Commands

Help for a specific command can be retrieved via /help <command>. Syntax for these commands might be slightly different due to limitations of Discord, you can see the usage for those commands by typing / in a chat with the bot. For example typing /char will show the commands that start with char like this. Most commands support autocomplete when using the slash command version.

Every reply to commands will include an ❌ delete button, users can click this button to remove the bot post. This allows users to clean up in case something wasn't relevant to the conversation/reduce spam.

To improve usability, most commands that search stuff are fuzzy search and provide autocomplete in slash version when applicable. This means you can make a typo, or shorten the heck out of their names. (As of time of writing, glad matches Gladiator's Finale, CW matches Crimson Witch of Flames, amus matches Amos' Bow)
