Types of attacks | Combat South Park: TSoT Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Your character has four basic offensive abilities. You can use only one per turn (in standard conditions). These are:

Abilities - special abilities that consume your PP (the blue bar). class exclusive;

Ranged attack;

Melee attack;

Magic - spells use up mana (the green bar), common for each class.

In most cases, the basic source of offensive attacks should be the abilities, but it may happen that you will be able to deal more damage with your weapon, if this is a really powerful one, or if it deal damage that the opponent is vulnerable to. The ranged weapons are used, mostly, to eliminate the opponents standing in the back row, which cannot be attacked with the melee weapon, and you use magic to immobilize and gross out the opponents.

Weapon attacks are divided into:

Basic attack - the regular weak attack. In exchange for that, you can perform it twice or three times (depends on the weapon). Useful mostly against shields. The shield is capable of withstanding a number of attacks, regardless of whether they are weak or strong ones. How much shield points an opponent has is displayed in the shield icon, next to the opponents health bar. By using basic attacks, you will be able to smash the shield without using up your most powerful attacks.

Power Attack - a strong, single attack that deals more damage than the regular attack. Used mainly against the armor. Symbolized by the helmet icon, next to the opponent's health bar. Only the strong attacks are capable of smashing the armor (from regular attacks, he will take damage of 1 only).

Magic attack - an attack reinforced with magic. The best combination that deals the most damage, in the majority of cases. If you are using a weapon and the enemy is not wearing a shield, use the magic attack (remember that it uses up mana), unless the opponent is resistant to being grossed out. Then, the power attack is more effective.
