In this diagram (shown by animals because why not) it shows how different battle strategy’s can lead to different outcomes. In a war, this would not apply. But, this is a theoretical thing thats similar to the elemental circle, ( water beats fire, fire beats grass, and grass beats water) Because sly (sneaky) beats shield (defense) and shield beats attack (attack) and attack beats sly (sneaky again)
I made this based off of an aspect in a game that will go unnamed for copyright reasons. (I no wants to gets sued)
