Any demon will tell you: Nothing’s greater than massacring an adventurer. It even became the favorite hobby of Hour Demons. Well, you know, marking out the seconds is no longer fun after you've done it for five minutes! What would the point be in having physical advantages (muscular body, wings that Evil Tofus themselves envy), if we can't have a little fun... The hour demons were just thinking about the whole thing, between a flapping of wings of Tempousfougit and a croaking of the Time Devourer Frog, when the demon of the tenth hour got entangled in the chains of his flail. He spurted out his flick-claws and as he wanted to catch hold of the Time Frame, he tore it almost all the way down... By an extraordinary coincidence, a passing-by adventurer stepped into the breach newly created. One might as well say he's been warmly welcome by the demons. They treated him like a distinguished guest with whom they would spend a nice long moment. At first, they only took an adventurer once in a while, nothing too important, really. They made him slide down from any part of the world, to this mysterious place which they called in between them: the “arena” (1) . And they took delight in changing the topology of the arena, from a grassy plain to a dark cave. Let's be honest: these disappearances went totally unnoticed... A few kilos of adventurers missing in such a cruel world never moved anyone. Then, it was no longer one, but five, six even up to eight adventurers at once who were dragged down into the arena. By the way, this was NOT a pleasant experience. Indeed, just imagine yourself being surprised in the middle of a casual but essential moment of your life... for instance, while polishing your Kluh Boots, or drying your blue larva skins, or even admiring your collection of Arachnee legs, or whatever (2)... When suddenly a demon arm grabs you from nowhere to take you to nowhere... Your personal legend is hurt. Harsh. But not as harsh as facing twelve enraged and beaming demons with strangers! The demons' joy didn't last long. Xelor noticed the numerous rips made in the Time Frame. He first thought it was the work of Timemite but eventually found out about the demons' little game. The god of time, himself, went to the arena to punish the demons. But as he was in a good mood, he only sermonized them... to their astonishment. However, he ordered the demons to open their arena to whoever would like to fight cleanly and therefore, perpetuate the knightly spirit of the World. He also enjoined them to fix the Time Frame as his time was precious! The news was proclaimed in the four corners of the World by Midnight, the female demon of the twenty-fourth hour: the Dofus Arena was open to valiant knights, fearless warriors, and everyone else who wishes to have fun. (1) As you can imagine, demons took any adventurers they would come across. There was no choice whatsoever in all this. Therefore, this does not make you a hero. (2) Though it is an unknown fact, demons knew some Latin... and « arena » comes from Latin....

You’ve just arrived on the Dofus-Arena island. This enchanting island allows you to meet your friends and to fight your enemies. At the center of this island, you can see big totems. They are perfect to protect you from the sun or to meet people. The best dressed coaches are game veterans but before flooding them with questions, read this manual. They are fearsome fighters who deserve respect. They are happy to help beginners if their questions are pertinent. Even if we spend our time fighting each other, a chivalrous courtesy reigns in Dofus-Arena. Hatred is demons’ business

Be clear when you speak! This is essential! Whether you are in game or on the Dofus-Arena forums, there are rules you must respect when communicating with others to avoid being sent packing... Write clearly, watch spelling and grammar mistakes! You must be very clear when you ask a question. If you do not bother paying attention when writing your question, people won’t bother reading or even answering it either! Besides, it’s always funnier to play in a friendly spirit!

CRA disciples are archers, genuine sharpshooters and their acuteness enables them to shoot at a great distance! Strength Cras can weaken their enemies from a distance, repel enemies, subtract Action and Movement Points to enemies. Weakness Arrows can’t be shot when Cras are in direct contact with an enemy. Therefore, Cras are vulnerable when in close combat.

