Introduction to Combat
 

So, as you can tell we have a Battle System in play for this Event. This system was used during the Taskal War so all you veterans can skip this if you would like.

How do I battle other users?
Click the button on your page. Which button? This button: http://i55.tinypic.com/20k2mf.png

How well am I doing?
There's a leaderboard here: http://trisphee.com/leaderboard.php

What move beats what?
Good question, glad you asked. I'll gladly tell you.

Cloak&Dagger beats out Fists&Feet and Sword&Shield
Sword&Shield beats out Bow&Arrows and Fists&Feet
Fist&Feet beats out Tome&Spell and Bow&Arrows
Bow&Arrows beats out Cloak&Dagger and Tome&Spell
Tome&Spell beats out Sword&Shield and Cloak&Dagger

Why do I suddenly have one or two losses I don't even remember getting?
Well, what happens is even if you're not on the battle screen you can be drawn into battle without knowing. You may log out but the system sees that you're still online and throws you into battle. Of course you're not at your computer so you can't choose an option therefore you automatically lose. This happening is rare but it does happen.
The safest way I can suggest is after your last battle log out immediately. When you see the Victory or Defeat screen, just log out. That should help.

What happens at points when Trisphee is slow?
You mean when there's not a lot of people on? The system will pair you up with an NPC to face. It make take some extra time, I believe the maximum time to wait for a battle with an NPC is 5 minutes. If no one shows up in 5 minutes of waiting, an NPC will versus you.

If any more important questions are asked, I'll gladly update this.
Now get out and paint the walls red with blood.

Actually I fixed it so you shouldn't be fighting anyone on your side. :D

thanks coda, though can you fix it so we are less likely to lose to an opponent the system says we are not fighting?

I WAS going to say I thought it was just lag, but I think I may have found the bug.

With apologies to any battles I may have interrupted, I think it might be better now.

Edit: Or I might have broken it entirely... *tinker*

Edit: Okay, fixed. ^^()

Leaderboard!

Also with that bug fixed you should be able to leave the battlefield just by closing the window while you're waiting for a new fight. If you still have at least 20 seconds left on the cooldown you should be safe.

Cool... I was wondering if this was going to be a component, it did seem that way xD. I was just thinking about the taskal war.

I still battled a rebel, being a rebel my self, hour or so ago. xD

Is it just me, or is my new avi not showing in the battle system? It still show my old avatar.

It tends to do that in profile conversations, too.

For the profile, refreshing usually works. However, I'm still stuck with the old avi in the battle system.

Fixed.

Eh? Thank you, Coda >.<

Refreshing usually doesn't help with profile for me, but I know it will be fixed, so it doesn't bother me. xD

It might fix the profile one in the process maybe.

If only my mulie battles could get counted in... xD I would be in higher top, lol. xD But oh well.

Okay, NOW I think you should be assigned against the right factions. Minor little mistake!

Okay, we will see, I guess. C: Thank you. ^^

Coda, I have noticed that staff dun get to pick sides, but instead fight both sides. Is it safe to assume we're just bloodthirsty monsters then? XD

We're caught in the crossfire amidst two factions trying to break everything! *flees*

Quick Coda! Duct tape the servers! Glue together the forums! Put up electric fences!

Eat Lucids Brain! Realize she looks like a smoothie! DRINK!

er..wut? o.o

Thank you, Coda~

I'm in the right faction now. <3

Screw sides. Just break everything.

*steals lucids brain smoothie*

muahahahahaha

I'm going up pretty fast yesterday I was in the bottom

dude, there's a ranking? ::goes to look:: huh, not doing too bad...sooooooooooooooooo tempted to set up a spreadsheet...my not so inner nerd calleth

I don't know how I can do those pattern strategy thing

You can get a 50% average just by picking completely randomly. This also prevents anyone else from being able to detect YOUR patterns and gain an advantage over you.

Of course, this also means you can't do BETTER than 50%. The people who have really high averages try to guess what the other person will do based on factors like the appearance of their avatar, their username, their personality, and what has happened in previous battles with them.

I gots a stupid question, what does NPC stand for?

Non-Player Character

^_^ Yay learing!

LOL the only person I have to be random against is Ashurato...well...and Hermes(both of them are pretty non-linear) everyone else maps out pretty easily.

I keep fighting with Inari

it all depends on who's on the other side, and online...I get a lot of staff and a couple loyalists....
