There's not much to explain with the battle system of this site. You have stats. Let's say your attack power is 12.
For a regular physical attack with a weapon, the formula would be like so
12 x 2 = 24 - (enemy's defense) = Total damage
Basically, you multiply your attack stat times 2, and subtract the enemy's defense stat to the total of your multiplication.
This is only for your physical attack with a weapon, skill usage will be further explained.
-------------------------------------
MAGIC
Using magic is pretty similar.
You take your magic stat and multiply it by the multiple of the spell and subtract the endurance of the enemy from that total.
For example, let's say your Magic stat is 10. And a spell like Agi makes 2.5x damage. So the formula would be like so.
10 (Magic stat) x 2.5 = 25 - (enemy's endurance) = Total damage
Magic makes more damage than the regular physical attack due to the SP costage. Please keep track of it.
------------------------------------------
SKILL USE
Bear with me, skill usage is a bit more complicated than your regular attack.
Skill use is basically using your Persona. A Persona comes with a variety of skills. Say you're using a Persona with the skill Bash.
Bash skill is 2.5x damage and uses 5% of your Maximum HP.
We went through the attack formulas, Physical Skills use your attack power and your enemy's defense stat like a regular attack. Except you must pay up a certain amount of your HP.
So Let's say your HP is 500. And you attack with Bash.
Attack x 2.5= Damage - Enemy's defense= Total Damage
By using this skill, you use 25 HP of your 500. Yes, your MAX HP count. You will NOT be able to use your skill if you don't have enough HP to perform it, be wary of this.
===WARNING===
Regarding Persona switching, you can only switch to a different persona ONCE per turn. When you switch a Persona, at the beginning of your turn, post to who you switched to, plus their weaknesses and strengths. It makes things on the Mods in charge of the battles MUCH easier to calculate the damage. Please also do your part.
