Died for the first time in-combat in Deltarune and it was to none other than puppet-god-secret-miniboss Spamton G. Spamton.

As a matter of terminology, "in battle" is a mostly obsolete/archaic phrase.

The modern term is "in combat."

You will hear brass refer to events happening "on the battlefield" but it's usually in the poetic sense.

More often they simply say "in the field" unless referring specifically to active conflict.

Other terms used rather than "battle" include the following, but please keep in mind most of these terms are very specific to the circumstances in which they would be used: engagement, fight (firefight), combat, conflict, assault, attack, strike, raid, etc.

Honestly the list goes on, and the terms only get more hyper-specific. There's a term for EVERYTHING in the military, in the field or otherwise.

Watching people argue (and the movies lowkey imply it but w/e) that Sectumsempra is like...Bad Terrible Impure Dark Magic™ and evil and shit when its an offensive spell objectively no different than anything The Heroes use without any dramatic internal conflict is so absurd its comical
