Combat is a mechanic in Brighter Shores in which several player characters or monsters fight. All factions have access to melee and ranged combat styles, with each class having a unique type of magic.

Special attacks are a feature of the combat system.

Reaching 0 hitpoints in combat will cause the player to 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.
