The great secret to combat is in alignment(or multipliers).
Every attack can either cause a buff or debuff or deal double damage for attack of the same color.
So what you want is to align an attack to cause the biggest damage of the same color.
A simple example is while you have furry(2x red) while the enemy is unbalanced(2x red) and the enemy is blocking(2x red) if you strike it with a roundhouse special skill(lots of damage) he is toast.
You can kill pretty high level monsters with this.

To defend yourself want to use halve damage buffs and debuffs.
Slow and steady is also good for more manageable opponents.
You generally only want to strike with same attack color as their defense only when you have so power backing you(multipliers).
For defense I usually leave it green since you get a buff at the start of combat with this character(from fetish or vigor?)
"
===Combat Basics===
Both the slaver and their enemy have 3 colored hearts that dictate their status. When any of them reach 0 or less the fight is over. Going into a fight with 1 energy

* Red heart for health - person dies. Starting value based on Strength.
* Green for stamina - person collapses and is unable to continue fighting. Starting value based on Energy. Damage may reduce Energy.
* Purple for morale - person flees combat. Starting value based on Personality. Damage may reduce Mood.

Different weapons and attacks have different effects on the hearts, for example a whip doesn't do much physical damage (red heart), but causes a lot of pain so decreases morale (purple heart).

In general, unarmed attacks and blunt weapon attacks don't do HP damage and so cannot kill an opponent in this game, while slashing and piercing damage do hp damage and therefore can kill your opponents. 
("Roundhouse Kick" is not necessarily an unarmed attack despite the name; it does whatever type of damage is dealt by the main-hand equipped weapon at the time it is used - so if main-hand weapons are removed to reveal the jab and uppercut attacks, "Roundhouse Kick" deals nonlethal damage like any other unarmed attack.) 

In border of the fogs, enemies (especially minion-types) might die regardless of which heart is reduced to zero.

If a weapon-type damages certain heart-gauges at all, it affects all damaged heart-gauges to the same degree. 

The fact that attacks and defences have colours which correspond EXACTLY to the colours of the heart-gauges is irrelevant and potentially misleading. Red attacks do not do damage to the hp gauge especially or necessarily, while blocking (a red defence) does not either protect or expose the hp gauge particularly. 
For example, whips ONLY do Morale damage, and yet they ONLY have red and green attacks. 

Armour works by applying a flat minus after all other modifiers have already been applied, though attacks always deal at least 1 damage. 
So if for example the damage-type dealt is slashing, and the armour has 5 resistance against slashing, you will take 5 less damage than you would otherwise take. Attacks that would have dealt 6 damage deal 1, and attacks (eg doubled by defence-type or buffs) that would have dealt 12 damage deal 7, etc, but attacks that would have dealt 1 damage still deal 1. 

One special trait of minion-types is that they are the only enemy-type that you can miss: you have to apply modifiers so that you would be doing at least double damage to the minion in order to hit. 

Note: 

There seems to be something extremely strange in the armour code or somesuch thing: if you wear, for example, Gothic Plate for a few fights, it seems that the armour bonus becomes innate to you, so even if you take the armour off you still take less damage. And if you keep the armour on, you continue to take less and less damage over time. Something about the Slaver's defence values is extremely unclear. (Tested in Sandbox mode.)

===Offense and Defense===
Underneath the portrait of both combatants is the type of defense and a list of any buffs/debuffs that character has.
If you attack (or get attacked) by a type with the same color the attacker gets a 2x damage multiplier in addition to any multipliers gain from status effects.
You can cycle your own defensive type by clicking the arrow next to it and take advantage of any defensive buffs you might currently have or to avoid offensive buffs on your enemy.

You also have the option to defend to remove all harmful status effects and restore some stamina.

When it comes to attacks and defence-styles, red stands for heavy attacks, green stands for swift attacks, and purple stands for precise attacks, while the colour of a defence-style shows the attack-type against which it is WEAKEST in terms of pure damage.

When a ''regular'' attack-type (as opposed to a special technique) encounters a defence-style, the wheel of effects is as follows: 
Block (Red Defence): Purple attacks buff attackers, green attacks debuff defenders, and red attacks doubly damage defenders. 
Evade (Green Defence): Red attacks buff attackers, purple attacks debuff defenders, and green attacks doubly damage defenders. 
Counterattack (Purple Defence): Green attacks buff attackers, red attacks debuff defenders, and purple attacks doubly damage defenders. 

As can be seen and used as a mnemonic by looking at the colours of your 3 always-available unarmed attacks: the attack which is one step above the defence colour will buff, the attack which is two steps above will debuff. 

