Combat uses the Main HUD's species-specific attack button. Attack animations and names differ by species, while damage and attack rate remain consistent within the same age group.

Basics

Be within 1.5 metres of the target.
Click the main HUD button and choose your attack strength.
Expect counterattacks and stay mobile.

Both players may enter species-specific combat animations when their personal animation settings are enabled.

Followers and speed boosters

Followers stick to targets; attaching one to someone makes them trail you.
If they attach one to you, they will stay close—use speed boosters to break away.
Collisions from two followers can force close-quarters brawls.

Tips

Open with a quick hit, then reposition.
Use speed boosts after landing a hit to control distance.
Assume your opponent can mirror your moves; plan escapes before you engage.

-Many players enjoy using the HUD for combat. To initiate an attack, you need to be within a 1.5-meter range of your target. Then, click on the main HUD button and select the strength of your attack. This enables you to engage with another player. However, it's crucial to be cautious as they can retaliate. Players utilize secondary HUDs for combat, incorporating followers and speed boosters. When a player attaches a follower to you, they will trail behind. If you move, they'll stay close, making it easier for them to attack. Conversely, if you attach a follower to them, you'll both collide, jostling around. This is where the speed booster becomes useful. It allows your avatar to move swiftly, enabling you to create distance from your opponent. They may employ a similar strategy, initiating combat as you maneuver.
