Battles

Battles in the HentaiVerse are where players can fight against monsters in order to gain Experience, Proficiency, Items, Equipment, and Credits.

Setup

• Battles are initiated by the player entering one of the battle modes manually or via Random Encounters while browsing the E-Hentai galleries.
• Each battle will spawn up to 10 monsters to fight. In Random Encounters low-levelled players will face fewer monsters.
• The player always acts first.
• The difficulty setting may be adjusted at any time outside of battle.
• The player may flee from battle to prevent defeat.

Terms

• A "turn" refers to a single action taken by the player (attacking, using spells, using items, etc.).
• A "round" refers to a fight with monsters that ends once they are defeated (or the player flees/dies).
• A "battle series" refers to a set of rounds that last until completed (or the player flees/dies).
  • e.g. The "First Blood" Arena challenge is a battle series with 5 rounds. Random Encounters and Ring of Blood challenges consist of only 1 round.

Combat

When it is the player's turn they may choose from 7 different actions:

Action		Description	Hotkey
|		Basic physical attack, applies the physical attack stats against the target's physical defense stats.	Q
		Prompts the player to select a skill / spell to use. Pressing the hotkey R will recast the previously used spell/skill on the previously selected target (or on the player if a supportive/curative spell was cast). If the previous target is dead it will open the Skillbook menu and select the previously used spell/skill, but not cast it. Recast works even if the player performs other actions in between. If no spell/skill has been cast at all during the round hitting R will have same effect as selecting Skillbook. Any skill/spell on cooldown will have its name and quickcast icon grayed/faded out. Players can put spells/skills they constantly use in one of the quick-cast slots. Spells/skills can be selected via clicking and can be selected using the hotkeys Alt + 1 through Alt + 0 (corresponding to the quickslot placement). These slots are linked to the player's Persona and will be blank when switching to a new persona for the first time.	W
|		Prompts the player to use one of their Battle Items. To use that action, players must move items from their Inventory to one of the Battle Item slot beforehand. By default every player has five Battle Items slots; this amount may be increased via Training. Using items is a free action; monsters cannot attack for that turn. Items have various cooldowns once consumed.	E
|		Toggles Spirit Stance. Can be toggled once a player has at least 50 units of Overcharge and consumes one SP and 10% Overcharge per round. On the current turn: Physical damage is boosted by +100%. Mana cost is reduced by 25%. On the following turn: Same as above, until the player runs out of Overcharge or toggles off Spirit Stance.	S
|		Use Defend command. Has no cooldown. On the current turn: Physical and magical mitigations are boosted by +25%. 25% Overcharge (one whole yellow pip) is consumed to recover 10% base health (requires 10%+ overcharge). On the following turn: Physical and magical mitigations are boosted by +25%.	D
|		Use Focus command. Has no cooldown. On the current turn: Evade, Block, Parry and Resist? reduced to 0% (-100% penalty). Monsters can still miss. 25% Overcharge is consumed to recover 5% base mana (requires 25%+ overcharge). On the following turn: Magic Hit Chance/Spell Hit Chance is boosted by 100%?. Counter-resist is boosted by 50%.	F

After selecting and executing a command each living monster may perform an attack, spell, or spirit attack. Most of the time this will result in the end of a turn, though sometimes certain abilities take longer to perform than others. In these cases some monsters may act a second time before the player can respond.

Targeting

Enemies can be targeted by mouse clicking or keyboard's hotkeys 1 through 0 (either on the home row or number pad); 1 corresponds to the through to 0 for .

Criticals

Physical and Magical attacks have a chance to perform a critical attack (crit) for both monsters and players, which deals bonus damage, as well as having a 100% chance to execute a weapon's or spell's innate procs. Does not affect procs granted by equipment suffixes or fighting style.

Critical hits have the following properties:

• Player's damage (physical & magical) is boosted by +50%. This extra damage may be increased further by:
  • Physical:
    • Using the Heartseeker spell.
    • Using equipment with "Savage" prefix or "Fatality" potency
  • Magical:
    • Using the Arcane Focus spell.
    • Using equipment with "Mystic" prefix or "Annihilator" potency
• The chance to deal critical attacks ("crit rate") can be increased by:
  • Physical:
    • Using equipment which has innate bonuses to attack crit chance or specific suffixes.
    • Investing into STR and DEX primary attributes.
    • Using the ability DW Crit (Dual Wielding or Niten Ichiryu fighting styles only).
    • Using the ability Light Crit (light armor only).
    • Having Burden above 70 reduces any critical physical attack bonuses, completely removing them at 120 burden.
  • Magical:
    • Using equipment which has innate bonuses to magic crit chance or specific suffixes.
    • Investing into INT and WIS primary attributes.
    • Using the ability Cloth Spellcrit (cloth armor only).
    • Having Interference above 0 reduces any critical magical attack bonuses, completely removing them at 50 Interference.

• Monsters have a base 20% crit damage bonus and crit rate, increased by their STR and DEX (for physical attacks) and WIS and INT (for magical attacks).

Day of the Week

During each day of the week damage done by a damage type is temporarily increased (both for the player and for monsters). Mitigation for the element is reduced by 10 points except for Friday's which is 5.

Day	Damage Type
Sunday	Holy
Monday	Dark
Tuesday	Fire
Wednesday	Cold
Thursday	Wind
Friday	All (see note)
Saturday	Elec

Note: Friday's 'all' damage bonus includes Void damage, as well as Slashing, Crushing, Piercing, and all elements listed on the table.

End of Round

Rounds end in these cases:

• Player win (victorious) - after which the player may enter the next round in the battle series, until the final round where they will be ejected from the battle upon victory.
• Player defeat (dies) - after which the player will be ejected from the battle series with armor durability loss.
• Player flees - after which the player will be ejected from battle series, and if successful will have no penalties. Players may still be killed, unless they have the Yakety Sax Hath Perk
