Writing Battles are how you fight monsters in 4thewords. Pick a monster, open a file in the editor, and write. Your words deal damage, and the more you write, the harder you hit. Three kinds of battles: solo (write enough words to defeat a monster before time runs out), endurance (defend against a monster’s attacks and write until the timer expires), and co-op (team up with other Dust Warriors to defeat a shared monster).
