GAMEPLAY: Combat

The world of Monato Esprit™ has been overrun by monsters that must be defeated in combat. When you left-click on a monster, its stat window will appear beside your own in the upper left corner of the screen. To attack a monster that you have targeted, left-click on it again or hit the space bar. Once a monster is defeated, you can left-click on the monster's corpse to open a window of loot items. Click on the loot items you wish to take, or simply click the "Take All" button. Looted items are added to your Inventory.

Most active skills and many consumable items are useful in combat. To use an offensive skill, click on its icon in your Quick Bar or Skill Menu. Most offensive skills will launch an attack at the monster you have targeted, but others can inflict damage in an area-of-effect. Other skills will grant you temporary combat benefits, such as an increase in HP or Defense. It's best to use these skills just before you enter combat. If you find yourself running low on HP or MP, you can use potions to instantly restore yourself. After you use a potion or skill, the icon will turn dark and become unusable for a short period of time. With practice, you'll learn how to time your use of potions and skills for maximum effect.