ECAFLIP disciples are born to attack. However, because Ecaflips love chance so much, their striking power can be very uncertain. Strength If they’re lucky, Ecaflips will be powerful. They can also influence chance, either for them, their allies or their enemies. Ecaflips can also turn visible invisible characters. Weakness If chance isn’t on their side, the Ecaflips’ hits can be very weak and even without any effects. Spells • All or Nothing: Heals and harms (Water-type damage) all the fighters randomly. • Feline’s Leap: one-cell teleportation. • Lottery: deals random Earth-type damage. • Feline Spirit: deals random damage to the target (Water-type) and to the caster (Water-type). • Rotten Luck: increases the target’s probability to deal Critical failures. • Roulette: poisons everyone’s AP (actions will cost you HP). • Risky Petrifaction: petrifies (or not). • Perception: turns invisible characters visible. • Heads or Tails: heals and randomly deals Earth-type damage to a target. • Clover: increases the target’s probabilities to deal a critical hit.

ENIRIPSA disciples ally great healing skills and a weak striking power. Strength Healing their allies, give them Action Points or free them from a spell, this is the Eniripsas’ vocation! A must-have support unit! Weakness Eniripsas can heal themselves but have few Health Points. They’re often the first ones the enemies try to kill. Spells • Curative Word: heals the caster. • Healing Word: heals an ally. • Stimulating Word: gives a permanent AP bonus to the caster or to an ally. • Word of Sacrifice: gives Health Points to an ally by harming the caster (Fire-type damage). • Revitalizing Word: heals the caster or an ally. • Altruism: heals all of the fighters, either ally or enemy, in the area of effect. • Regenerating Word: regenerates the target’s Health Points at the beginning of its activation. • Wiping Word: turns the caster invisible. • Word of Youth: frees the target from a spell. • Word of Torture: heals all of the caster’s allies by harming the caster (Fire-type damage).

The ENUTROF disciple, skilled treasure hunter, will know how to make their shovel talk for his friends as well as for his enemies. Strength They can become invisible, which is a precious advantage; they can also petrify an enemy or free characters from spells. Weakness They’ve got a weak striking power and they’re not fit to fight but are to support others.

FECA disciples are born protectors, who juggle with armors, immunities and truces. They can also reflect their enemies’ spells. Strength They can give powerful protections and defences to their allies as well as to themselves. Weakness Fecas have a weak and restrictive attack regarding range and firing angle. Spells • Cloudy Attack: deals considerable Fire-type damage. • Wind and Fire Armor: partially increases the resistance to Fire and Air-type damage. • Earth and Water Armor: partially increases the resistance to Earth and Water-type damage. • Immunity: partially immunizes against all sorts of damage. • Weakness: reduces the target’s resistances. • Feca Shield: partially immunizes the caster or one of his allies against all sorts of damage. • Bubble: deals considerable Water-type damage. • Spell Rebound: partially reflects the damage dealt by spells. • Truce: cancels the damage inflicted by everyone for a short period of time. • Teleportation: teleports the caster up to a 6-cell distance.

IOP disciples are powerful fighters but not quite delicate as they leap to attack and hit anything they can on their way! Increasing their allies’ damage is also part of their skills. Strength Iops have an excellent striking power when in close combat or in average distance. As they have a few area attacks, they can deal considerable damage in the enemy ranks. Weakness Iops are often on the front line and bear the first blow of the enemies, especially since their range is often less important. Besides, their area spells can harm their allies. Spells • Iop’s Wrath: deals considerable Fire-type damage. • Increase: increases the caster’s damage. • Bravery Guide: increases the damage of everyone in the area of effect. • Mutilation: increases the caster’s damage, but harms the latter a little (Earth-type damage). • Sword of Fate: deals considerable Fire-type damage. • Jump: teleports up to two cells. • Celestial Sword: deals considerable Earth-type area damage. • Cut: deals considerable Air-type damage and subtracts an MP to the target. • Pressure: deals considerable Earth-type damage.

