In combat, melee attacks use the A button and Megashots use the Y button. Melee attacks can string into combos. Each of the rangers fight differently. Power Cards are collected through the game and can be activated with the touch screen for special attacks that uses a portion of the Card Gauge. Power Cards can also be used to get past certain obstacles. The other rangers can hop in for an attack with combos.
