# BATTLE STRATEGIES

Players can set a strategy for each one of their Toyos prior to the battles. 

Battles are divided into 3 stages of strategy: early, mid and late.

Players give their Toyos directions on how to react and what to do in each stage, for example: keep defensive at the early stage, go full speed at mid and use the most powerful cyber-attacks at the late stage.

Each strategy *boosts\** some stats and reduces others. So think carefully! Players also select which cyber-attacks Toyos shall use in each stage.