Note: 
1) The in-game description of blocks is incorrect: speed attacks debuff the defender as noted above, as opposed to buffing the attacker as the in-game description suggests. 

2) The Baseball bat's "knock out" red regular attack has no effect on purple defences: as an inexplicable anomaly, this must be an oversight.

===Injuries===
The slaver's condition going into and coming out of a fight will carry over. If you go in with lots of energy, you'll have a higher green heart. If you're not trained for combat and have poor health, or have been previously injured, you'll have a low red heart. Coming out of a fight with low health (red heart) will leave you injured and hamper both your mood and energy recovery until it's healed.

Injuries will heal naturally over time, but you can speed up the process by going to the Medical Center and paying sparks relative to the degree of injury, or consuming [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Alchemy#Miracle_Balm|healing balms]] made through alchemy, which will heal the injury by one rank per application. The best option, however, is to use a healing balm in combat right before finishing off your opponent. 

On a similar note, when the Slaver fights rebellious slaves, injuries can result depending on the kinds of weapons used. 
Bruises and "traces of beatings" which severely decrease beauty can result to a slave, and stamina damage to a slave translates to much less energy being available post-beating to that slave. 

Whips and other morale-damage-only weapons are therefore potentially the best types to use in slave-fights if one has skill with them, because 
(1) they do not leave bruises or traces of beatings, unlike other types of weapons, and because 
(2)they do not decrease the energy of the defeated slave, unlike weapons which do stamina damage. 

Naturally, unless the slaver happens to be of a particularly sadistic bent, this is the quintessential time to avoid using slashing, piercing, or other fatal-damage type weapons, because a mis-step with any fatal-damage type weapon can easily result in the slaver killing his slave.

===Buffs and Debuffs===
Every regular attack has 3 possible outcomes depending on the defensive style of your opponent.

If the color of the attack (Power, Speed Precise) matches the color of the defense (Block, Evade Counter), double damage is dealt. 
If it deviates, the attacker receives a buff or the defender a debuff.

{| class=wikitable
|-
! vs

| 2x damage || Buff attacker || Debuff defender
|-
! Speed
| Debuff defender || 2x damage || Buff attacker
|-
! Precise
| Buff attacker || Debuff defender || 2x damage
|-
|}

A buff will either double damage dealt with a style of attack, or halve damage received from that style. 
A debuff will either half damage dealth with a style of attack, or double damage received from that style.

Whether the applied buff or debuff is the offensive or defensive variant depends on weapon or special skill used (see weapon stats below).

===Special Techniques===
Special Techniques are powerful attacks with special effects that can only be used once each per battle.

They are taught by Lanista at the Coliseum. 
The total number you can learn depends on your Fighter skill: 1 at Brawler (D-), 2 at Brawler (D-) while wearing an Aketon, 3 at Duelist (C-), and 4 at Combatant (B+) and beyond.

The cost to train increases with each skill learned: $10, $40, $90, $160
Some abilities are always available, while others require a specific weapon type. Learning an ability requires at least 3* of [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Energy|energy]] and will take all day.

===Weapon Types and abilities===

Weapons must be equipped, and can then be chosen to be wielded at the start of combat. 
At the cost of a turn, the wielded weapons can be changed to any other set of equipped weapons during combat.

Which weapons are wielded determine the available attacks. 
The weapon chosen first (main-hand weapon) contributes both of its attacks to the moveset, the second (off-hand) weapon contributes only its first attack. 
Equipping an off-hand weapon identical to the main-hand weapon grants no benefits and wastes the third weapon attack slot.

In addition to these up to three weapon attacks, the three basic attacks are also available for a maximum of 6 regular attacks to choose from during combat.

====Damage types====

Weapon damage comes in four types: Slashing, Piercing, Blunt, and Morale. 

Which damage type is dealt is defined exclusively by the weapon used. 
The different attack types (Power, Speed, Piercing) use the same color scheme, but are completely unrelated to damage type.

Slashing and Piercing damage is dealt to ❤ Vitality, ❤ Stamina, and ❤ Morale. 
They are therefore the most useful damage types for defeating enemies, but since ❤ Vitality damage causes wounds and scarring, and can even kill, it should never be used on a rebellious slave.

Blunt damage is dealt to ❤ Stamina and ❤ Morale. 
This is less versatile than Slashing/Piercing, but will never kill an opponent. Keep in mind, though, that ❤ Stamina damage still causes bruising and drains energy, and can therefore severely reduce the Beauty and Endurance of a rebellious slave.

