He's correct on that, and no agility does not play any role in movement speed.

That's walk as in the second movement speed, right?

Come on man, get 15 UAC and you'll raid these ants hills without harm at all.

You'll obviously need these 15 uac later anyway.

Eight is all that is needed to successfully raid an ant hill via brute force (no kiting) with three ants. Less if there's only one or two.

don't pop over to this forum much. I have 20 ua, ants break my defense easilly, usually the first hit, and do about 8 damage when I have clogs(haven't tried any since I got leather armor)

and yes 2nd speed setting. if I click raid on a hill without being set to run, I usually take atleast 2 hits before I make it to the water.

Yeah because you are moving.
Use a manoeuver which isn't bloodlust or death or glory.
After having clicked raid, just don't move.

When you move without any attack/fight move selected, your defense bar is like empty.
Anything hitting you when you move will bypass the defense bar.

No, it depletes it to 0 and you take full damage. Ranged attacks bypass defense. :geek:

If you have 20 UA, why are you even running? Have you not thought "Hey, I'm tough enough that ants can't beat me up anymore?"
