The answer in 30 seconds

Energy pays Most skills cost Energy, and every Jini holds 10 at most.

In gameMany skills cost energy to cast. The number in the top-left corner of a skill icon shows the energy cost.
Rest to refill Rest gives back 5; nothing comes back after the battle.

In gameKeep in mind that energy does not recover automatically after battle, so be strategic!
Three kinds Attack, Status and Defend: a counter beats the matching kind.

In gameJini skills fall into three camps: Attack, Status, and Defend.
Switching wipes A switch costs your turn and clears buffs and debuffs, not marks.

In gameSwitching out a Jini instantly wipes away any buffs or debuffs they have.
The ground counts Some Jinies like or avoid the arena: Speed moves by up to 50.

Skill Power

The number in the bottom-right corner is raw power; the class matchup decides the rest.

Countering Skills

Every skill belongs to one kind; a counter skill reads the kind your opponent picks.

Counter: Defense 28 skills

Priority 4 skills act first with Priority +1, 3 act last with Priority −1.

Status Skills

A switch clears buffs and debuffs; a mark follows your lineup to the next Jini.

Poison
Deals Poison-class damage equal to 3% of Health at the end of the turn. (Poison-class Jinies are immune to this effect.)
Burn
Deals Fire-class damage equal to 2% of Health at the end of the turn and reduces stacks by 50%.
Freeze
