===Phinisher Points===
===Phinisher points===
Phinisher Points is an internal value which measures the player's progress to obtaining their Phinisher. Each Phighter's Phinisher requires a sufficient amount of Phinisher points to use. The amount of Phinisher points needed differs between each Phighter, with higher values requiring more time. However, the numbers for gaining Phinisher points are same across the board.

Phinisher points has several interactions:
* Switching Phighters transfers the player's current Phinisher points to that character.
* Switching Phighters transfers the player's current Phinisher points to that character.
** e.g. A Rocket that currently has 75/75 Phinisher points switches to Medkit. The Medkit starts with 75/150 Phinisher points.
** e.g. A Rocket that currently has 75/75 Phinisher points switches to Medkit. The Medkit starts with 75/150 Phinisher points.
* Furthermore, the player can still gain Phinisher points even if the player has more than sufficient amounts to use their Phinisher. Having excess Phinisher points affects the class-switch interaction above this dotpoint.
* Furthermore, the player will continue to gain Phinisher points even if they have more than the sufficient amount to use their Phinisher. Having excess Phinisher points affects the class-switch interaction above this bullet point.
** e.g. A Sword with 100/75 Phinisher points switches to Medkit. The Medkit starts with 100/150 Phinisher points.

* Phinisher points passively generate during the map and gamemode intro screen, allowing players to start the game with 15-25% to their Phinisher (depending on phighter). Whether this is an intended interaction is yet to be determined.