OSAMODAS disciples are creature summoners and their summons enable them to harass the others, subtract Action Points or repel the enemies. Strength Osamodas let their creatures go fight while they quietly remain behind where there are fewer risks. Their summons are powerful especially if their summoner increases their characteristics. Weakness Osamodas, themselves, do not have many attack spells. Besides, their summons have very few Movement Points. Therefore, an Osamodas must often get closer to the enemy for the summon to attack. Spells • Summoning of Gobball: summons a Gobball (read p.26). • Summoning of Crackler: summons a Crackler (read p.26). • Summoning of Prespic: summons a Prespic (read p.26). • Summoning of Tofu: summons a Tofu (read p.26). • Animal Blessing: increases the maximal number of summons that the caster can have in game. • Whip: deals considerable Earth-type damage to a summon. • Bear’s Cry: gives a damage bonus to an ally summon. • High-Energy Shot: gives an AP bonus to an ally summon. • Crow: deals small Fire-type damage. • Carapace: gives a resistance bonus to an ally summon. Being an Osamodas, it’s also having… • 65 HP • 60 Initiative • A punch which deals 5 Earth-type damage or 7 on a Critical hit for 5AP.

PANDAWA disciples know how to challenge gravity without worrying. Indeed, Pandawas are especially skilled to lift off their feet their enemies and throw them into the air. Therefore, they’re quite appreciated in teams because they can quickly propel their allies on the front line. Strength Pandawas can cast an ally in close combat or protect him by carrying him. They can also repel or throw an enemy away. Weakness They bear all the negative aspects, especially damage, that should have hit their ally when they can’t attack or defend themselves while they carry someone. Spells • Chamrak: allows for throwing a target carried by the Pandawa. • Karzam: allows for carrying an enemy. • Karcham: allows for carrying an ally. • Alcoholic Blow: deals considerable Fire-type damage and repels of one cell. • Stabilization for Others: immunizes a target from attraction or repulsion effects. • Stabilization: immunizes the caster from attraction or repulsion effects. • Pandatak: deals considerable Earth-type damage in line. • Explosive Flask: deals considerable Fire-type damage in area. Being a Pandawa, it’s also having… • 75 HP • 40 Initiative • A punch which deals 5 Fire-type damage or 7 on a Critical hit for 5AP. The Pandawa “Carry” function The spells enabling Pandawas to carry a fighter, either Karzam or Karcham, have specific rules that deserve to be mentioned. • Tower: The carrying Pandawa and the carried fighter form what we call a “tower”. As long as a Pandawa carries someone, the carried fighter can not be aimed at by other fighters or by himself. Only the “tower” as a whole, can be aimed at. • Knocking down the tower: If a Pandawa who carries someone is attracted or repelled by some spell, he will let the carried fighter down right where he was. Petrifactions and other immobilizations do not make the carried fighter fall, and do not affect him. The Pandawa is the only character to be affected. When activated, a summon (which has MP) carried by a Pandawa will get off the tower. • Switch places with a carried character: You can not switch places with a Pandawa who’s carrying a character. However, it can happen that a carried fighter can switch places with a fighter on the ground when a Sacrier is involved. Indeed, when a Sacrier sacrifices himself for another character and the latter is carried, he will then naturally switch places with him to take in the damage. • The Tower Effect: A fighter carried by a Pandawa is as elevated as if he were on a 4-cell high ground. Therefore, he benefits from a range bonus. • Beneficial Spells: Beneficial spells, cast by the carried fighter (for instance: Clover), or another fighter (for instance: Healing Word) or the environment (for instance: Fog) always affect the “tower” as a whole since the Pandawa passes on the effect (to the carried fighter). • Harmful Spells: The harmful spells only affect the base of the tower (the Pandawa does not pass on the effect). If a damage spell reaches the tower, the Pandawa takes it all in while the carried fighter does not bear any damage. If a spell giving you malus targets the tower, only the Pandawa will be affected. If the carrying Pandawa dies, the carried fighter falls on the ground and becomes a target again. If a spell has both harmful and beneficial effects, the Pandawa will take in the harmful effects while the carried character will take in the beneficial ones. Special case: Unbewitchment is considered as a harmful spell. • Spells with specific targets: If a Pandawa carries a summon and a spell like High-Energy Shot is cast on the tower, only the summon will benefit from it. Indeed, the spell must target a summon. And this is the same with the Xelor spell Mummification and the Sadida spell Silvan Power since they only affect their respective classes, and never the carrier. • Special Cells: The Pandawa always bears the effect and can do so up to twice a turn, at the Pandawa’s activation and that of the carried character. A Pandawa can therefore put up with either a double bonus or double malus. For instance, in the case of a Death cell if the Pandawa plays before the carried fighter he will die and drop the carried fighter who will also die when activated (unless he’s been moved). But if the carried fighter plays before the Pandawa, then the Pandawa dies in the carried fighter’s place and the latter can move away from the Death cell. • Event Cards: Event cards affect a carrying Pandawa and a carried fighter. In the case of Divine cards, they will only benefit to the fighters of the related class, so even if a Pandawa carries a Sram and the god Sram’s card is picked, the Pandawa will not get the MP and damage bonuses. On the contrary, if the god Xelor’s card is picked during the following turn, both the Pandawa and the Sram will be affected by the AP malus. • Fog: If a carrying Pandawa gets in the fog, the whole tower will become invisible; and it will become visible again when the tower gets out of the fog.

