How to fight bats.

[Ysh]

While wearing it bats don't attack you unless you aggro them first.

Wait, seriously?

I know I put that forth as one of the properties when I suggested the bat cape, but I didn't think it was actually implemented.

Bats should no longer attack batmen.

WIth 25 agi and 20 UA you don't need armor... use quick dodge and punch... you just need to put jump on when they start gathering IP as their yellow attack uses IP. Whem if you notice they've hit your yellow defense... go full offensive, since the cooldown on their yellow attack is high!
C'mon... I'm a total newbie and started killing bats with 25agi 15ua wearing only nettle...

Its really simple, The combat system is easy to understand in a different perspective. Its a game of matching cards. They pull up a move that yellow/blue and you use jump and sidestep which are yellow and blue which counters it and you will take about 1 - 0 damage with no armor ( if your fighting a bat ) Always have as much of different colors as possible when trying to attack to avoid as much damage as possible. Thats the basics. Heck, even the fighting sets you make are called decks. Its a card game



Correct me if i said anything wrong

Ive done very little combat and learned how to use it yesterday

Actually bats have 2 attacks, one that can hit for blue AND green (so if you have a green def it's already enough to stop it) and one that hits for yellow. This is why you don't need sidestep, as quick dodge alone can counter the basic attack bats have, and jump will block the yellow one. Sure you can use sidestep to block the base attack, but considering quick dodge has a lower cooldown and a larger duration time, it's preferable! QUck dodge is 20 cooldown 300 duration, sidestep 35 cooldown 200 duration. And with 20UA alone your quick dodge can solo-block the basic attacks, and your jump can solo-block the special attack, so you take 0 damage even without armor.

Yeah. It's extremely useful for mining and killing more bats. You can actually chase them down because you can sprint straight into a bat and it doesn't care.

bats seem to only get ip by actually getting through your defenses, if you keep quick dodge up they don't appear to gain any ip

Nevertheless, to start fighting them with both quick dodge and sidestep is the smarter way - especially when you're new to the combat system.

PS: you don't want bats to get IP in case they can break through a single defense in one hit, since then their yellow attack will hurt.

How much hitpoints do they have?

How much hitpoints do they have?

Emm... like 100 hp? Never saw more than 73 dealed damage, before they start fleeing and can be one-shoted by any punch... Maybe even 90...