Morale damage is dealt only to ❤ Morale. 
It is therefore the least versatile damage type and least capable of defeating enemies, but it causes no lasting harm to rebellious slaves.

Damage types are resisted differently by different types of armor.

(Elemental damage also exists in the system, but is unused with the exception of the Dragon Fire Staff Relic which deals Fire damage. Fire damages all 3 health types.)

====Damage stats====

Weapon damage often depends on the stats of the wielder. This is calculated differently for Masters and Slaves, and differently still by slave age.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stat !! Master !! Slave (Young) !! Slave (Milf) !! Slave (Loli)
|-
| Strength || Strength (0 to 5) || Endurance (0 to 5) + Gladiatrix affinity (-1 to 1) || Endurance (0 to 5) + Gladiatrix affinity (-1 to 1) +1 || 2/3 * (Endurance + Gladiatrix affinity) + Gladiatrix affinity
|-
| Fighting || Fighting skill (0 to 5) ||colspan=3| Gladiatrix skill (0 to 5) + Gladiatrix affinity (-1 to 1)
|-
| Whip || Flagellation skill (0 to 5) ||colspan=3| Gladiatrix skill (0 to 5) + Gladiatrix affinity (-1 to 1)
|}

====Basic attacks====

Basic attacks are always available regardless of which weapon you're currently using.

They deal Strength + 0 Blunt damage.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Attack !! Type !! vs Block !! vs Evade !! vs Counter
|-
| Kick || Power || 2x || ⛊ Attention || ⛉ Stunned
|-
| Push || Speed || ⛉ Distraction || 2x || ⛊ Adrenaline
|-
| Sweep || Precise || ⛊ Evasion || ⛉ Unsteadiness || 2x
|}

====Unarmed attacks====

Unarmed "weapons" encompass only the Fist, a special weapon that is equipped by default in the right and left hand if no other weapon is equipped in these slots.

Unlike basic attacks, the fist has to be equipped and explicitly wielded like any other weapon to be used in combat.

Unlike other weapon types, a fist in the off-hand contributes no attacks. 
It can, however, be used as a primary weapon and supplemented with another weapon in the off-hand.

Only the Vatican Champion uses magical attacks (and only fire), therefore only the first three defense modifiers matter.

==Tips==
If your Strength is very low, consider which weapon you choose
*If you can afford them, the Mace and Greataxe will do high base damage even with low strength, and the Rapier will do 6 damage regardless of stats.
*If your Flagellation skill is much higher than Strength, consider the Whip and/or Lash which do damage based on that skill instead.
*If every spark counts, go for the Dagger or Butcher's Cleaver, which do respectable damage even though they're cheap.
*You can raise Strength through Sparring in the Colosseum or [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Slaver#Strength|through other daily activities]]
** It took about 3 sparrings vs Unarmed slave to raise Strength from Weak to Unfit, 10 sparrings vs Wardress to go from Unfit to Strong
*Buy an Aketon ASAP and make sure to equip it before combat, it's only $10.
*If you start without armor, you can have Isabella unequip her Leather Armor and wear it for at least a little protection at start.

==Devastating Combo (single target)==
*Equip a Flamberge.
*Hit the enemy with a Dashing strike for Unsteadiness[99] (2x red damage)
*Use Battle Cry to gain Fury (also 2x red damage)
*Attack with Short Blow until they defend by Blocking (Red defence, thus 2x red damage)
*Hit them with Roundhouse Kick for 200 damage.
*Wipe the blood off your clothes.

Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Alchemy

2022-11-11T19:46:19Z

Normandy66: /* Water of Lethe */ Clarified effects and cleaned up tips.

{{Jack-o-nine}}
==General==

* Needs the player to rent a lab under "Extended Rental"
* Needs Alchemy skill from a slave or assistant. The player's own magic skill determines how high he can train a slave in alchemy, but for some utterly inexplicable reason, in the base game the Slaver cannot mix potions for himself. Even if a lab is rented, when the player has no slaves or assistants, the lab option will simply disappear.
* Most ingredients available from Rarity of Mystra in Outsider Quarter
* All potions need a "basis". This can be
** Spring Water - free and always available
** Alcohol - bought at the [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Locations/White_Town#Trade_Square|Gastronomicon]] can also be brewed accidentally in the lab. Raises mood by 1 for each use, up to +2 and lowers it the next morning. Third dose for slaver and second for slave causes sleep.
** Fog Fiend Mucus - harvested when your [[Jack-o-nine/Fiend|fiend]] grows

==Raw Ingredients==

* Elysian Datura - Relaxes. Adds 1 mood, very slowly drains intelligence if used by slave.
* Kamarian Resin - Refreshes. Adds 1 energy
* Faeries' Pollen - Stimulant. Sets energy to 5, slowly drains strength with each use. Second dose in a day causes instant death if slaver and unconsciousness if slave.
* Essence Of Oblivion - Dulls pain and fear. Boosts mood, slowly drains strength with each use. Second dose in a day causes instant death if slaver and unconsciousness if slave.

