4 enemies or 2 + 1 stronger
4 enemies or 2 stronger + 1 weaker

Use your basic attack or skills. Skills require energy and may have cooldowns. Some skills have mini-games for activation.
Use items from your inventory including potions, throwables, and consumables.
Recover energy. Essential for using powerful skills in extended battles.
Reduce incoming damage. Useful when low on health or expecting big attacks.
Attempt to flee the battle. Success rate depends on speed stat.
When enemies attack, you play a blocking mini-game. The bar color indicates your block quality:
Perfect block - minimal damage
Partial block - reduced damage
Failed block - full damage
