Monsters have [[element]]al vulnerabilities or immunities to certain [[Attack Style]]s. Most monsters are neutral and shown with an orange color, but some monsters are red and aggressive. When attacking, players choose a weapon to attack the monster. They can swap through equipped weapons between attacks, but cannot change equipped armor, equipped weapons, or equipped potions during combat. Players can move but not interact with other objects, scenery, dropped items, or sort/move [[backpack]] items during combat. They must end the combat either by winning or use the [[Immunity]] spell.
 
After every weapon hit, a white indicator will appear on its card indicating the duration of its attack animation, after which all weapons will be darkened and placed on a global cooldown (GCD). The duration of this GCDglobal cooldown is dependent on the weapon that was used to perform the previous hit. Switching weapons during the GCDglobal cooldown will ensure the next hit is performed with the new weapon without delay. A weapon's attack speed is the sum of both its animation and its GCDglobal cooldown durations.
 
Killing a monster rewards [[experience]], [[coin]]s, and has a chance to drop items of variable [[rarity]] and randomisedrandomized stats. Otherwise, reaching 0 hitpoints in combat will cause the player to [[death|die]] and respawn in the [[Hopeport]] infirmary. Other than lost time and being forcibly moved to the respawn point, there appear to be no other consequences for reaching 0 hitpoints.
