Combat is a mechanic in Brighter Shores in which several player characters or monsters fight.

Combat professions 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 weapons and armor to make themselves stronger, and use potions 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 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.
