# Design Action Combat

Treat combat as explicit state machines with visible, testable timing rather than animation-driven guesses.

## Specify every combat verb

For each player or enemy action, define: startup, active window, recovery, cancellation rules, resource cost, contact shape, damage/posture outcome, cooldown, and feedback. Make telegraph, danger, contact, and recovery readable at normal camera distance.

## Use authoritative outcomes

- Drive hits, blocks, parries, and interrupts from authoritative collision/contact events.
- Require direction, range, phase, and state validity before resolving an outcome.
- Apply each contact once using stable action and target identifiers.
- Keep visuals downstream of resolved simulation events.
