Inside the Chamber Room!

There are multiple types of chamber rooms, but the most common are 2 v 2 and 4 v 4. In your room, you'll be able to hang out with your team mates, discuss battle strategy and power ups, and more! And yes - you can password protect your chamber!
- Teammates - Your battle Allies! An X will appear in a slot if the position is not available for others to join.
- Fight Type - Free Fight means anyone can play or join to fight each other. League Fights are fights between leagues (and also how you gain glory!)
- Power Ups - Provided you have the gold, you can purchase some special power ups to use in combat, including a heal and an ice cube to freeze your opponent for a certain number of turns!
- Battle Info - Displays the turn duration and what area you'll be fighting in
- Team Options - Used to invite friends or to switch to another available team!
- Start - Click this kewl looking button to ready up for battle! Your teammates should click the button that says "Ready" before you can press Start.
A 4 v 4 room is essentially the same. You can see what that looks like here:

B. Fight Basics
![]()
Combat in DDTank is pretty straight forward: you either need to kill or knock your enemies off the map. Pretty easy - it just takes some time to learn how to practice aiming!
Make sure to check out POWER-UPS as they're cool, nifty things that will really make a difference in your attacks! Special power-ups are available in the chamber room before you enter combat to purchase with your gold. Those will be displayed on the BOTTOM three power ups on the fight screen. Additional power ups for purchase in the fight can be found on the RIGHT of the screen.
Power Ups: Can do tons of stuff, ranging from increasing your POW meter, giving you back HP, making you invisible, and increasing the number, amount, and power of your attacks, and more!
