Overcomplicated solution for explorer ALT to survive PVP

Post by Zbyx »

Step 1 : Use leeches to get your SHP very low (3-10 SHP , depending on what leeches you have)
Step 2 : Keep your hunger under 8000%
Step 3 : Keep 1-2 leeches in your inventory when going out

If you get attacked by a player just put a leech on yourself and after about 1 min 20 seconds you will get KO

* Having some armor when going out can help
* Can aggro an animal to get yourself KO too (preferably which does not execute)

How is this better than having 1 shp, 1 uac, 1 melee and no armor at all? Then you would get ko'd from the first hit that deals dmg.

I think a bow shot can kill you without armor.

You can remove armor at any time during fight.

Flex/uppercut can be used to make openings without damaging you, leeches will give a very limited time for people to do that.

First hit will never deal damage, and with 1uac/melee you'd just get a 99%'d opening, followed by whatever absurd attack that overkills you if you have bad con/no armor.

You also like, idk, put armor on your explorer alt because even shit armor is enough to make it difficult to kill you with grevious damage from most people

You basically won't die if you're full HHP, not on deep water. But if you're really concerned about this, go out with fairly low SHP by leaving a bunch of tresspassing scents and <8000% energy. The number of people actually dying when full HHP is incredibly small. I wouldn't even worry about it. Stay off deep water and you're fine.

Worth remembering there's an overhit protection mechanic right now. If you walk up to and cleave a 100hhp alt for 400dmg it doesn't die.

All this means is you take 45-60% (or 65-80% if in mrage) of your HHP in damage, which will likely be majority deep cuts since you're a low con alt, which can be healed instantly.