All can be consumed directly, but may have side effects. Potions are apparently safer.

==Bacchus' Nectar==
Skill level - D/Pink

'''Needs:'''

*Spring Water
*Kamrian Resin
*Faeries' Pollen
*Essence Of Oblivion

'''Effect:'''

*Drunkeness - mood bonus, not stacking with drugs, no observable addiction chance
*Raises Arousal
*in combat - adds morale, removes the "severe pain", "weakness" and "stiffness" states. Gives the "fury", "adrenaline" and "distraction" states.

'''Notes'''

From the description when the potion is created:

''The imbiber will feel a surge of courage and joy. Very useful to raise a person's morale''

==Tonic Elixir==
Skill level - C/purple

'''Needs:'''

*Strong Alcohol
*Kamrian Resin
*Faeries' Pollen
*Essence Of Oblivion

'''Effect:'''

*Recovers energy - +1 energy point, stacking with massage
*in combat - recovers stamina and adds morale. Removes the "weakness" state. Gives the "acceleration" and "attention".

'''Notes:'''

*Recipe is the same as for Bacchus' Nectar, except for the Basis
*''"Abuse can lead to tragic consequences"'' -- Mystra
* Each use out of combat on the same day increasingly drains strength.
* Using it in combat does not seem to drain strength.

==Miracle Balm==
Skill Level - B/Blue

'''Needs:'''

*Fog Fiend Mucus
*Kamrian Resin
*Faeries' Pollen
*Essence Of Oblivion

'''Effect:'''

*Can be used outside of combat too but is less effective.
*Heals all wounds in combat, adds energy and morale, removes the "severe pain" state.

'''Notes:'''

*Recipe is the same as for Bacchus' Nectar, except for the Basis

==Aphrodisiac==
Skill level - C/Purple for normal, B/Blue for powerful

'''Needs:'''
*Strong alcohol for normal/Fiend's mucus for powerful
*Elysian Datura
*Kamrian Resin
*Faeries' Pollen

'''Effect:'''

*Stimulates Feelings
*Raises Arousal

'''Notes:'''
*Strength varies with Basis
*Can't brew it with water

==Water of Lethe==
Skill level - S+/Green for water based. Using stronger bases lowers required skill level: A for Alcohol, B for fiend's mucus.

'''Needs:'''
*Any Base
*Elysian Datura
*Kamrian Resin
*Essence of Oblivion

'''Effect:'''

* Clears aural stats - Arousal, Fear, Despair, Awareness, Taming, Habit, Spoiling, Devotion
** Obedience is a derived stat, and is not affected directly. However, Fear, Awareness, Taming, Habit, and Devotion are the mayor contributors to obedience, so a trained slave stands to lose most if not all of her Obedience.
* Removes all temporary moodlets, resetting mood to calm if there are no persistent moodlets such as from clothing.
* Greatly lowers a slave's Intelligence (-40, usually enough to drop a level).
* Has no effect on skills or other stats.
* If the slaver drinks it, it removes the slaver's moodlets, but has no other effects.

This potion can be a useful tool for clearing Spoiling and Despair in an emergency, potentially saving a slave from mind-breaking if her Despair has reached dangerous levels. But it comes at the cost of the slave's Obedience training and Intelligence. 
It can make a newly aquired slave easier to work with by clearing her negative moodlets and Spoiling with most of the negative consequences not mattering. Note however, that this still lowers her Intelligence and thus overall quality.

The potion has no beneficial effect on an already mind-broken slave, as that condition depends entirely on Nature, Temperament, and Pride - none of which the potion affects.

Normandy66: Big overhaul of weapon types and abilities. Both visual overhaul and various new information, such as damage types. Also correction of various outdated damage numbers. I did not double check the Buffs/Debuffs associated with every weapon though.

{{Jack-o-nine}}

The great secret to combat is in alignment(or multipliers).
Every attack can either cause a buff or debuff or deal double damage for attack of the same color.
So what you want is to align an attack to cause the biggest damage of the same color.
A simple example is while you have furry(2x red) while the enemy is unbalanced(2x red) and the enemy is blocking(2x red) if you strike it with a roundhouse special skill(lots of damage) he is toast.
You can kill pretty high level monsters with this.

