Choice of fighting method:
You can choose the fighting method by clicking on the specific image, there is also the possibility of using hot keys for faster changes.
weapon ( hotkey: q) ,
charm (hotkey: e) accessory charm (hotkey: a )
Important: The currently used method is surrounded by a red box, so you know which method is in progress.
For casting with a charm, you need MANA. If you are out of mana, you can not cast any more.
For accessory charms, its a little different:
11. Accessory charm How does it work?You equip it by drag and drop the charm in the accessory charm slot in your inventory.
So you can use 2 charms at the same time, but the do not work in the same way:
The acc. charm does not give any stat points and and its effectiveness is reduced by 25%
You may use this charm to attack, but it is not very effective.
You should rather use it to heal yourself:
Choose the charm by clicking on its image or hit the hotkey "a" (red box around it when used)
Now click on your name and you will heal yourself.It does not work?Remember, you can only use this charm during a combat and it costs mana like every charm, so no mana = no heal.Can i use it also as a main charm?Yes you can, and it is even more effective here.
The main charm works with 100% and has all the advantages shown, of course.
These healing charms exist:
- Wild heal: Small minimum heal, high maximum heal. huge difference
- Heal: higher minimum heal, not so high maximum heal. medium difference
- Focused Heal: higher minimum heal, medium maximum heal. small difference
- Healing with these charms is the only way to regain life in the catacombs, so it is VERY helpful there
- Also monsters may use these charms and heal themselves
- Hint: Especially as a melee char you may fight against level 1 monsters and use this heal charm until your mana is empty. This speeds up your life regenerating periods by far
