# Vandal Rules, section 6

Part of https://playvandal.com/rules.txt.

## 6. Fight with creatures

An eligible creature attacks an enemy creature or hero. When two creatures fight, each deals damage equal to its Attack to the other. Quickstrike changes the order of combat damage. A hero takes the attack damage without attacking back.

A creature normally attacks once per turn. Overdrive and Overclock increase this limit. Barrier, Decoy, Ghosted, Offline and other effects can restrict legal targets. Attacking also spends the creature's activation charge.

Damage remains on a creature. At a settle point, a creature with zero Health or less dies. Its death effects resolve according to its text. Plating prevents the first damage it would take and is then removed.
