# Gameplay (Diving) ### How to attack Clash of turtles focuses on a Match-3 playstyle whereby players must make matches of 3 or more of the same orbs in order to deal damage to enemies. The board consists of orbs of 5 attributes as well as heart orbs. Matching attributive orbs will deal damage to enemies while matching heart orbs will recover your turtle's HP. Each turn, players will have 3 moves to match as many orbs as possible. Matching turtle's attributive orb will deal more damage to enemies as compared to dissolving orbs that are not of player's turtle's attribute. Total damage dealt is calculated by the total number of orbs dissolved, type of orbs dissolved and combos achieved in the 3 turns. For enemies, they have a cooldown system (CD), whereby they will deal a certain amount of damage when they're CD reaches 0. For easier dive quests, enemies may start with a CD of 3/4, meaning players have 3/4 turns to kill the enemies before they attack. For tougher dive quests, enemies may have a CD of 1 and attack constantly, requiring players to match heart orbs to recover HP during their 3 match turns. ### Attribute Advantage Certain attributes are more superior than others and that can significantly change up the pace and style of the battle. Advantageous attributes deal 2x more damage while disadvantageous attributes deal 0.5x damage. (Attribute advantage only applies to the player's side.) Elemental Attribute advantage is as follows: Hydro > Pyro > Terra > Hydro Holy > Darkness > Holy ![](/files/nB1lIziPFMzoC6u194qC) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
