1) The turn player selects a pawn as their attacker

2) The turn player selects a target in range

3) The attacker selects a die

4) The defender selects a die

5) Both players roll the dice simultaneously

6) Re-roll phase

7) The player who rolled the highest wins the battle. The losing pawn is defeated, and the attacking pawn exhausts.

8) The losing player adjust their formation.

Attacking and Defending
Attacking and defending in Edge each has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of Attacking are that you can choose which pawn to use, and which pawn to attack. This will allow you to pressure your opponents formation, so you can make the optimal situation for yourself. Also, some of the most powerful abilities in the game are marked with the attack-ability icon.

The advantages of Defending is that you have to select your die second. That means that you can overbid your opponent when they attack.
