# Battles (PvP)

A juicy source of fresh $PART? Your fellow Golemancers, of course...

In the early Alpha release, Battles are pretty straightforward.

* Pick an opponent from a list.
* Spend 1 Energy to attempt an attack.
* RNG (Random Number Generator) will determine whether you win or lose.
* RNG will also determine how much $PART you loot (or lose!).

Expect more intricate battle systems across PvP, PvE, Guilds, and Bosses in the future!
