Combat


Combat mode

This is the mode you use when attacking enemies. Slide your stylus across all three squares horizontally or diagonally to perform a standard attack. If a combo point is available, follow the pattern to execute a combo attack.

Melee skill

Melee skill increases your chance to hit with a melee attack.

Strength attribute

Strength determines your Health and the power of your attacks.

Dexterity attribute

Dexterity determines your Stamina and allows you to regenerate Health faster.

Stamina bar

The stamina bar shows your current fighting capacity. Each time you attack, your Stamina decreases. If the bar is empty, you can’t perform standard weapon attacks anymore. Stamina regenerates slowly over time, but you can also drink a stamina potion.

Combo points

You gain combo points from your standard weapon attacks that you can use for combo attacks. The number of available combo points increases with your Melee skill level. Combo attacks are different for each weapon type and don’t require Stamina.
