Monster : Axe

[Combat in Atlantica]

When you get your turn, you can act by choosing one of the following options: attack, search, guard, move, wait or magic.

Attack deals physical damage to the enemy.

Search gets you items by searching the dead. Sometimes you can't get any treasure, though.

Guard blocks against enemies' attacks and decreases damage by a certain amount.

Move changes a mercenary's position in your formation.

Wait causes a mercenary to do nothing. Acting power isn't wasted.

Magic causes the mercenary to use a spell they know. You can learn one magic spell per upgrade. The highest magic level is between 40 - 70 depending on the magic and upgrade status.

Turn Time Limit Both you and the enemy get one turn each to attack. The time limit per turn is 30 seconds. For PVP, the number of operative mercenaries is increased by one at each turn. The first player can use one mercenary, the next player gets two, then the first player gets three. A maximum of 5 mercenaries can act each turn.

[Moving Mercenaries]

When a mercenary or character's position is a disadvantage during battle, or when you try to change the battle array of your mercenaries for strategy, then you can change mercenary's position.

1.During Battle On the battle menu at the right side on the bottom, if you click the move button(shortcut [D]), and move to the desired position, the mercenary will move to that position. Mercenaries' action power is consumed when they change positions.

2. Outside of Battle You can select [Formation] from the [My Info] menu at the top of the screen. Click the mercenary and then click the position that you want it to move to. It will then move to that position.

[About Action Power]

Action Power is the mercenary's acting ability.
Generally, each turn recovers 25-150 action power depending on a mercenary's class.

In battle, action power is consumed with each action taken.

1) Attack: - 100 Action Power
2) Search: - 50 Action Power
3) Guard: - 50 Action Power
4) Move: - 50 Action Power
5) Wait: - No Action Power
6) Magic: - 50 Action Power and above (depends on the magic skill).

A mercenary must have 100 action power for you to choose any action to perform.
Magic also requires 100 action power to start but the amount subtracted is dependent on the magic skill and it's level.

When your action power is negative, you must recover 100 action power in order to move again.

[Magic]

Magic is the most distinctive trait that separates different mercenaries.
You can use magic by right-clicking on the enemy during battle or by clicking the magic button in the battle menu.

The system only applies when battles are won.

The number of victories left is shown through the icon on the right side of the screen.
You can choose how the EXP is distributed to level up specific mercenaries.
PvP battles do not count toward the number of victories.
In addition, a minimum amount of EXP must be earned for the victory to count.
