**Combat Basics**
In many cases, to complete missions or earn rewards as a hunter, you will have to fight monsters and representatives of both your own and opposing races. You will need combat skills:
* After the fight starts, you will see a battle screen.

On the left is your character, on the right is the enemy character. In the center of the screen are three swords. Clicking them will attack the enemy. During the fight, you can use attacks to the "head", "body", and "legs". Different combinations of these attacks will create your super attacks. You can enter a defensive stance by clicking the "block" button, which will halve both your attacks on the enemy and the enemy's attacks on you.
You are relatively safe from enemy race warriors on your own continent, but aggressive monsters pose a threat. However, on almost all locations, except for major cities and settlements belonging to your race, free battles with your opponents from the opposite continent are possible.
Initially, you can participate in battles in the Settlement and City Arenas. To participate in a battle, you need to go to the Arena and choose the type of battle you want to participate in. The Arena offers the following types of battles: duels, group battles, and chaotic battles:
* Duels: One-on-one battles. You can either create a request for a battle and wait for another player to accept it, or accept an existing request.
* Group Battles: In group battles, you can join any group if the request already exists and the group has not yet reached the required number of fighters, or you can create your own request for a group battle.
* Chaotic: This type of battle involves all players joining a common request and being evenly distributed into two groups after the battle begins.
During and after the battle, you will see the following messages and indicators:
* Dodge: The character dodged an attack (the probability depends on the character's stats).
* Block: The character blocked an attack (the probability depends on the character's stats).
* Critical Hit (red number): An enhanced attack on the enemy (the probability depends on the character's stats).
* Enemy Waiting: The enemy is currently fighting another player on your side.
* Defeat: Unfortunately, your opponent was stronger, and you should visit the nearest temple to resurrect and continue your adventures.
* Victory: You were stronger than your opponent and won the battle.
You can view the history of your attacks during the battle in the "Battle Log" window.
After the battle, you will see a table with statistics showing the damage dealt by you (your character's nickname is highlighted in green) and other participants in the battle, as well as the experience gained.

The trophy icon next to your opponent's nickname in the battle statistics means that you killed him, i.e., you dealt the final blow, and you can place his portrait as a trophy in your profile (this applies only to other players, not monsters).
The bag icon next to your nickname in the battle statistics means that you (or your team) dealt the most damage in this battle and receive the loot from that monster.
During the battle, you will see informative messages in the chat, including notifications about the items you received:
