Combat

Version 0.1.9: This article may not be up to date for the latest version of Isleward.

WIP: This article is a work in progress, meaning that it is being worked on but is unfinished. You can help by editing it.

Combat is relatively simple in Isleward.

You can target a monster by left-clicking on it. Walk toward the monster to get within range of your Weapon and press the keyboard button 1 to engage auto-attack for your main weapon. Attacking a monster will cause it to retaliate.

The monster or you dies when its HP is depleted to zero. You can view your current HP at the top left corner. If you are killed in combat, you will respawn (unless you are Hardcore, in which case your death is permanent), and the monster's HP will be healed to full. Once a monster is killed, you will gain experience and it may drop loot for you to pick up by walking over it.

Weapons

Different Weapons have different fighting styles. You can increase your damage by improving your attributes or by using a weapon with higher base damage.

Runes

Runes also provide additional abilities to assist you in combat, such as dealing damage or healing yourself. You can learn up to three runes at a time, and activate their abilities by pressing 2, 3 or 4. Runes requires mana to use, which can also be seen at the top left corner.

Defense

You can decrease the damage taken by improving Armor or Resistances stats.

Others

You can also form a party with other players to defeat more difficult monsters, and to shared loot and experience.
