Design principles
Design principles are there to guide the development of the class
Battle Principle 1: 4-hit rule for low levels
All other things being equal, at level x, 1<=x<=5, a level x monster should kill another level x monster in four hits
Battle Principle 2: 3-hit rule for low-level advantage
All other things being equal, A level y=x+1 should kill a level x in three hits
Battle Principle 3: 8-hit rule for high-level, same physical-magical ratio
All other things being equal, at level z, z>5 (stage 2 and higher monsters), a monster should kill a fellow level z monster in 8 hits if they have the same physical-magical association (physical vs physical or balanced vs balanced or magical vs magical)
Battle Principle 4: 6-hit rule for high-level, same ration
All other things being equal, at level m=z+1, a monster should kill a fellow level z monster in 6 hits if they have the same physical-magical association.
Battle Principle 5: Elemental Dominance outweighs tempo advantage
All other things being equal, even with a tempo disadvantage, an elementally-dominant monster should win an equally-leveled matchup
Leveling Principle 1: Monsters Level Faster
Monsters level 25% faster than humans to balance level cap
Leveling Principle 2: Monsters have level cap
Monsters will have a level cap of generation*10
Leveling Principle 3a: Type Changing
Monsters will evolve into new Types at levels 5 (to adolescent), 15(to adult) and 25(to elder)
Leveling Principle 3b: P/M ratio
When choosing a new type, the Monsters P/M ratio will be taken into account, if possible
Leveling Principle 5: Health and Magic Leveling
fifty percent of the leveling for health and magic will be based on the monster types' position in the tree
| Multipliers | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| HP Magic | .8 | .7 | .6 |
| HP Balanced | 1 | 1.1 | 1.2 |
| HP Physical | 1.2 | 1.4 | 1.6 |
| MP Magic | 1.2 | 1.4 | 1.8 |
| MP Balanced | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| MP Physical | .4 | .5 | .6 |
fifty percent of the leveling for health and magic will be based on P/M ratio Ratio is calculated by (numMagicalAttacks)/(numMagicalAttacks+numPhysicalAttacks) so a monster with a ratio of 1 does all magical attacks and a monster with a ratio of 0 does all physical attacks
| Multipliers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stage | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| HP r<.1 | 1.3 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.8 |
| HP .1<=r<.4 | 1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 1.5 |
| HP .4<=r<.6 | 1 | 1.05 | 1.1 | 1.15 |
| HP .6<=r<.9 | .7 | .75 | .8 | .85 |
| HP r>=.9 | .6 | .65 | .7 | .75 |
| MP r<.1 | .4 | .4 | .4 | .4 |
| MP .1<=r<.4 | .5 | .6 | .7 | .8 |
| MP .4<=r<.6 | 1 | 1 | 1.05 | 1.1 |
| MP .6<=r<.9 | 1.2 | 1.35 | 1.5 | 1.65 |
| MP r>=.9 | 1.3 | 1.5 | 1.7 | 1.9 |
Elemental Damage Principle 0:
Should a source trigger multiple elemental principles, the effects stack
Elemental Damage Principle 1:
Monsters receive +20% damage from sources dominating their primary element
Elemental Damage Principle 2:
Monsters receive +10% damage from sources dominating their secondary element
Elemental Damage Principle 3:
Monsters receive -20% damage from their primary element
Elemental Damage Principle 4:
Monsters receive -10% damage from their secondary element
Elemental Damage Principle 5:
Monsters receive -10% damage from the element dominated by their primary element
Elemental Damage Principle 6:
Monsters receive -5% damage from the element dominated by their secondary element
Elemental Damage Multiplier Table
From the above principles, we construct a table
| Secondary | Primary | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Secondary | ElementMatches | ElementDominates | ElementIsDominated | NoRelationship |
| ElementMatches | .7 | .8 | 1.1 | .9 |
| ElementDominates | .75 | .85 | 1.15 | .95 |
| ElementIsDominated | .9 | 1 | 1.3 | 1.1 |
| None | .8 | .9 | 1.2 | 0 |

The old Java Version Didn't do much and had a lot of extra stuff that wasn't used, but feel free to look at it if you are lost!
