gaia_nitemareleft Forum Battle FAQ - How To Play! gaia_nitemareright
How do I join a team?
Joining a team is super easy! You just go to the main Forum Battle page and you'll see a page with buttons that say "Join Jack" or "Join Easter Bunny's Team". Click the button of the team you want to be on and you should be added to the team.
Can I change my team?
At the present time, no, you unfortunately cannot change the team you are on so choose wisely!
Can I use my secondary account to join the other team and play there too?
Yes you can!
How do I attack?
To attack another player on the opposite team, you click the event menu button under their avatar to open the attack/heal modal. Once that is open, select an attack strength button (High, Mid, or Low) and click the button to launch the attack.
How will I know the results of my attack?
After clicking the attack strength button, you'll be redirected to a post in the thread that shows you the outcome of the attack such as how much damage you did, if there was a counter-attack, etc.
Why can't I use a specific attack strength - why does the button say 'This skill is not available" now?
If you do not have enough energy to use a specific attack strength, the button will display the "This skill is not available" text. You'll have to get your energy back before attacking again. You can wait for it to regenerate or use a potion!
You may also see the "This skill is not available" text if:
* The person you are trying to attack is on your own team
* If the person you are trying to attack is 3 levels or more lower than your level
How can I tell which team somebody belongs to?
The team name will be displayed under their avatar - look for it above their stats bars!
How do I heal?
You heal the same way you attack - through the event menu panel! Click the event menu button beneath an avatar and click the "Mid Heal" button to heal your teammate.
Can I heal myself?
Yes! Click the event menu button beneath your own avatar and then click the "Mid Heal" button to heal yourself! You can also go post in your team's home/safe forum and ask your teammates for healing help!
What do the stats bars mean?
The stats bars are visual indicators of your overall health and viability as well as your experience level.
Quote:
Green Bar: This is your health meter bar - it shows how much health, or life, you have left.
Blue Bar: This is your energy meter bar - it shows you how much energy to attack/heal you have
Orange Bar: This is your experience meter bar - It shows you how many experience points you have to go until you reach the next level.
How do I level up?
Leveling up is based on your experience points (the orange bar) in your stats! Each level has a set number of experience points you need to achieve before you move to the next level. Experience points are earned through successful attacks and heals.
How do I regain energy?
Energy regenerates slowly over time, so you can wait until it fills up again! If you cannot wait to get back into the fray, you can use an energy potion!
What are the potions and what do they do?
Potions help you in the game in a variety of ways! Some potions heal you and replenish your health; others refill your energy so you can get back to attacking and healing more quickly. There are even some specialty potions that grant special buffs or allow you to level up! Make sure to read the potion's description before using it so you know what its effects are!
How can I get more potions?
Potions can be purchased in the shops!
Cash Shop potions can be purchased in
La Victoire cash shop, and there is a link to the shop on the event landing page!
Gold shop potions can be purchased from Ian & Rufus in the
Barton Boutique shop!
How do I use potions?
Using potions is easy! To use a potion, you simply open your Event menu panel and click on the use items button. Then select the potion you want to use by clicking on it!
Where can I go to post but not be attacked?
Great question! For those of you who want to join the fun but not be attacked, you can hang out in your team's home forum! If you only post in here, and not in the main battle forum, you should not be attacked. You can just hang out and heal your wounded team members!

Can I attack another member of my team?
No you silly rabbit/pumpkin person, you cannot! Well, you could try, but it won't let you, and it would make you a bad team player!
Can I attack myself?
Uh, no.... why would you want to? Actually never-mind, we don't want to know...
Can I quit playing and not be on any team?
Sorry, but you cannot quit the Forum Battle once you've picked a team. You'll be stuck on that team until the battle is over.
Are there any safeguards in place to prevent someone who is a much higher level than me from attacking me and totally annihilating my health?
Actually yes, there are! If you are 3 or more levels higher than a player you are trying to attack, you attack will fail. This is to prevent newbie player abuse!
If I want to attack someone again, should I hit my back button to return to the previous page?
You can do this, but you'll need to refresh the page before attacking or it'll throw an error! If you want the page automatically refreshed with the player's stats, you should go to the page number at the bottom or top of the thread rather than hit the back button.
