Combat

Combat UI

Combat is a game-play mechanic in which you fight enemies located within increasingly more difficult zones. A beginner's guide on combat can be found on the wiki page Combat Guide (outdated).

Skills

There are six skills to level in combat: Constitution, Attack, Strength, Defense, Magic and Range.

Constitution

Constitution is the skill that determines your maximum hit points. At level 1 you have a maximum of 30 hit points.

You gain Constitution experience when an enemy damages them. How much experience you receive is determined with the following formula:

$\max(1,\lfloor {\frac {\text{damage}}{50}}+{\frac {\text{mitigated}}{25}}\rfloor )$

Attack

Attack determines your accuracy and your overall effectiveness when dealing damage. Attack experience is gained by dealing any form of damage.

Defense

Defense determines your defenses and your overall effectiveness at mitigating and dodging damage. Defense experience is gained by mitigating damage from enemies. How much experience is gained is determined with the following forumula:

$\max(1,\lfloor {\frac {\text{damage}}{25}}+{\frac {\text{mitigated}}{10}}\rfloor )$

If you dodge an attack, the enemy's attack level is used as mitigated damage, with damage dealt as 0.

Strength

Strength determines your effectiveness when using melee skills. Strength experience is obtained when dealing damage with the associated skills.

Magic

Magic determines your effectiveness when using magic skills. Magic experience is obtained when dealing damage with the associated skills.

Range

Range determines your effectiveness when using range skills. Ranged experience is obtained when dealing damage with the associated skills.

Equipment Statistics

Equipment UI

Not only do your skills determine how effective you are in combat, your equipment does too. In order to make effective loadouts, you need to know how your equipment's statistics work.

Offensive Statistics

Strength

(STR) Your melee offense stat. This directly translates to your melee damage output.

Dexterity

(DEX) Your ranged offense stat. This directly translates to your ranged damage output.

Intelligence

(INT) Your magic offense stat. This directly translates to your magic damage output.

Critical Hit Chance

(Crit Chance) This is the chance that your attack hits critically every time you land a hit on your enemy.

Critical Hit Multiplier

(Crit Mult) This is the value that your damage will be increased by if you land a critical hit on your enemy.

Example: Having a Crit Chance of 30% and a Crit Mult of 50% means that your maximum damage is increased 30% of the time by 50%.

Accuracy

(ACC) Your accuracy is what decides your hit chance against the enemy. There are several different types of accuracy, where the types of abilities you use will be affected by those.

Example: Using the ability 'Fire Ball' will make use of Magic Accuracy and Fire Accuracy.

Defensive Statistics

Protection

(PROTECTION) This is your physical damage reduction. Any melee or ranged damage that an enemy hits you with will be reduced using this value.

Resistance

(RESISTANCE) This is your magic damage reduction. Any magic damage that an enemy hits you with will be reduced using this value.

Agility

(AGILITY) This value is used to calculate your dodge chance. The higher this value is, the less likely it is that an enemy will be able to hit you.

Stamina

(STAMINA) This value determines a bonus to your maximum hit points.

Affinities

There are four combat styles you can choose from:

• Melee: Make use of melee weapons, such as scimitars and daggers.
• Magic: Make use of magic weapons, such as staffs and wands.
• Ranged: Makes use of ranged weapons, such as longbows and crossbows.
• Hybrid: Make use of two or more of the above skills with weapons that provide hybrid statistics, such as Shapeless Scythe, providing both STR and INT.

Affinities are used in calculating your effectiveness for each subclass of combat, both for offense and defense. Affinities are added together from item to item.

For example, an Ancient Fire Amulet provides +15% Fire affinity, which would be added with the +35% fire affinity given by the Mantle of Flame to give a total fire affinity of +50%.

There are twelve affinities:

• Melee
• Magic
• Range
• Piercing
• Blunt
• Slashing
• Fire
• Ice
• Nature
• Chaos
• Poison
• Lightning

Enchantments

Abilities

You can use abilities to attack, defend, heal, or cause other effects in battle.

