Combat

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.

• Attack Skill: Determines the chance to hit an enemy (see Accuracy)
• Defense Skill: Determines the chance to dodge an attack (see Evasion)
• Damage: The amount of damage dealt when an attack connects
• Armor: Reduces incoming physical damage based on armor level and Glyphs

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)

• Weapon Damage: Base damage range from equipped weapon
• Hero Strength: Additional damage based on hero's Strength
• Weapon Upgrades: Each upgrade level adds +1 to damage range (see Upgrading)
• Final damage = Random value in weapon's damage range + strength bonus

• Dodging: Based on Defense Skill and can avoid all damage from an attack
• Blocking: Armor reduces incoming damage by a percentage
• Evasion: Special skills and items can increase dodge chance (see Evasion)
• Resistances: Certain buffs and equipment provide resistance to specific damage types (see Resistances)

• Melee Combat: Close-range attacks using swords, axes, and maces (see Melee Combat)
• Ranged Combat: Attacks from a distance using ranged weapons, wands, or spells (see Ranged Combat)
• Magical Combat: Offensive spells and abilities that bypass physical armor

• Positioning: Use narrow corridors to fight enemies one at a time
• Tactical Retreat: Use doors to separate enemies and fight them individually
• Status Effects: Use blindness, paralysis, or other debuffs to gain advantages
• Environmental Awareness: Use traps, chasms, and other environmental features to your advantage

• Surprise Attack: Backstabbing enemies from behind for bonus damage (see Assassin subclass)
• Critical Hits: Random chance to deal maximum possible damage
• Elemental Damage: Some weapons and spells ignore armor entirely
• Status Effects: Various effects like burning, poisoning, or paralysis can change combat dynamics

• Uses 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

• Weapons: Affect damage output and special effects (see Weapons)
• Armor: Reduces incoming physical damage (see Armor)
• Rings: Provide various combat bonuses (damage, accuracy, evasion, etc.) (see Rings)
• Artifacts: Special items with unique combat capabilities (see Artifacts)

• Fury: Increases damage output temporarily (see Fury)
• Invisibility: Allows attacks without retaliation (see Invisibility)
• Paralysis: Disables enemy actions (see Paralysis)
• Terror: Forces enemies to flee (see Terror)
