Though the mechanics differ depending on the game, a chance encounter typically happens when the player takes the enemy by surprise. This can occur at random or if the player successfully strikes the enemy on the field, usually through a sword slash or some other kind of attack.
When the player begins a battle through a chance encounter, they are oftentimes given a free turn during which the enemy is unable to act, allowing the party to take action uninterrupted.