When on the combat screen before entering combat, there is a box filled with abilities that you can choose to use. You must have an auto-style ability that has no cooldown. You can then add other abilities.

These abilities can be item-specific or they can be universal abilities. Item specific abilities come with items you may have equipped. For example, epuipping Defender's Pendant gives the Bulwark ability.

Universal abilities are abilities you can always use, no matter what. You can learn universal abilities by obtaining and consuming Ability Books, which drop in dungeons. For example, obtaining and consuming the Invisibility ability book, will make this ability always available.

The maximum number of abilities you can have in your ability rotation can be increased by increasing your total number of combat levels.

Ability Rotation

Despite the name you will not actually rotate through the chosen abilities in order. Instead it is treated as a priority list. The first ability that's not on cooldown will be used. The rotation allows you to heavily customize your combat experience, with millions of different ability loadouts you can create.

Healing and Death

Combat Food UI

Healing

When you're in combat you'll undoubtedtly get hit by enemies and receive damage. If you're hurt, there are several ways you can be healed.

A very common way to heal yourself is by eating food. Although you can eat raw ingredients, it's recommended you eat cooked food as it heals you much more than the raw ingrients will.

You can bring your food in a special Combat Food inventory you can find under the Equipment tab. Each slot can hold one food item, not a stack of food items, so you can have up to 28 food items ready to eat.

You can also use certain abilities to heal yourself, or an ally such as Bandage Friendly (Ability Book) or Forest's Embrace (Sylvan Staff).

Some enchantments also allow you to heal yourself, such as Healing, Overhealing, or Soul Stealing.

Death

Should your remaining hit points reach 0, death occurs. When it does, a respawn timer starts and you cannot continue to battle before this timer runs out and the difficulty of the area you're in will be reset to 0.

If you're in a dungeon, you'll have to hope the remaining party members can finish the job, otherwise the dungeon run ends uncompleted.

Locations

You can fight enemies in combat zones, dungeons, or during elite challenges.

Difficulty

Each combat area has a difficulty that you can set, the default is 0 for every area.

A more difficult area means a greater challenge to stay alive, but also an increased chance to receive more and better loot. You can increase this by setting the difficulty before you enter the combat zone, or by augmenting your dungeon key or elite challenge scrolls.

Zones

Zones are areas that provide you with an endless stream of enemies which you will fight in waves. Every 50 waves, the difficulty of the area you're in goes up by 1. At the same time, the loadout associated to that area is reloaded, which means that if you have food in your loadout, your Combat Food inventory will be refilled when the difficulty goes up.

Dungeons

Dungeons are instances in which a group of players can battle the monsters in it. At the end of the dungeon, there's an end boss, and a cache with loot if the end boss is defeated.

To enter a dungeon, you need a key. These keys can be crafted. Upgrading the key by Augmenting it will make the dungeon more challenging and the loot more interesting.

Elite Challenges

Elite challenges are challenging instanced experiences in regular combat zones.

To enter such a challenge you need an Elite Scroll. These scrolls drop during combat in regular zones and can be found in chests.

Augmenting scrolls will increase the challenge and the amount of loot gained from it. Completing a challenge with an augmented scroll will also give you a permanent Treasure Hunter buff for that zone.

(TH means the Treasure Hunter buff)

* Chaos Wastes is a combat zone balanced for group combat, allowing a maximum of two players in a party to fight alongside each other. Stats differ for one and two players.

Special combat areas include the Foraging zone Living Forest, and the Mining zone Deep Pit, where you may randomly encounter Spriggans or Greater Demons respectively. Players may not run from these encounters, and failing results in a 15-minute lockout timer before they can access that zone again.

Combat Experience

Players gain combat skill experience when dealing damage; 2 experience in the selected combat skill and 1 experience in Constitution per damage dealt. When fighting in a balanced stance, each skill gains 2/3 of an experience per point of damage. Fractions of experience are not shown but are kept so a balanced stance does not gain or lose experience through rounding.

Death

Death occurs when a player's health reaches zero. The preceding action will be cancelled and the player returns to idling.

Health slowly regenerates on its own and can be modified with the Scroll of Healing. Dying will not result in the loss of exp/items/gold etc.

Skills

Combat skills
	Constitution	Constitution in addition to the Scroll of Fortitude is the skill that determines a player's maximum hitpoints (HP). The amount of health left can be seen next to the heart icon in the combat page. Food can restore health inside or outside of battle, and can provide buffs to combat for a short time. Default auto-eat will only trigger when the missing HP is less than 3/2 the food healing amount. Change auto-eat to percent of HP remaining in settings for high healing food if max HP is too low to trigger the default setting.
	Attack	Attack determines a player's hit chance, along with the players accuracy bonus.
	Strength	Strength contributes to your maximum damage per hit, along with the players melee strength bonus.
	Defense	Defense determines a players dodge chance.

Mastery levels have no effect on combat.

Stats

There are various stats that can affect combat. These stats are determined by a player's equipment (armor and weapon), although each point in a player's level contributes more to stats than equipment.

Accuracy

Accuracy is determined from a combination of stats from equipment and attack level which is used to determine hit chance.

The formula for accuracy is $Accuracy=AttackLevel*(AccuracyBonus+64)$

Keep in mind that the hit chance is also determined by an enemy's defense toward your attack type.

The only way to deal 0 damage is by missing the target, all accurate hits will deal at least 1 damage. The Demon Skin buff can decrease a damage to 0.

Strength

Strength from equipment determines the maximum damage you can deal along with strength level. The damage you deal can also be affected by enchantments such as Scroll of Critical Strike, Scroll of Patience, and Scroll of Recklessness. Keep in mind that patience and recklessness adds to both the minimum and maximum damage while strength only adds to the maximum damage.

Max hit can be calculated with the following formula:

$MaxHit={\Biggl \lfloor }0.5+{\frac {(StrengthLevel+8)\times (StrengthBonus+64)}{640}}{\Biggr \rfloor }$

Max hit from a hard-hitting monster can only be decreased with the Scroll of Protection and/or the Demon Skin buff.

Defense

Defense from equipment and bonuses determine the dodge rate along with defense level. Keep in mind that dodge chance is also determined by enemy's attack and your defense to their attack type.

The formula for defense is $Defense=DefenseLevel*(DefenseBonus+64)$ where you use the corresponding defense bonus for whatever type of attack you are defending from (ex. Stab).

Attack Type

There are three attack types (slash, stab, crush) which is determined by the weapon you use (bare hands are considered crush). Attack type determines the type of defense the enemy uses. This can be important since some enemies are weak to one type of attack, making it easier to hit if that type of attack is used. E.g. all giants are weak to crush, making battleaxes effective weapons to use.

Hit Chance

If Accuracy > Defense:

$HitChance=1-0.5*{\frac {Defense}{Accuracy}}$

Else:

$HitChance=0.5*{\frac {Accuracy}{Defense}}$

Attack Speed

Attack speed is a stat that determines the amount of time between attacks. The attack speed differs with every weapon. Bare fists have an attack speed of 2.4 seconds.

The Scroll of Patience increases damage based on how slow the weapon hits.

Food Buffs

Image	Enchantment	Effect
	Nimble	Increases defense for a short time. Each level of Nimble increases defense by around 10%. Eating food with spider legs as an ingredient will grant this buff; a popular recipe is 5 spider legs.
	Demon Skin	Reduces all damage taken in combat by the level of the demon skin. This only affects combat, so if consumed while out of combat there will be no effect. If you stop fighting, the buff disappears. It can be created by cooking food with Ichor; an example is 4 apples and 1 Ichor. Stacks are not consumed if the monster hits a 0.
