⚔️Combat

A battle in Ancient Realms will consider several factors, but the likelihood of winning will ultimately be determined by your character's total gear score against the monster's difficulty level. Your final gear score can be affected by three things the combat triangle, rarity multipliers, (if applicable) and equipped gear score. The higher your final gear score the more likely you are to win a monster battle. Your odds of success can be estimated through a simple formula, found in this google sheet under "Victory Calculator".

Another important aspect of combat is your rarity multiplier. This bonus only activates when you have a full set of the same style of gear equipped. The rarity score of all applicable gear is averaged, and then multiplied by your gearscore. There may be times where the multiplier isn’t worth having, so it’s up to the player to optimize and find the best setup for them.

The combat triangle is the final thing that affects your gearscore. Ranged beats mage, mage beats melee, and melee beats ranged. Fighting a monster that is weak to your style will give you gearscore bonus, giving you an edge in combat.
