Elin:Strategy

The Strategy skill determines the damage your character deals when engaging in auto-combat by right-clicking enemies. Normally, damage is reduced when in auto-combat, but the Strategy skill restores your damage.

Moreover, while in auto-combat, you will consume stamina to avoid fatal injuries. You can use this to safely gauge the strength of a new opponent.

The player can choose how they act in auto-combat in the Strategy tab of their character sheet. (Press V, then click 'Strategy' in the lower-right of the window). The auto-combat AI profiles include:

• Archer (Uses ranged attacks)
• Fighter (Uses melee attacks)
• Tank (Uses the Taunt ability)
• Healer (Casts healing spells)
• Mage (Casts offensive spells)
• Hexer (Casts debuff spells)
• Summoner (Casts summoning spells)
• Predator (?)
• Paladin (Uses melee attacks, while casting buff spells)

The player can further refine their auto-combat behavior with the Checkboxes:

• Use items and abilities in the hotbar
• Use abilities not in the hot bar
• Use only favorite abilities

Allies' strategy can be changed through Gene Engineering with Brain Cell genes.
