What are examples of combat systems used in visual novels?

I have recently finished my first game and I am looking towards a visual novel for my next game. I will use an actual game development engine, not renpy. So I am not limited to any particular 2d or 3d mechanic.

And I am thinking what interesting mechanics to add to my game. I have come with idea with an card minigame (like in ff8). Also a combat system is a nice idea. Maybe Pokemon like combat system, like on GBA.

You can use Match 3 puzzle system as combat mechanic.

Theres also the typical 1v1 character fighting style with option like attack/walk(left/right)/drink potions/use ability kinda like swords and sandals or FFXII/pokemon but youd need to have character levelling up systems and loot and buyable equipment
