====== Combat ======

{{ rpd:images:combat_illustration.png|Combat System }}

**Combat** in Remixed Dungeon involves interactions between the player character and various dungeon creatures. This system determines how attacks, damage, and defensive actions work in the game.

==== Basic Combat Mechanics ====
  * **Attack Skill**: Determines the chance to hit an enemy (see [[en:rpd:accuracy_mechanic|Accuracy]])
  * **Defense Skill**: Determines the chance to dodge an attack (see [[en:rpd:evasion|Evasion]])
  * **Damage**: The amount of damage dealt when an attack connects
  * **Armor**: Reduces incoming physical damage based on armor level and [[en:rpd:glyphs|Glyphs]]

==== Attack System ====
In combat, the chance to hit is calculated as:
  * Hit chance = Attack Skill / (Attack Skill + Defense Skill)
  * Minimum hit chance is 5% (always possible to hit)
  * Maximum hit chance is 95% (always possible to miss)

==== Damage Calculation ====
  * **Weapon Damage**: Base damage range from equipped [[en:rpd:weapon_item|weapon]]
  * **Hero Strength**: Additional damage based on hero's [[en:rpd:strength_attribute|Strength]]
  * **Weapon Upgrades**: Each upgrade level adds +1 to damage range (see [[en:rpd:upgrading|Upgrading]])
  * Final damage = Random value in weapon's damage range + strength bonus

==== Defensive Actions ====
  * **Dodging**: Based on Defense Skill and can avoid all damage from an attack
  * **Blocking**: [[en:rpd:armor_item|Armor]] reduces incoming damage by a percentage
  * **Evasion**: Special skills and items can increase dodge chance (see [[en:rpd:evasion|Evasion]])
  * **Resistances**: Certain [[en:rpd:buffs|buffs]] and equipment provide resistance to specific damage types (see [[en:rpd:resistances|Resistances]])

==== Combat Types ====
  * **Melee Combat**: Close-range attacks using [[en:rpd:swords|swords]], [[en:rpd:melee_weapons|axes]], and maces (see [[en:rpd:melee_combat|Melee Combat]])
  * **Ranged Combat**: Attacks from a distance using [[en:rpd:bow|ranged weapons]], [[en:rpd:wands|wands]], or [[en:rpd:spells|spells]] (see [[en:rpd:ranged_combat|Ranged Combat]])
  * **Magical Combat**: Offensive [[en:rpd:spells|spells]] and abilities that bypass physical armor

==== Combat Strategies ====
  * **Positioning**: Use narrow corridors to fight [[en:rpd:enemies|enemies]] one at a time
  * **Tactical Retreat**: Use doors to separate enemies and fight them individually
  * **Status Effects**: Use [[en:rpd:blindness_buff|blindness]], [[en:rpd:paralysis_buff|paralysis]], or other [[en:rpd:debuffs|debuffs]] to gain advantages
  * **Environmental Awareness**: Use [[en:rpd:traps|traps]], chasms, and other environmental features to your advantage

==== Special Combat Mechanics ====
  * **Surprise Attack**: Backstabbing [[en:rpd:enemies|enemies]] from behind for bonus damage (see [[en:rpd:assassin_subclass|Assassin]] subclass)
  * **Critical Hits**: Random chance to deal maximum possible damage
  * **Elemental Damage**: Some [[en:rpd:weapon_item|weapons]] and [[en:rpd:spells|spells]] ignore [[en:rpd:armor_item|armor]] entirely
  * **Status Effects**: Various effects like [[en:rpd:burning_buff|burning]], [[en:rpd:poison_buff|poisoning]], or [[en:rpd:paralysis_buff|paralysis]] can change combat dynamics

==== Ranged Combat Specifics ====
  * Uses [[en:rpd:ballistica_mechanic|Ballistica]] for line-of-sight calculation
  * Ranged weapons have limited ammunition
  * Some ranged weapons have special effects like piercing or area damage
  * Wands and spells provide magical ranged options

==== Equipment Influence ====
  * **Weapons**: Affect damage output and special effects (see [[en:rpd:weapon_item|Weapons]])
  * **Armor**: Reduces incoming physical damage (see [[en:rpd:armor_item|Armor]])
  * **Rings**: Provide various combat bonuses (damage, [[en:rpd:accuracy_mechanic|accuracy]], [[en:rpd:evasion|evasion]], etc.) (see [[en:rpd:rings|Rings]])
  * **Artifacts**: Special items with unique combat capabilities (see [[en:rpd:artifacts|Artifacts]])

==== Combat-Related Buffs ====
  * **Fury**: Increases damage output temporarily (see [[en:rpd:fury_buff|Fury]])
  * **Invisibility**: Allows attacks without retaliation (see [[en:rpd:invisibility_buff|Invisibility]])
  * **Paralysis**: Disables enemy actions (see [[en:rpd:paralysis_buff|Paralysis]])
  * **Terror**: Forces enemies to flee (see [[en:rpd:terror_buff|Terror]])
