'''Combat''' is a mechanic in [[Brighter Shores]] in which several [[player character]]s or [[monsters]] fight.

Combat [[profession]]s are divided per [[episode]]. All [[factions]] have access to [[melee]] and [[ranged]] combat styles, with each class having a unique type of [[magic]]. Players can equip [[weapon]]s and [[armour]] to make themselves stronger, and use [[potion]]s to heal themselves.

[[Special attacks]] intended to be a feature of the combat system, but were not yet released with Early Access launch.

Killing a monster rewards [[experience]]. Otherwise, reaching 0 hitpoints in combat will cause the player to [[death|die]] and respawn in the [[Hopeport]] infirmary. Other than lost time and being forcibly moved to the respawn point, there appear to be no other consequences for reaching 0 hitpoints.
