What should you do if you are attacked too many times?
There is a lot of help inside the game to assist novice players; there are a lot of topics in the forums as well about this topic. However it is worth summarizing this information here. Well, as far as you are able to find this topic...
It might be the case that someone feels that he is attacked too many times by players stronger than him and they steal his SE, keep his HP down so he cannot get ahead. What can you do in this case? Fortunately, there are a lot of options, just read this topic carefully.
1. If a player decides to attack another one, he usually takes two points into consideration: the equipment and the sum of the ability scores.
1.1. It is quite easy to increase your ability scores. Click on the character sheet in the main menu. Beside your ability scores you can see a grey or green cross. If you click on a green cross, you can increase the ability score. A grey cross means that you do not have sufficient SE (so you have to go hunting). An important notice: the lower the ability score, the easier it is to increase it! So it requires much less SE to increase each ability score from 20 to 21 than to increase one from 26 to 27. If many players attack you, always increase your lowest ability score making the sum of your ability scores higher thus making other players ignore you when choosing a victim. Although Attack is more useful than Magic, but if you increase Magic as well, other players will think you are stronger and will not attack you.
On the other hand, if you spend all your SE to build in a clan, you will not be able to increase you ability scores, everyone will see that you are weak, and players will keep attacking you. If you click on the Highscores, you can check other players of your level. If their ability score sum is significantly higher than yours, concentrate on increasing it.
1.2 The other important aspect is the equipment. If someone misses a part of their equipment, especially if it is the spell, they are attacked more frequently. If possible, try to get one of every type of equipment (weapon, armour, shield, and spell). If you get them, you need to replace them only every 4-5 levels. If you are saving SE for a new item, try to get as many APs as possible and try to complete as many hunts as possible in a row, so others will not be able to attack you. Of course, you might get a few attackers, but in the worst case you will lose only a few SE, worthing a few hunts. If you are saving a lot of SE for a new item, check your character after hunting, because if you leave a lot of SE at the character for 1-2 days, quite a lot will be stolen from him. So choose a time carefully, so that you can check your character after the hunt. Don’t save SE for an item until you have increased you ability scores to the amount appropriate for your level.
1.3 Attackers have another point. They prefer to attack those who are not members of a clan. The reason is simple: members of a clan can spend all their SE on building. Those who aren’t, will always have some loot. So try to join a clan that looks viable and has perspective as soon as possible.
1.4 In the options menu you can write a brief description of your character. In many cases a witty/interesting description might deter attackers.
1.5 Beginners get 6 ancient stone for completing the fist quiz. It is worth spending these stones on premium membership (left side, Premium membership), because if you are a premium member players can steal less SE from you.
If you have an average ability score sum, have got a few items and are a member of a clan, you might not be attacked at all.
2. How can I save SE for a new item?
The most common reason for a player to feel frustrated is when he is collecting SE for a new item and he is often robbed. There are several ways to avoid this:
2.1 As I mentioned above, try to accumulate a lot of APs and spend them all at once.
2.2 If you replace an older item (except weapons) then you can sell your previous item as well before buying the new one (though only for 25% of the original cost).
2.3 A crucial trick: if you HP is under 15%, you cannot be attacked! If you are saving for, say an item worth 1500 SE and you already have 3-400 SE it is worth attacking someone so that your life decreases (even to 1). You lose a little SE, but then you can save the remaining SE in safety.
2.4. If you are in a clan, ask the other members to give you a hand. Players who are assisted are usually not attacked. The button for assistance can be found on the main page of the clan, on the right hand side.
3. Invisibility
Invisibility is the final resort if all else fails and it is also the method for players who prefer a peaceful game style. On your character sheet you can find a button called Invisibility. If you click on it, you will get to the description part from where you can activate it.
If you decide to become invisible, you can still be attacked, but you will get bonuses that make it almost certain that you win the duel. Consequently, invisible characters are usually not attacked; it is almost as good as total invincibility. Anyway, if you are invisible, you should still increase your ability scores and purchase items to make you a less appealing opponent.
Invisibility has two major disadvantages. For one thing, you cannot attack other characters either. For another, you get less SE and XP when hunting, so you will advance less rapidly. Of course this does not necessarily qualifies as a disadvantage, because those players who kept attacking will get ahead and will not be able to attack you because of the level difference. Please note that the minimum duration of invisibility is 24 hours.
4. Resting
Don’t forget about resting (check the button on the left side). When resting you regenerate much faster and you get 10% defense as well. This does not mean a lot (+2-3% chance of winning) but at least it is something. Try to use resting 3 times a day. If you are not hunting and you miss some HPs, click on it.
5. Protection potion
The soul-huckster sells protection potions under the misc. category. Protection potions significantly increase your chance of winning when attacked by a more powerful opponent. And it has no hindrance like the invisibility has. However, it has a cost.
