Adding News Articles

File Structure

News articles are stored as Markdown files in the src/content/news directory.

Each article should be named with a URL-friendly slug, for example: tournament-announcement.md

Frontmatter

Each news article requires frontmatter at the top of the file with the following fields:

---
id: "unique-article-id" # preferably matches the file name
title: "Your Article Title"
excerpt: "A brief summary of the article (shown in previews)"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
author: "Your Name"
category: "Tournament" # Options: "Expansion", "Tournament", "Balance", "Community", "Feature"
image: "/path/to/image.jpg" # Optional: Featured image
tags: ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"] # Related tags
---

After the frontmatter, write your article content using Markdown syntax.

Adding Game Mechanics

File Structure

Game mechanics are stored in the src/content/mechanics directory.

Each mechanic should have its own directory, for example: src/content/mechanics/empower/

Inside each mechanic directory, create three files:

  • overview.md - General description of the mechanic
  • rules.md - Detailed rules and edge cases
  • examples.md - Examples of the mechanic in action

Frontmatter

Each mechanic file requires frontmatter at the top with the following fields:

---
id: "mechanic-id"
name: "Mechanic Name"
description: "Brief description of the mechanic"
icon: "icon-name" # Optional: Icon to display
author: "Your Name"
authorAvatar: "/path/to/avatar.png" # Optional
---

After the frontmatter, write your content using Markdown syntax.

Example Mechanic

Here's an example of an overview.md file:

---
id: "chain-attack"
name: "Chain Attack System"
description: "Increase damage with consecutive attacks"
icon: "chain"
author: "Mechanic Expert"
authorAvatar: "/avatars/expert.png"
---

### Chain Attack

Chain Attack is a core mechanic for Linie that rewards consecutive attacks.

There are 2 ways to build Chain stacks:

- After Linie uses an attack, gain 1 Chain stack.
- Chain stacks increase the damage of all attacks by 7% per stack.
- When Linie does not attack in a turn, reset the count to 0.

This mechanic encourages aggressive play and creates a risk/reward dynamic where players must decide between continuing their chain or using utility cards.

Adding Combat Strategies

File Structure

Combat strategies are stored as Markdown files in the src/content/strategies directory.

Each strategy should be named with a URL-friendly slug, for example: frieren-vs-stark.md

Frontmatter

Each combat strategy requires frontmatter at the top of the file with the following fields:

---
title: "Strategy Title"
character: "Frieren" # The character this strategy is for
author: "Your Name"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
tags: ["beginner", "matchup", "counter"] # Related tags
---

After the frontmatter, write your strategy content using Markdown syntax.

Example Strategy

---
title: "Frieren vs Stark: Analysis Stacking Guide"
character: "Frieren"
author: "Strategy Expert"
date: "2025-05-15"
tags: ["matchup", "advanced", "analysis"]

# Frieren vs Stark: Analysis Stacking Guide

This guide covers how to effectively play Frieren against Stark by maximizing your Analysis stacks.

## Key Strategy

When facing Stark, your goal is to build Analysis stacks while avoiding his high-damage attacks. Stark's moves often require Resolve stacks, which gives you windows of opportunity.

### Early Game (Turns 1-3)

1. Focus on using **Barrier Magic Analysis** and **Demon Magic Analysis** to build Analysis stacks
2. Save your **Ordinary Defensive Magic** for when Stark has 2+ Resolve stacks
3. Avoid using offensive spells until you have at least 8 Analysis stacks

### Mid Game (Turns 4-7)

1. If Stark has used **Lightning Strike** or **Eisen's Axe Cleave**, he'll be low on Resolve
2. This is your opportunity to use **Judradjim** with your accumulated Analysis stacks
3. Continue building Analysis with utility cards when possible

### Late Game (Turns 8+)

1. Save **The Height of Magic** for when Stark is below 40 HP
2. Use **Field of Flowers** to sustain yourself if you're below 50 HP
3. If you're below 25 HP, consider using **The Height of Magic** as a finisher

## Card Priority

1. **Barrier Magic Analysis** - Build stacks while reducing Stark's defense
2. **Ordinary Defensive Magic** - Save for Stark's high-damage turns
3. **Judradjim** - Your main damage dealer with 8+ Analysis stacks
4. **The Height of Magic** - Finisher move

Remember that Stark's **Fear Brought Me This Far** becomes stronger when he's below 60 HP, so try to either finish him quickly or keep him above that threshold.
