Hello everyone, It's me Ken.
I'm here to demonstrate how the battle system works in Digimon: Tamer Island.
First off, You must find yourself an opponent or accept the challenge of a Tamer in the Tamer Coliseum Forum.
You can also pm each other asking if they want to battle.
VS
For this tutorial, I will be battling with Grandwing, our Captain.
We will demonstrate a battle against a lower level Digimon and a higher level Digimon. (Wormmon [R] vs Thundermon [C])
*A word of caution, you must never delete any of your posts within this Forum or we will prohibit you in battling anymore. It is considered cheating.
If in case you made a mistake with the rolling of the dice, just tell it to your opponent and roll again.
STEPS
1. After finding yourself an opponent, decide on the Digimon you both will be fighting with. You can have it [R] vs [R] or [C] vs anything you would both agree on. If you have more than 1 Digimon, choose the one you will battle alongside.
No faking of Digimon! You really should have that Digimon you will be using in the battle. If possible, you need to show the Digimon art to your opponent.
Once we caught you faking a Digimon, you'll be prohibited from battling.
You should both discuss also in the LF: Digimon topic the wager you are both gonna agree on. You can wager Digivolution Items and cards but not Digimon.

*If in case you Digivolved your [R] Digimon to [C], you can still use its [R] Level in battling so do not worry. This goes for other forms except if you did not choose a [T] or [F] Digimon in the first place in the Digimon Registry, or won a Digimon in a Contest but do not have lower Levels, you cannot use it.
2. Go to this Forum and create yourselves a topic with the title of your match (eg. "[R] vs [C]" or anything you want just don't spam).
Property of Digimon Tamer Island
3. The creator of the topic will place the names of the Digimon including the Tamers plus the cards which you will be using for the battle.
You cannot change the cards after the battle has begun!
(eg. I am the creator of the topic so in the very first post, I will place/introduce "My Digimon (include art) and the cards we will be using")
^Nicknames of Digimon can be placed.
*You do not need to place a wager if you dont want to. Just remember to both agree on the wager and the loser of the match must give the wager to the winner. If in case the loser refuses to give the wager, please report it to us and we will ban that person.
4. After that, both Tamers should roll a 10-sided die 10 times on their first posts. The one with the higher dice roll will be the one who will attack first.

5. The opponent will then be next to attack. If in case offline, you MUST wait for them to be online and make their turn before you make yours.
It will always be alternate between you and your opponent. No one should make their move twice unless it is an effect of a card you activated.
If a wager is done and the opponent abandons the battle, they will be given a warning and must continue the battle. After 5 days and still off, they will be banned. In case of a vacation, they must inform their opponent before or in the middle of the match.
6. There are 4 options for you to do in your post:
-You should decide what to do, BEFORE hitting the "submit post" button otherwise it will be termed as cheating when caught.
a.) Attack Cost: 0 MP
b.) Defend (Heal MP) Cost: 0 MP
c.) Special attack Cost: 30 MP
d.) Recover (Heal HP) Cost: 30 MP
If you want to attack:
-Roll the corresponding number of 4 sided dice rolls on your attack. The chart is located below. The total will be immediately decreased from your opponent's Life points. This doesn't consume any MP.
If you want to Defend (Heal MP):
Roll the corresponding number of 4 sided dice rolls on your attack. The chart is located below. The total will be immediately added to your Digimon's MP.
Same rules apply.
If you want to Special Attack:
-Roll a 4 sided die but double the the dice you will be rolling.
for example, I have a [R] Digimon instead of me rolling a 4 sided die 3 times, I will be rolling a 4 sided die 6 TIMES.
HOWEVER, this will cost 30 MP regardless of the level.
If you want to Recover:
-it's the same rule as using a Special Attack.
Still roll a 4 sided die but double the the dice you will be rolling.
HOWEVER, instead of decreasing the total to the HP of your opponent, recover the HP of your Digimon instead.
This also costs 30 MP regardless of level.
7. In addition to attacking or healing on a single post, you can also activate a SUPPORT CARD on the same post.
These cards are the ones which will be consuming your MP.
sample card:
The amount which will be deducted on your MP is located on the LOWER RIGHT corner of the card. In this card, the amount which will be deducted on the MP is 10.
*You cannot use the same card again in the same battle unless you have more than 1 of that card.
*You can trade cards with a Tamer but it should be in the Digimon Card Cafe (Card Trade & Discussion Forum) for us to monitor easily.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until one Digimon is KO'd. You will be termed as the winner for that match if you Knock the opponent's HP into 0.
*Other questions? Ask in Jijimon House (Helpful Q & A Discussion Forum).
Regarding Cards:
Any Digimon can battle with the use of cards whether it is normal, limited, special or restricted.
1. Red cards are common. Basic cards in Tamer Island.
2. Blue cards are uncommon. Fewer than Red cards, most have greater effects than Red cards.
3. Gold cards are rare. Harder to obtain that Red and Blue cards. Most Gold cards have great effects for your Digimon in battles.
4. Green cards are luck cards. These cards need not be played in order to take effect but their effect activates only once when triggered like normal cards in battles.
5. White cards are support cards. These cards, like Green cards need not be played in order to take effect but their effect activates for the entire battle as long as the requirements are met.
6. Black cards are Forbidden cards. Can never be used in official Tournaments due to their strong effects.
*You will roll that number of 4 sided die when attacking depending on the level of your Digimon as stated by the chart above.
*Also, the MP of your Digimon is 10 times the dice roll and The HP of your Digimon is 20 times the dice roll which means:
Digimon Level Chart
*Attributes: Virus, Data and Vaccine have a special role in this battle system so if your Digimon has 2 Attributes in the digidex only the first one placed is considered to be its Attribute.
*This battle system does not apply the triangle rule where "Vaccine beats Virus", etc. The cards will be the only thing that will show an effect.
Card REMINDERS
*Read these Guidelines to understand card usage better.
*Read the Rulebook to understand battle terminology.
*When adding HP to a Digimon with a card which states "increase Max HP", add the required HP to both the current and Max HP. (also applies to MP)
*Cards which increase or decrease the "attack" of a Digimon does increase or decrease the Special Attack unless specified in the card.
*If card doesn't specify "Max HP/MP", then it is the "HP/MP" being referred to.
*Activating cards should be done once per turn and at the start of your turn. Attacking, Defending, Healing ends your turn.
*Green and White cards cannot be targeted by card effects that mention "cannot activate cards", (such as Infinity Tower, Digimon Emperor) as these cards are auto-activated.
A very detailed tutorial is below.
Happy Battling!
