Attack Styles?

Featured Replies

If I'm fighting a quest monster or some monster that is many levels higher than me, which is the best attack style to use (accurate, aggressive, or defensive)?

It really doesn't matter. The attack styles (crush,slash,stab,ect) matters, but not attack, str, controlled, or def. (It does, but barely.)

 

 

 

Weapon, and monster?

I guess I was sort of talking about in general. Maybe once I come across a specific case I'll ask.

Very sorry about highjacking this thread, but how do you change your preferred attack style? Mine seems to be str. Is it what you were using befoe you logged out?

Click on the crossed swords icon(i think that's what it was, don't have the game open at the moment), to see the window to choose your attack style.

 

 

 

I usually use the aggressive option if it's available in situations where the XP does not really matter, beacuase I remember hearing from somewhere that it adds 1 or 2 damage to your max hit, but I never cared enough to extensively test it.

 

 

 

If aggressive is not an option, then I use accurate, because... you do less damage in defense mode.

 

 

 

Didn't they use to explain this on Tutorial island? haven't been there for a while...

Yes, The Agressive attack style does make your max hit increase.

It'll go to the one you were using when you logged out, or try to match it as best as possible.

I would like to get the most difficult 99 in the game to accomplish. which is woodcutting.
because I had a drunken night in philadelphia and sprayed a fire extinguiser, evacuated a 7 story hotel on the philly stadium, spent the night in jail.. then got on level 2 prob & have to pay 50 a month because I have a job. It's their way of collecting more money out of me.

+3 str bonus for str

 

+1 for controlled

Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again

strength style always makes ur max hit higher.

 

 

 

sometimes it depends on the monster and its weaknesses.

use strength...

The sausage man always says:"you can pound my schnitzel, but u cant beat my meat"

 

 

"i worked with the real sausage man"

use strength...

 

 

 

Why? Str increases str by 3, accurate by 3 attack, def by 3 def, controlled increases 1 to all.

 

 

 

So if you hit the monster less then 50% of the time, use accurate. Otherwise use str. Don't bother with controlled or defence; food invalidates it.

use strength...

 

 

 

Why? Str increases str by 3, accurate by 3 attack, def by 3 def, controlled increases 1 to all.

 

 

 

So if you hit the monster less then 50% of the time, use accurate. Otherwise use str. Don't bother with controlled or defence; food invalidates it.

 

 

 

I wouldn't use the number 50%. You have to calculate in your max, accuracy, ect.