SACRIER disciples master their pain to better concentrate their strength. They are very powerful when in close combat. Strength Extremely powerful and resistant, Sacriers are also king in strategic spots: he can switch his place with an enemy or an ally, or even attract a person to him. Weakness Sacriers’ attacks are essentially close combat or short-ranged attacks. Therefore they often bear lots of damage before reaching the right range. Moreover, their spells self-inflict quite considerable damage. Spells • Attraction: allows for attracting the target towards the caster. • Transposition: the caster switches places with that of the ally target. • Sacrifice: for a while, the Sacrier will bear the damage inflicted to the target and will switch places with it. • Assault: deals Air-type damage and swap places with the target. • Sacrier’s Foot: deals Earth-type damage and reduces the target’s damage. • Fury: deals small Air-type damage and increases the caster’s Air-type damage. • Bloodthirsty Madness: steals Health Points (Air-type damage) to the benefit of the caster. • Punishment: deals considerable Air-type damage to a target and inflicts small Water-type damage to the caster. • Life Transfer: The caster passes on some of his Health Points to an ally. Being a Sacrier, it’s also having… • 80 HP • 30 Initiative • A punch which deals 5 Air-type damage or 7 on a Critical hit for 5AP.

SADIDA disciples are fearsome summoners. Summoning explosive and blocking dolls as well as ones that can subtract AP are all part of their talents. Strength They can send dolls to deal damage or block the other players. They can also hit from a distance with a spell like Bramble and transform into trees which are well protected against damage. Weakness Their dolls have a very short life-expectancy and can not be summoned at each turn. Furthermore, they’re limited regarding the total number of summoning they can do in a game. Spells • Earthquake: inflicts little Earth-type damage to everyone. • Dollical Sacrifice: steals life from a summon (Fire-type damage) to the caster’s benefit. • Bramble: deals considerable Earth-type damage. • The Sacrificial Doll: summons a Sacrificial Doll (read p.26). • The Madoll: summons a Madoll (read p.26). • The Block: summons a Block (read p.26). • Poisoning: poisons the target for a short period of time. • Knowledge of Dolls: increases the maximum in-game number of summons that the caster can have. • Silvan Power: turns the caster into a tree therefore giving him great resistances. • Tree: summons a Tree (read p.26). Being a Sadida, it’s also having… • 65 HP • 60 Initiative • A punch which deals 5 Earth-type damage or 7 on a Critical hit for 5AP.

