# Strategy

**Strategic Considerations**

* Involves predicting the opponent's choices based on their Orb’s traits.
* Balancing between using one’s elemental strengths and exploiting the opponent’s weaknesses.
* Adapting choices based on the outcomes of previous rounds

#### **Elemental Scores (Fire, Earth, Water)**

* Central to winning individual rounds.
* Players with higher scores in an element have an incentive to choose it, while opponents might avoid it.

#### **Aer Score**

* A balanced Orb (lower Aer) offers less predictability, making strategic choices more challenging for the opponent.
* However, it might lack the high intensity in any single element, reducing the likelihood of a guaranteed win in specific matchups.

#### **Ether Score**

* High Ether scores reflect a player's accumulated victories and strategic achievements, evolving as a testament to their skill and experience in the game.
* Orbs with higher Ether scores may unlock unique abilities or bonuses, adding strategic depth and influencing player decisions in duels and long-term game progression.

**This is a game of strategically picking the element, considering the opponent's tendencies, their ORB's trait strengths, and gameplay history.**<br>
