Players may choose any of their currently equipped weapons to initiate combat with a monster, and may swap to any of their equipped weapons between attacks during combat. However, they may not change their equipped armor, transmogs, weapons or potions once combat has begun, nor cast any spell other than [[Sense]] and [[Immunity]].
Players may choose any of their currently equipped weapons to initiate combat with a monster, and may swap to any of their equipped weapons between attacks during combat. However, they may not change any part of their loadout, including transmogs, nor organize their inventory, once combat has begun. The player is also unable to any spell other than [[Sense]] and [[Immunity]].

Once combat has been initiated, the player will automatically retalite the monster after every hit. If a ranged weapon was chosen to begin combat, the player will automatically swap to a melee weapon upon running out of ammo as part of auto-retaliation. The game will select what it deems to be the most effective weapon from the player's current loadout based on the monster they are currently fighting.