SRAM disciples are sly masterminds. Srams can turn an ally invisible, turn themselves invisible, repel enemies and even set up traps which will be activated when an enemy steps on it. Strength With their invisibility spells, their doubles and diversion, Srams can disconcert their enemies while dealing decent damage. Weakness Their attacks require a good location to work and it’s the same for the traps. Besides, Srams usually have to get in close combat, making them easy targets. Spells • Double: summons a double of the caster (read p.26). • Invisibility of Others: turns a target (other than the caster) invisible. • Invisibility: turns the caster invisible. • Lethal Attack: deals considerable Air-type damage. • Lethal Trap: this spell creates a trap on a cell. Such trap will systematically kill the fighters which start their activation on it. • Life Theft: steals life from a target (Earth-type damage) to the caster’s benefit. • Fear: repels of one cell. • Tricky Blow: deals considerable Air-type damage and repels of two cells. • Fog: creates an area in which everyone becomes invisible. • Diversion: makes the target(s) turn around in the area of effect. Being a Sram, it’s also having… • 70 HP • 50 Initiative • A punch which deals 5 Air-type damage or 7 on a Critical hit for 5AP.

XELOR disciples are time masters. They perfectly know how to subtract Action Points to their enemies or give some to their allies, while inflicting considerable damage to the enemy team. Strength Their major strength is their capacity to increase their allies AP or subtract them from their enemies. Xelors usually deal great damage from a distance. Weakness Xelors are destitute in close combat and their attack spells are sometimes hard to use because of the angle or of their minimum range. Spells • Counter: reflects part of the damage inflicted to the caster. • Devotion: gives an AP bonus to a target during a short period of time. • Teleportation: teleports Xelors up to six cells away. • Mummyfication: transforms Xelors into mummies, which reduces the damage but also the MP. • Xelor’s Dial: summons a Dial (read p.26). • Hand: deals considerable Fire-type damage. • Temporal Dust: deals considerable Fire-type damage in area. • Clock: deals great Water-type damage. • Time Theft: steals AP from a target to the caster’s benefit. • Slow Down: subtracts one AP to the target. Being a Xelor, it’s also having… • 60 HP • 70 Initiative • A punch which deals 5 Fire-type damage or 7 on a Critical hit for 5AP.

Your characters' Health Points decrease when they bear damage (when hit by an enemy attack, for example). They increase when your characters heal themselves or are being healed (through a spell, a healing cell or thanks to an ally). If one of your characters’ numbers of HPs reaches zero, he’s dead until the end of the fight. He will however come back at the next fight. The number of Health Points you get when you start depends on the character class you chose. If all your fighters have 0 HP, you lose the fight.

Your characters’ numbers of Action Points determine their capacity to act. Executing an attack or casting a spell are actions that cost you Action Points. When your AP number reaches zero, your character can no longer act. APs are set to 6 AP for all fighters, but they can be boosted up to 12 through spells or equipments. All of your APs come back at the beginning of each turn. Before every action, the game tests if the action performed by your fighter is a critical failure, a critical hit or a normal hit. In the first case, the APs are lost and the action is not performed. In the second case, the effects of the action are considerably increased (for example, it inflicts more damage). In the last case, the action is performed normally.

Your characters’ Movement Points determine their potential of movement. Moving a fighter subtracts Movement Points from his MP capital. MPs are set to 3 for all fighters but they can be boosted up to 8 through spells and equipments. All of your MPs come back at the beginning of each turn

Block allows you to prevent an enemy from going away when he is in contact with one of your fighters. The latter forces him to stay next to him.

Some spells and weapons are more effective with a critical hit. This bonus increases the chance to do a critical hit. The Ecaflip spell Clover increases the critical bonus. The critical hit probability can not be increased by more than 100%.

They allow your fighter to increase the damage dealt to the enemies. However, damage can not be increased by more than 100%. All damage corresponds to an element: Air , Earth , Water , Fire . Equip your character with cards; they should increase the power of his weapons and spells!

