The Strategy skill determines the damage your character deals when engaging in auto-combat by right-clicking enemies. During auto-combat the damage you take from enemies is reduced slightly according to your strategy skill.

Auto-Combat

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.

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.
