Battle

From Linkrealms

Fighting in Linkrealms is accomplished either by being attacked by a monster, which will cause your character to attempt to automatically defend him/herself, or by targeting another creature by pressing the Attack Button (this button is on the right side of the Linkrealms screen, second from the top, if you are holding a weapon) which brings up a red target cursor, then clicking on the creature you intend to attack. The creature in question must be within range of your weapon. The player and monster then square off and trade blows. It is vital to have Heals (such as Tomato Juice, or at least Tomatos, in an open inventory to eat or drink during the battle to stay alive.

It is recommend that you start with Snails or Farm Animals like Cows or Sheep. Then move on to small monsters like Ghosts and Zombies.

Fighting increases the characters Strength and Agility. The skill related to the weapon you are holding during the fight, will be increased also.

Battle Tactics like Parry and Weak Link (Available on the Skull And Crossbones button below the weapon button if the weapon is capable of it) should be used whenever possible during a fight, in order to build up Battle Tactics skill as well. Parry will fully block the damage of one enemy strike.

Stamina regenerates slowly, faster if using the "Invigorate" skill, that requires the character to stand still, but can be used while attacking, until you get hit.

It is practical to leave "Parry" enabled when crossing realm boundaries into Realms which may have monsters, so that if you walk right into a big one, you can survive long enough to make a safe escape. Using the Simple Sword or Bone Club until you gained over 750 exp (level 7) or better yet 1000 exp (level 10) in your Battle Tactic skill.
