Combat skills#

Combat skills

A clone can participate in tournaments, work as a security guard, duel a robber, or rob houses and settlements. The game’s combat mode (except for battles with General Webman) is based on PvP (player versus player), taking into account military knowledge, military initiative, and tactics. Battles are conducted automatically, taking into account the clone’s combat skills and weapons. Skills can increase accuracy, damage dealt, reduce enemy stats, provide self-help, and select targets in group combat.

Combat skills are upgraded on the * “Combat Skills” page (Character → “Education” → “Combat Skills”). Skill stat increases are calculated based on the resulting value. For example, clone accuracy 30% + sniper rifle 25% + skill bonus 10% → the resulting hit probability is 60.5%.

“Hand-to-hand combat” refers to combat with melee weapons or fists. Some skills work in all combats, while others only work in guard/robber combat and tournaments, but not against a common enemy or stash-robbing squads.
