corner of the screen.
You'll be taken to the character stat menu. On the left side of the

the right side, you will see your character's unique skill tree.
The attributes listed below improve your character's performance in
different ways. Roll your mouse over each attribute in the stats screen
to view a brief description of how it affects the game play. There are 6
primary attributes that you can invest points in every time you level
up. These attributes are listed below:
- Health - The life force; when you reach zero health, your character is knocked out.
- Energy - Energy is needed in order to perform most skills.
- Strength - Increases base damage of primary weapons and guns.
- Dexterity - Increases Defense; also increases chance to block.

There are also other stats that are affected by these primary attributes. These are:
- Focus - Improves robot damage for all attacks through an even distribution of stat points.
- Agility - Decreases as the character's health increases. Lower agility results in penalties to defense and resistance.
- Defense - Reduces damage taken from Physical attacks.

7. SKILLS
Your character's unique skill tree is found on the right side of the
stats menu. Each character class has a unique skill tree and can learn
12 unique skills. Skills are special abilities that your character can
use while in battle. Roll your mouse over each skill icon to discover
all of the abilities your character can eventually learn.
New players begin with three skills. You'll notice that the number
"1" appears in the lower right corner of each skill icon in your
character's first row of the skill tree. The number indicates the
current level of each skill your character has. If an icon is black and
white, and it does not display the level number in the lower-right
corner, your character does not yet have this skill.
8. EXPERIENCE
When you begin EpicDuel, you'll notice "Experience 0 / 40" in your
stats menu. The numerator "0" indicates the experience you currently
have, and the denominator "40" indicates the experience you need in
order to reach the next level. To earn experience, your character must
compete against other players in battle. In future releases, your
character will have multiple ways to earn experience.
NOTE: Your character can earn experience even if
you lose a battle as long as you remain until the conclusion of the
battle. If you leave for any reason before the battle completes, you
will earn no experience.
9. LEVEL
As you earn experience, your character will reach higher levels.
There are two ways to determine how much experience you need to reach
the next level.
- Click the "View Stats" button in the lower-left corner to view the "Experience" field.
- Look at the "View Stats" button, once the yellow color fills the orb, you have a level up available.
The "View Stats" button will says "Lvl+" when a level up is available
for your character. To apply the level up, click on the "View Stats"
button, and allocate the attribute points and skill points to the areas
you wish to improve. When you're ready, click the "Level Up" button to
apply the change.
NOTE: How you allocate your attribute and skill points is very important to how your character will perform in battle.

characters. Players earn credits by dueling, completing missions and

16. THE BATTLE ENGINE
A battle will begin when the system finds an appropriate match for
your character in the auto-match engine, or if you have challenged
another user, the battle will begin when the other player accepts your
challenge.

most fair way possible based on the level of the characters in battle.
The EpicDuel battle engine is turn-based, meaning that players take
turns issuing battle commands. When it is your turn, you will have 15

(consumes NO energy)

Gun or Auxiliary, performing an unblockable attack (consumes NO energy)
