Combat Ruleset
A comprehensive guide to understanding Priority, Stagger, and Combat Outcomes.
To win a trade, your Stagger (S) must be greater than their Defense (D), while your Defense successfully holds against their Stagger.
Victory Example: Martial Art (S2, D1) vs Light Attack (S1, D0) =
Winner: (Stagger beats Defense and Defense
holds against Stagger).
If both players break through defense (Stagger > Defense for both), you both Stagger. In this state, generally whoever casts the ability first wins the trade; however, high Ping and Animation Speed can cause variations.
The Four Outcomes
1.
Victory
(Win)
Your Stagger is higher than their Defense, AND their Stagger is lower than or equal to your Defense. You will cleanly break their attack and Stagger them.
Example: Your Martial Art (S2, D1) vs Their Light Attack (S1, D0). Your Stagger breaks their Defense, and your Defense successfully holds against their Stagger.
2.
Defeat
(Loss)
Their Stagger is higher than your Defense, AND your Stagger is lower than or equal to their Defense. They will break your attack and clearly Stagger you.
Example: Your Light Attack (S1, D0) vs Their Martial Art (S2, D1). Their Stagger breaks your Defense, and their Defense successfully holds against your Stagger.
3.
Both Staggered
(Clash)
Both players have a Stagger that successfully breaks the opponent's Defense. The winner goes to whichever attack hits and registers first. Due to varied animation speeds, a player who casts their ability first can sometimes lose to a player who casted second, due to a faster animation speed, allowing that player to Stagger first.
Example: Heavy Attack (S1, D0) vs Light Charged Skill (S1, D0). Both
attacks possess a Stagger (1) capable of breaking the
opposing Defense (0). Whoever directly lands the hit
first will win the trade.
4.
Both Defend
(Draw)
Neither player has a Stagger high enough to break the opponent's Defense. Both players safely hit each other, but not Stagger.
Example: Special Skill (S0, D1) vs Special Skill (S0, D1). Neither
Stagger (0) is high enough to punch through a Defense (1), causing both players to draw. (A Stagger of 1
vs a Defense of 1 also results in a draw, as Stagger MUST
be higher in value.)
