For every additional combatant a player without special perks will get minus defence. It is possible in multi combat to fight with a maximum of eight opponents at the same time. When the path of combat is blocked, the monster is pinned but will not attack and the number of opponents is limited. This can be a very good strategy to limit the damage, get more control and survive longer in invaded maps. That means for a player without special perks, in a situation with 8 opponents, the defence will be reduced by 5 times 7. A player can loose additional 15 defence level when he or she has taken the ICD perk. This results in minus 50 defence in the worst case, which is dramatic for every player. Also take note that the loss of defence levels is not visible to the player. This is a minor drawback which could be fixed (with a few lines of code) to enhance the player experience. For multi combat, the TinF is highly recommended.
Item break[edit]
In multi combat the chance to break items due to the reduced defence and the high number of hits (damage) per unit time is also highly increased. For items that not only degrade but break in combat and which can not be immediatly replaced, this can mean death for a player. Best example RD+LM.
Invasions[edit]
The chance of death does not only increase with the type of monster in an invasion but with the number of opponents. Due to lower defence level many players underestimate the critical hit rate. It is extremely dangerous to be caught after using the Ring_of_Disengagement because the monster will attack simultaneous, which makes it impossible to distinguish the individual hits of each monster! The multiplied critical hits can surpass the players own maximum health which means certain death.
Combat perks[edit]
There are a few perks that have a positive effect in combat. These perks are:
| Fatal Man Perk | 7 PP |
| Body Piercing Perk | 7 PP |
| I Glow in the Dark Perk | 7 PP |
| Evanescence Perk | 5 PP |
| Mirror Skin Perk | 7 PP |
| There is no Fork Perk | 7 PP |
Especially a combination of the last 4 perks is very powerful in multi combat. Many high level player take it.
