H31 Games: Reading Fishing Targets and Features

Read target and feature labels separately

FA CHAI names a Monkey King target and a Dragon Ball Battle feature in its Monkey King Fishing entry. A target is a named object within the title; a feature is a separately named game element. The title listing establishes those names, but it does not provide a capture probability, guaranteed prize, or rule that every hit awards credits.

Calculate attempt cost first

When a rule screen charges per shot, keep each shot-value group separate. In an illustrative sequence, three shots at two credits cost six, then five shots at three credits cost fifteen. The total is 21 credits, not eight shots multiplied by the final price. These values explain accounting, not Monkey King Fishing prices or capture rates.

Separate a visual hit from a credited award

A visual hit, a recorded capture and an amount credited to the balance may be separate events. In the 21-credit example, a total credited return of 18 leaves a net loss of three. An award message can therefore appear during a losing sequence. Use the recorded deduction and credit, rather than the animation, to reconcile the result.

Reconcile the closing balance

If the example begins with 60 credits and no money moves in or out, the closing balance is 60 − 21 + 18 = 57. If ten more credits are added from outside during the session, the closing balance becomes 67, but the game result is still minus three. Separate transfers from game returns so that a top-up is not counted as a win.