The evasion allows you to leave a tackle area more easily.

If the initiative of one of your character is the highest of your team, you will play him first at every turn. If it is the highest of all teams in the fight, you will play this fighter at the very first turn of the fight. If several fighters have got the same amount of initiative points, a drawing of lots will decide between them. The initiative depends on the class of the fighte

Some fighters can summon creatures called “summons” in the game. They can only summon one creature at once on the battlefield. To summon another one or even the same one, they have to wait until the latter dies. Some spells or event cards allow you to summon several creatures on the battlefield. Tip An Osamodas summons animals, a Sadida summons dolls, a Xelor summons a Dial, and a Sram can summon a double of himself. Be careful besides some spells only work on summons!

The critical malus allows for increasing the chance to make a critical failure. The Ecaflip spell Rotten Luck increases the critical malus. A critical failure on an action means that the latter has failed. So, the APs are lost.

If your fighter wears equipment which reflects the damage, he will inflict to his opponent some of the damage he received. For example, if he has 10% in reflecting damage and loses 10HPs, he makes the character who attacked him lose 1HP. Reflecting damage can not be increased by more than 100%.

If your fighter has to bear the effects of a spell, there is a chance that the spell is reflected to the caster

They allow for reducing the damage bore by a fighter. Resistances can not be increased by more than 100%. Every resistance corresponds to an element: Air , Earth , Water , Fire.

This characteristic allows for increasing the power of heals. It is especially useful to Eniripsas. Sacriers and Ecaflips also heal, but in their own way which is pretty incisive! Tip: The “Life theft” spells (Sram, Sadida, Cra or Sacrier) are not considered as heals. To increase them, you have to take bonus to damage and not to heals.

It increases the range of some long-distance spells and of some weapons (bow, wand) of your fighter.

A fighter can have a pet, a Dofus, a weapon, a hat and a cloak with him. Each type of items brings its own advantages. Only the Dofus are not visible on the battlefield. However, you can see those carried by the other fighters by clicking on their portrait in the initiative toolbar in the top left-hand corner of your screen. Tip: If a fighter has a weapon that inflicts Fire-type damage, it’s in his best interest to wear items that give a bonus to Fire-type damage. He can also know a spell which increases Fire-type damage or have an ally who will increase his Fire-type damage. He will therefore keep his AP to hit. Specialization is often a good thing in Dofus-Arena!

Each class of fighter can choose from ten different spells. Followers belonging to the Pandawa’s Pint only have 8 because they drunk the other two and Sacriers only have 9 because they immolated the last one. A fighter can have up to five different spells on the battlefield. These spells are specific to a class. For example, a spell can allow you to deal damage, summon a creature, reduce the enemy’s MP, increase one of your fighters’ AP, become invisible and much more. Each effect is described on the corresponding spell card. Tip: Experienced players don’t buy more than three spells per battle. With 6 AP per turn, it is difficult to launch a lot of spells during the same turn

Every hit or cast spell is submitted to critical hits (CH) and critical failures (CF). The critical hit indications are displayed on the Weapon and Spell cards. A critical hit can deal considerable damage to the enemy or it can give you a super bonus. A critical failure is like walking on a banana peel. You lose APs, you miss the action and you make the opposite coach laugh his head off.

