect is trained by using [[Scrolls|Intellect Scrolls]] and [[Mental Tablets|Intellect Tablet]]

===Fortitude (Mental defense)===
:Fortitude blocks against focus and intellect
*Fortitude is trained by using [[Scrolls|Fortitude Scrolls]] and [[Mental Tablets|Fortitude Tablet]]

==Elements in Battles==
[[File:ElementalWeaknesses.png|300px|left|Krafties Battle Cycle]] Each Kraftie element has it's special strengths, weaknesses and abilities. Some are even specialized in boosting their teammates or cursing their enemies.
:It is up to you weather you wish to harness the powers of the Universal Mind or tap into the Strength and raw physical power of the Ages. Choose wisely for the fight has only now TRULY begun.

When one Kraftie goes to deal damage to another, it's not only the combat stats of the two that come into play. Certain types of Kraftie have their own elemental strengths and weaknesses. It's important to note the elemental type of Kraftie you're facing off against, as it may have a chance of dealing critical damage to your creature. If this is the case, you're creature also has a chance of dealing minimized damage during the battle. This plays an important role in team battle strategy.

=== Elemental Weaknesses===
If you have a fire type creature, be wary of water. Likewise if you have a water type creature you should not face off against an earth type opponent. Wind creatures deal critical damage to earth types. Fire deals critical damage to wind type creatures. The illustration below shows the elemental weaknesses:
