* DropTheHammer: The most powerful melee weapon, but also the slowest one to hit. It is also carried by the Orc Tank and Barbarian Miner [=NPCs=] (though the latter rely more on their rocks). Hammers are also the only weapon that can damage the fort gate on its own, but the damage is still realistically low, and even an attack by 3-4 hammer wielders is unlikely to succeed unless the gate was already damaged by the explosives.

* AnAxToGrind: The default melee weapon. It is pretty balanced in range and damage, can do an unblockable ShockwaveStomp special attack, and is also useful for cutting down trees to obtain logs to repair.

Added DiffLines:

* MagicStaff: The Ice Staff, which anyone can use to fire icy projectiles. These deal the least damage out of all weapon attacks individually (1, equivalent to a kick or a roll), but the overall fire rate is so high that it's easy to overwhelm less-experienced players with these. It gets even easier if you manage to hit with a special attack first, which deals no damage, will freeze the enemy in place and leave them helpless against the ensuing barrage. Nevertheless, the projectiles are individually weak and don't travel very quickly, so they be dodged, blocked or even right back at the caster.

** In particular, Barbarians dash into the players going to melee them, and will throw rocks that stun players if they try to keep their distance, which is a real problem for an archer trying to line up a shot. Barbarian Miners will often follow up a stun from a rock by getting close and dropping a bomb, which can easily spell the end of the player right there.
* ArtificialStupidity: However, there are still some AI blind spots. For instance, it doesn't react to arrows or other projectiles passing near it if it hasn't already spotted the player. Sometimes, it's even possible to get a couple shots in on an unsuspecting AI character. If it's Barbarian, though, it may just be secretly preparing to throw a rock, which you'll only detect at the last moment.
** The AI archers spawned at the fort and other capturable buildings appear to have a weaker AI than the Orcs or Barbarians. Their behaviour is centered around shooting from behind the walls protecting them, which is reasonable enough. However, if they are ever knocked out of there (difficult for the archers at fort, pretty easy for those inside the house), they'll not know how to get back inside even if the threat has passed, and will just shoot at any nearby target, even if all their shots just get stuck in the walls of the very house protecting them.

*** The fort archers are located on the walls by default. If they get killed inside the fort and respawn on the ground, they'll again not know how to get back up. While they'll normally still shoot without too many problems, they can sometimes end up running outside the gate to shoot a fleeing target, after which their life expectancy is measured in seconds. Players that are on their side will often have to deploy the rare grappling hooks to drag them to their best spots on the walls.


Added DiffLines:

* YouGetKnockedDownYouGetBackUpAgain: Players and [=NPCs=] that are knocked down are subject to MercyInvincibility. Moreover, they'll automatically swing their weapon in an arc as they get back up if there's any enemy nearby, which deals 0,5 damage to them and knocks them down instead.

** There are also secondary houses that can be captured, though it's a lot less dramatic. You just gain an AI archer shooting at any enemies passing by, but for the other team, dislodging him is simply a matter of unlocking the door (and keys are extremely easy to obtain), then going in. You don't even have to defeat him inside: a kick or a roll will knock him outside and he won't know to get back in, allowing the player(s) to recapture the place unimpeded (assuming no enemy players show up, that is.)

*** Sometimes, you may even get lucky, and position yourself in such a way that all of the archers' shots will hit the flagpole, thus letting you capture the place in peace, upon which he immediately converts to your side (whereas the archers that got knocked out stay on the enemy team until they die and respawn). This is also advantageous because you don't have to knock him outside, where he'll be easier for the enemy players to kill (unless you expend a rare grappling hook to pull him back inside.)


Added DiffLines:

* EmoteCommand: Pressing T produces a wheel of words, from "attack" and "defend", to "ugh", "ok" and "bye". Picking one will result in your character saying it out loud for all the nearby players to hear, but won't show up in the chat, thus letting the players on the same team do basic communication without the risk of the rival team learning it immediately.


Added DiffLines:

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: New players often underestimate just how quickly does a bomb blow up after being placed down, and fail to get out of the blast range in time. Even the more experienced players can fall prey to this if they get stunned by a rock, or frozen by the ice staff's special move, right after dropping their bomb.
** Both arrows and the ice staff projectiles can either be blocked with a shield, or kicked right back. The latter is riskier, but has a chance of pulling off the latter for the unfortunate enemy shooter.


Added DiffLines:

* MirrorMatch: This can happen if the player quits the game only to rejoin it immediately, and be spawned on a different team. The characters of the players who quit the game do not disappear, but are instead taken over by a bot, and so you can potentially fight a copy, or even multiple copies of yourself in this manner.

* BlockingStopsAllDamage: Your shield will block all damage from melee attacks and from arrows or ice staff projectiles, including the special attacks, as long as it is facing in the right direction. However, a block can only be kept up for a few seconds. Moreover, someone blocking is still vulnerable to someone simply rolling into them, dealing a point of damage (when the default HP is 8 and the maximum is around 10) and knocking them down. It also offers no protection against the explosive attacks, or from the axe-wielders' ShockwaveStomp, since it travels along the ground.

* BladeOnAStick: The Spear. Deals limited damage, but attacks quickly, has the best reach out of melee weapons and can be used to vault over obstacles or away from the tight spots.
* BodyArmorAsHitPoints: Picking up body armor gives you 2 Armor points, that are subtracted from the damage taken.
* BottomlessPits: Present in some places, but can be jumped over.
* CrosshairAware: Whenever an explosive is dropped by someone, the area where it'll blow up is immediately highlighted. Dashing or rolling is fast enough to escape that area; simple movement is not.
* CrateExpectations: Crates are present in the Desert Fort mode, and are easily broken in order to find consumables.
* DieChairDie: Items like crates can be broken to find useful items like coins, health orbs or stamina orbs.
* DoppelgangerAttack: The Mirage Potion creates several clones of yourself, which will all move and attack in sync with you.
* DropTheHammer: The most powerful melee weapon, but also the slowest one to hit. It is also carried by the Orc Tank [=NPCs=].
** It is also carried by the Barbarian Miner [=NPCs=]. However, their most notable attack are the rocks they throw, as those will stun their target, and allow them to close in.
* DualWielding: Players can only do this with the Claws weapon, which deals the lowest damage per hit, and has the lowest range, but is also by far the fastest-hitting weapon.
** Orc Berserkers dual-wield two small axes. They are based on the removed Berserker loadout from the game's early days, which did the same.
* EscapeBattleTechnique: Spear users can use Spear Vault in such a manner.
* FriendlyFireproof: Averted. In particular, it's often possible for the archers to accidentally hit their allies in the back.
* GenderIsNoObject: A choice between a male and a female character only alters your looks and the yell your character lets out while charging. If you play without an account, it'll also alter whether the name will be automatically chosen out of a male or a female roster.
* GiantMook: The Barbarian Giant in the Desert Fort mode. He is large enough to be immune to knockdown, especially from players rolling into him, but is still not too powerful.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Orc Leaders in the Desert Fort mode carry golden axes, and drop those upon death. Those are obviously the most powerful weapon in the game, dealing 2,5 damage of a normal axe with no additional downsides.
* GroundPound: The special attack for the Hammer is to jump forward, and then slam it straight into the ground.
* HealingPotion: Present, but are hard to find. Players are more likely to heal through the healing orbs that generally drop from the defeated enemies instead.
* HeavilyArmoredMook: The hammer-wielding Orc Tanks wear heavy armor.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Swords are indeed one of the most popular weapons, due to both their fast attack speed, and hard-to-dodge SpinAttack special.
* InterchangeableAntimatterKeys: Orcs drop these, and they'll unlock any of the locked doors around the map exactly once, before disappearing.
* LargeAndInCharge: Orc Leaders in Desert Fort mode are larger than any normal Orc.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Shields protect you from regular attacks, projectiles and kicks, and the melee attacker will be stunned as a result. However, it'll not save you if the enemy rolls straight into you.
* NoPlotNoProblem: Outside of the EpilepticTrees-style guessing encouraged for the dark cave background location, there hasn't been a hint of a wider story.
* QuicksandSucks: A removed 1v1 Arena map had a quicksand pit that functioned in this manner.
* RegeneratingHealth: Played with; in the Desert Fort mode, the health regenerates...but only if the wounded player is standing next to a campfire, which must be fuelled with logs in order to keep burning.
** Yeti boss creature has regenerating health by default.
* ShieldBearingMook: Every melee-focused player carries a shield by default, so it's only fair that the Orc Warriors, Tanks and Orc Leader in the Desert Mode do the same. Same tactics apply in both cases. (Except for Orc Leader, since you can't roll into him to break his block.)
* ShockwaveStomp: The special attack of an axe, which lets out a shockwave straight ahead of your character, and damages the enemy players even if they are shielding themselves.
* SinisterScythe: Present, but only available on certain maps.
* SpinAttack: Sword's special move.
* SpikesOfDoom: Occasionally present, and are insta-kill if triggered.
* SprintMeter: One is present, and used for both movement and attacks. However, it quite large, and so is easy to ignore at first.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Any melee weapon can be thrown. You do get to inflict 150% normal damage if it hits: the downside is being reduced to your fists for the 15 seconds before it regenerates.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Here, it is a crucial part of the combat system. New players will often find it easier to damage others through rolling into them then through the conventional melee, where it is easy to get blocked or parried.
