Some questions about beeing attacked by another player:

How should i react when beeing attacked.
What details do i have to watch for. Are there any cheap tricks i should be aware of, like exploiting animals? And how to counter them?
What actions should i take and which should i avoid.

How do i survive if beeing attacked far away from a boat.
Is it possible to reliably shoot moving targets.
What combat behavior can i expect from a pvp?

Run unless you have reliable combat skills. 80ish UAC/MC in my opinion.
Not sure.
Not sure.
If being attacked from a boat it's best to just back away from the water. If you can take them then approach once they land, if not continue fleeing.
Not really, every time a target moves it drops the aim meter. A constantly moving target is borderline impossible.

if you don't left scents and people approaching seem like they could be hostile, teleport to hearth.if they attack your claim and you can't fight, log off.at least you survive, even if they wreck your shit

[Zarxes]

So as long as im in my claim and they havent got the walls down im save.

Could i try to repair the walls while they attack? What is the fastest time to wreck a palisade/brick wall? Moving should keep me save from ranged attacks.

[Zampfeo]

Don't run unless you know where you're going or you'll just make it easier for your attacker since your defense won't matter. When you do run, try to make it inside something or in a boat. If you don't, he will just run you down until you run out of water.

As it currently stands brickwalls require a battering ram which takes 24 hours to build and are hard to move. Palisades usually require battering rams but at some point become obsolete because they can be broke down by hand. From what I understand you can be shot from inside walls but not from inside a house. Try and make sure your HF is inside a house and just Teleport to HF anytime you get attacked.

How should i react when beeing attacked.
> Let them swing at you, then switch to run speed and get distance between you and them. If you can, get in a boat, otherwise get in a house or a cave. Map transitions are a good thing as they can cause combat to drop, allowing you to return to hearth or log off.

What details do i have to watch for. Are there any cheap tricks i should be aware of, like exploiting animals? And how to counter them?
> Yes. If they have ants attacking them, you're screwed and won't be able to hurt them. If you're in a boat, don't let them get close to you and attack your boat. Never let them attack you while you're moving. The best counters are being smart and mobile. Put obstacles between your enemies and yourself. Ants move at crawl speed so they can't kite them very far very fast.

What actions should i take and which should i avoid.
> Run. If you're great at combat, run to a location that is beneficial to You, not them. If you're useless at combat, run away and break combat.

Are there any cheap tricks i should be aware of? And how to counter them?
> What? You asked that already.

How do i survive if beeing attacked far away from a boat.
> Bees~! Run indoors and hide.

Is it possible to reliably shoot moving targets.
> Yes. Wear leather armor to prevent slings from killing you. Wear metal armor to stop bows. Wear full steel gear to stop ranger bows. To be honest, not many people (Read: No one) has a ranger's bow capable of increasing its aim while you're moving right now.

What combat behavior can i expect from a pvp?
> Idiots who don't know what the fuck they're doing, mostly. They'll attempt to engage you and use stupid tactics that they use to fight animals. Often, they'll just rapid attack with punch. Seriously, people suck balls at combat.

If they have ants attacking them, you're screwed and won't be able to hurt them.

Plz explain

The question is how far can i go with 95 ua anyways, what can i expect my opp has got

[TeckXKnight]

Combat Maneuvers with Delta 10. That is why ants are ridiculous.

It's impossible to say what to expect because the range is so huge and varied. A good indicator is your Delta. If they've got Death or Glory on and you're giving them 3 initiative every time you Charge! them, they have more than 3x+ your UA and are going to promptly stomp you into the ground. On the reverse end, if you've got Bloodlust on and they're restoring a good 15-20% of your attack every time they call down the thunder, you will destroy them.

Knowing how to use your maneuvers, moves, and special moves is more vital than having higher UA than them. Agility also matters a lot. When it comes down to it, whoever loses their defense first is as good as dead.

[Potjeh]

If you're giving them 3 IP when they use Bloodlust they have 9 times your UA, which you'll likely find out sooner since they'll hit you hard with the first punch.
