Elin:Combat

Some of the text on this page is from the Beta build of the game.

This page contains detailed specifications for Skills and systems related to combat.

For equipment specifications, see the Equipment page.

Auto Combat

If you move the cursor over the target and select “Auto” on the right click, the combat will be performed automatically.

During auto combat, the damage you take from enemies is reduced slightly according to your strategy skill. Also, when your stamina is above a certain level, you can spend a certain amount of stamina to withstand deadly attacks during combat.

You can set detailed combat type and autocombat settings from the “Strategy” tab on the character sheet.

Combat Type (AI)

The combat type can be applied to the player's autocombat style, and the Monster's behavior patterns also refer to it.

Combat types that fight with magic use remote weapons when they are short on MP.

Combat Type (Playable)

Type	Pattern
Disable	Disable Auto Combat
Archer	Fights with ranged weapons. Priority is given to ranged weapons even when adjacent to the enemy.
Warrior	Uses taunt first, then fights with melee weapons.
Tank	First use Taunt, Sacred Shield, and Holy Veil, then fight with melee weapons.
Healer	Use various supportive spells at first, then attack with offensive spells. Attacks are less frequent as priority is given to support.
Wizard	Fights with offensive spells.
Hexer	Uses various kinds of interference spells on the enemy at first, then fights with attack spells.
Summoner	Uses summoning spells first, and then fights with offensive spells.
Predator	The AI assigned to many NPCs that do not have any special behaviors. All behaviors are used in roughly equal proportions.

The following combat types are used only for NPC action patterns and cannot be used for player autocombat.

Critical

Criticals occur after the hit decision. Therefore, the critical hit rate also depends on the enemy's evasion rate.

The critical rate increases if the target is asleep or in a dim, and the rate can also be increased with the executioner's feat by meeting the requirements.

A critical hit will deal a max roll (+25% if martial)

Riding and Host

See also Riding and Symbiosis for more information.

Riding is an ability where the player rides a pet (henceforth referred to as a horse) and the player's speed becomes the same as that of the horse.

While riding, the horse takes some penalty to its speed, but this can be reduced by improving the riding skill. Monsters have their own aptitude for riding, and those suitable for riding receive less penalty, while those unsuitable for riding, such as metals and catsisters, receive significant penalties and cannot be used properly as horses.

See Bestiary for the suitability of each monster for riding.

Host is the opposite of riding, and allows the player to place a pet (hereinafter referred to as a parasite) on top of the player. The speed of the parasite will be the same as the player's. Even if both riding and Host are performed at the same time, the referenced value will refer to the original speed before the player rode the parasite.

In the beginning, the parasite will not be able to coordinate well with the parasite, and the parasite that was unable to act will often call out abuse, but the situation will improve as the symbiosis skill level is increased.

The horse/parasite will shoulder the damage that flies at the player. In addition, the horse/parasite does not die even if its HP reaches zero, but stays in a stunned state, allowing the player to participate in the battle again once its HP is restored.

However, while the horse is stunned, it loses its speed bonus from riding.

The horse/parasite is treated as being on the same square as the player, and spells that targets a single person will also benefit/damage everyone.

In addition, both the player and the horse/parasite will suffer a hit penalty when riding or parasitizing, but this can be mitigated by raising the skill level of each.
