Damage-dealing moves in DOA come in three forms: [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Strikes[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]Throws[/COLOR] and [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Holds[/COLOR]. These three types of moves have a rock-paper-scissors type relationship: Strikes beat throws, throws beat holds, and holds beat strikes.

Throws cannot connect during the startup of a strike.*
Striking a throwing opponent will result in a high counter state, increasing damage to 150%.

Some strikes when held will only cause the defender to move to the side instead of activating their hold animation. This is known as a Divert Hold.

*Certain throws bypass this rule and are known as Catch Throws. Jann Lee's :6::F+P: and Tina's :4::6::F+P: are examples of catch throws.
