Combat basics

Your job determines which weapons and skills fit your character. Read required level and job restrictions before replacing equipment. Keep your health and skill resources visible in the HUD.

Open Skill from the main menu or with K. Review active and passive skills rather than judging a class by its weapon alone. Fourth-job guides explain the eight Eclipse Legacy paths and their signature skills.

PvE Damage and PvP Damage describe different combat contexts. Choose equipment for the activity you intend to play; a higher bonus in one context is not automatically better for the other.

Use the Character window and equipment family references together. Compare base ATK, useful effects and upgrade potential, rather than appearance alone.

Check your equipped weapon and the skills available to your job. Keep the recovery items you use on an action bar, watch HP and the resources required by your skills, and avoid opening large windows over the fight.

Use the Character window to inspect your current combat values and the monster view to check the target. If a skill cannot be used, check target, weapon and resource requirements before repeatedly activating it.
