{{DISPLAYTITLE:Combat (Slave Pits)}}''[[Slave Pits|Slave Pits]]''

Every fight in ''Slave Pits'' is a duel between two fighters, won by timing and by reading the opponent. The [[Slave Pits/Glossary|Glossary]] explains every term.

== The basics ==
* '''Three directions.''' Attacks and parries go left, middle or right; dodges go left or right. Red buttons [[Attack (Slave Pits)|attack]]. Blue buttons [[Parry (Slave Pits)|parry]], towards the '''same''' side as the incoming blow. Green buttons [[Dodge (Slave Pits)|dodge]], towards the '''opposite''' side.
* '''Taking turns.''' When both fighters are idle, the chance to attack passes back and forth between them. The defender has a short window to parry or dodge. Some weapons are easier to parry, others easier to dodge.
* '''Timing.''' Every button shows an animation with a yellow centre: the closer to the centre you press, the better the result. A perfect attack is a critical [[Hit (Slave Pits)|hit]].
* '''After the exchange.''' A [[Chain (Slave Pits)|chain]] lets the fighter who has just landed a hit attack again at once. A [[Risposte (Slave Pits)|riposte]] lets a fighter who has just parried strike straight back.
* '''[[Pressure (Slave Pits)|Pressure]].''' It builds while nobody lands a blow, and makes everything faster.

== Three bars ==
* '''[[Life (Slave Pits)|Life]]''': lose it and you lose the fight.
* '''[[Stamina (Slave Pits)|Stamina]]''': pays for attacks and defences.
* '''[[Balance (Slave Pits)|Balance]]''': dodging spends it.

== Turning a fight ==
* '''[[Vulnerable spot (Slave Pits)|Vulnerable spot]].''' One direction is marked on the opponent, and hitting it deals extra damage.
* '''[[Surge (Slave Pits)|Surge]].''' The orange bar fills as you take damage. When it is full you can spend it: by default it restores stamina and balance, and some talents turn it into a special effect instead.
* '''[[Combo (Slave Pits)|Combos]].''' Sequences of actions in a strict order that end in an attack, such as a dodge followed by an attack on the same side. Talents unlock them.
* '''Effects.''' Buffs help you: [[Rage (Slave Pits)|Rage]], [[Frenzy (Slave Pits)|Frenzy]], [[Ready (Slave Pits)|Ready]], [[Charged (Slave Pits)|Charged]] and [[Adrenaline (Slave Pits)|Adrenaline]]. Debuffs hurt you: [[Stunned (Slave Pits)|Stunned]], [[Bleeding (Slave Pits)|Bleeding]], [[Exhausted (Slave Pits)|Exhausted]] and [[Weakened (Slave Pits)|Weakened]].
* '''[[Scenario (Slave Pits)|Scenarios]].''' Special fights that hinder only you: caltrops make dodging harder, a cage makes parrying harder, barricades soak up your damage until they break, and hot coal burns you for every imprecise action.
* '''Thrown items.''' A [[Throwing shard (Slave Pits)|Throwing shard]], [[Klag powder (Slave Pits)|Klag powder]] or a [[Combat net (Slave Pits)|Combat net]] can be thrown during the fight.

== Building a fighter ==
* '''[[Slave Pits/Weapons|Weapons]].''' One-handed weapons pair with an off-hand weapon or a shield, and each off-hand gives its own bonus. Two-handed weapons hit harder and are harder to parry, but easier to dodge.
* '''[[Slave Pits/Armor|Armor]]''' reduces damage, but costs stamina and slows you.
* '''[[Slave Pits/Tier|Tier]].''' Equipment comes in wood, carapace and iron. A weapon of a higher tier hits harder, unless the opponent's armour is as good or better.
* '''[[Slave Pits/Talents|Talents]]''' are bought with [[Reputation (Slave Pits)|reputation]]: five basic talents with three levels each, and many more that open up when their requirements are met.
* '''[[Slave Pits/Constellations|Constellations]]''' are suggested groups of talents, each a way to fight.
* '''[[Slave Pits/Services|Services]]''' are bought before a fight: thrown items, equipment upgrades, care for your wounds, rumours about your opponent, and more.