When a fighter strikes or casts a damage spell, he inflicts damage corresponding to a particular element (Air , Earth , Water , Fire ). Tip: Damage (apart from area and collision damage) is increased if you hit an opponent on the side (+15%) or from behind (+30%). That’s vile but very efficient! Damage is fixed or random for the Ecaflips. When they are random, they are calculated according to a virtual throw of the dice. For example, the spell Heads or Tails inflicts 2D6 points of random Earth-type damage and gives back 1D6 HP. The target can lose 2 to 12 HP and can gain 1 to 6 HP. Damage can be reduced or increased thanks to bonuses and resistances. All is in percentage. Calculating the damage follows a precise process. The game takes into account all of the types of bonuses as well as that of the resistances. For example, Pelethor (an Enutrof) hits Doubledose (an Eniripsa) on the side. His shovel deals 10 points of damage, which is the basis. He’s striking on the side so 15% is added to the damage. Besides, he has a 15% bonus to damage thanks to his equipment, making it a total of 30% bonus. However, Doubledose removes 10% of the damage thanks to a resistance given by the spell of an ally. In the end, Pelethor will deal 12 points of damage. Here’s the calculation: 10 (shovel) + 10 (shovel) * [(15% (side attack) + 15% (equipment)) – 10% (resistance)] = 12 If your calculation ends up with a decimal number, here is another example. Let’s say that the final score of Pelethor is 11.88. Then, he would have 88% chances to make 12 and 12% chances to make 11. Elements There are four of them: Air , Earth , Water , Fire . They allow you to know the nature of damage and resistances. Tip: Damage due to a collision (3 against a wall, 6 against the field limit) are fixed, unchangeable, and connected to the Earth element .

Spells and weapons have ranges. The range is of 1 cell for daggers, swords, hammers, shovels and staffs and up to 6 cells for bows and wands. For every spell, the range is different. It can be limited to the caster or to all the cells of the battlefield. Obviously, the obstacles lower the range of weapons and of some spells. Further in this guide, you’ll find all the precisions you need about range, elevation and obstacles.

A weapon or a spell can affect several cells. For example, a player who uses a hammer hits in a reversed T-shape right in front of him. The Iop spell Celestial Sword forms a cross and inflicts damage to all people situated in the area. Sometimes, an imprudent Iop will hit himself when casting the spell on an opponent too close to him. Anyway, it’s a Iop, and Iops are not said to be particularly wise…

Some spells and weapons can only be used if the target is aligned with the user, whereas others can shoot in corners.

A spell may not be suited to be cast at each turn or even many times a turn. There are many different cases: - Spells that can be cast only once a turn. It’s the case of the Iop spell Bravery Guide, for instance. Even if your fighter has enough AP, he can only cast it once a turn. - Spells that can be cast only once a turn on the same target. It’s the case of the Xelor spell Slow Down, for instance. At each turn, your fighter will be able to slow down a target A and then a target B, but he can’t slow down the same target A twice. - Spells that can be cast once per game. It’s the case of the Eniripsa spell Stimulating Word, for instance. Once cast, the effect of this spell will last during the whole fight, but the Eniripsa can not cast it again. In case of critical failure on such a spell, it’s not considered as cast and it can be cast again the next turn. - Spells that have a latent period. Indeed, some spells can not be cast again before x turns. This is the case of the Sadida spell Sacrificial Doll, for instance. You can only cast it every 3 turn which means that once the doll is cast, you must wait three turns before casting it again. To make it clearer, you’ll be able to cast it on the third turn, so that makes it two turns without casting it.

Choosing the right target to cast your spell upon is very important. Indeed, some of the spells can only be used on certain fighter categories, so be careful!

If you make a right click on a coach, you can suggest him a training session or you can also add him on your friend list or ignore him. The “ignore” option creates a blacklist of the persons from who you do not wish to receive messages anymore.
To access these lists, you need to open your chat. In the top right-hand corner, you’ll see a heart and a skull.
If you click on the heart, you’ll see the name of your friends. If one of them is online, then he’s name will be displayed in green. Then, you’ll just have to double click on it to talk to him, even if he’s on the other side of the island. You can also right-click on his name to invite him to a training session.

- It’s impossible to kill a fighter who has all of his Health Points, in one single hit. A fighter should not be able to defeat his opponent in a single sword blow in between his two eyes. Each eye should be put out separately by two different fighters. For instance, an Eniripsa can be hurt by a Iop who casts Iop’s Wrath and killed by a Sram who launches a Lethal Attack from behind. Lethal Trap is obviously an exception.