To defend yourself want to use halve damage buffs and debuffs.
Slow and steady is also good for more manageable opponents.
You generally only want to strike with same attack color as their defense only when you have so power backing you(multipliers).
For defense I usually leave it green since you get a buff at the start of combat with this character(from fetish or vigor?)
"
===Combat Basics===
Both the slaver and their enemy have 3 colored hearts that dictate their status. When any of them reach 0 or less the fight is over. Going into a fight with 1 energy

* Red heart for health - person dies. Starting value based on Strength.
* Green for stamina - person collapses and is unable to continue fighting. Starting value based on Energy. Damage may reduce Energy.
* Purple for morale - person flees combat. Starting value based on Personality. Damage may reduce Mood.

Different weapons and attacks have different effects on the hearts, for example a whip doesn't do much physical damage (red heart), but causes a lot of pain so decreases morale (purple heart).

In general, unarmed attacks and blunt weapon attacks don't do HP damage and so cannot kill an opponent in this game, while slashing and piercing damage do hp damage and therefore can kill your opponents. 
("Roundhouse Kick" is not necessarily an unarmed attack despite the name; it does whatever type of damage is dealt by the main-hand equipped weapon at the time it is used - so if main-hand weapons are removed to reveal the jab and uppercut attacks, "Roundhouse Kick" deals nonlethal damage like any other unarmed attack.) 

In border of the fogs, enemies (especially minion-types) might die regardless of which heart is reduced to zero.

If a weapon-type damages certain heart-gauges at all, it affects all damaged heart-gauges to the same degree. 

The fact that attacks and defences have colours which correspond EXACTLY to the colours of the heart-gauges is irrelevant and potentially misleading. Red attacks do not do damage to the hp gauge especially or necessarily, while blocking (a red defence) does not either protect or expose the hp gauge particularly. 
For example, whips ONLY do Morale damage, and yet they ONLY have red and green attacks. 

Armour works by applying a flat minus after all other modifiers have already been applied, though attacks always deal at least 1 damage. 
So if for example the damage-type dealt is slashing, and the armour has 5 resistance against slashing, you will take 5 less damage than you would otherwise take. Attacks that would have dealt 6 damage deal 1, and attacks (eg doubled by defence-type or buffs) that would have dealt 12 damage deal 7, etc, but attacks that would have dealt 1 damage still deal 1. 

One special trait of minion-types is that they are the only enemy-type that you can miss: you have to apply modifiers so that you would be doing at least double damage to the minion in order to hit. 

Note: 

There seems to be something extremely strange in the armour code or somesuch thing: if you wear, for example, Gothic Plate for a few fights, it seems that the armour bonus becomes innate to you, so even if you take the armour off you still take less damage. And if you keep the armour on, you continue to take less and less damage over time. Something about the Slaver's defence values is extremely unclear. (Tested in Sandbox mode.)

===Offense and Defense===
Underneath the portrait of both combatants is the type of defense and a list of any buffs/debuffs that character has.
If you attack (or get attacked) by a type with the same color the attacker gets a 2x damage multiplier in addition to any multipliers gain from status effects.
You can cycle your own defensive type by clicking the arrow next to it and take advantage of any defensive buffs you might currently have or to avoid offensive buffs on your enemy.

You also have the option to defend to remove all harmful status effects and restore some stamina.

When it comes to attacks and defence-styles, red stands for heavy attacks, green stands for swift attacks, and purple stands for precise attacks, while the colour of a defence-style shows the attack-type against which it is WEAKEST in terms of pure damage.

When a ''regular'' attack-type (as opposed to a special technique) encounters a defence-style, the wheel of effects is as follows: 
Block (Red Defence): Purple attacks buff attackers, green attacks debuff defenders, and red attacks doubly damage defenders. 
Evade (Green Defence): Red attacks buff attackers, purple attacks debuff defenders, and green attacks doubly damage defenders. 
Counterattack (Purple Defence): Green attacks buff attackers, red attacks debuff defenders, and purple attacks doubly damage defenders. 

As can be seen and used as a mnemonic by looking at the colours of your 3 always-available unarmed attacks: the attack which is one step above the defence colour will buff, the attack which is two steps above will debuff. 

Note: 
1) The in-game description of blocks is incorrect: speed attacks debuff the defender as noted above, as opposed to buffing the attacker as the in-game description suggests. 

2) The Baseball bat's "knock out" red regular attack has no effect on purple defences: as an inexplicable anomaly, this must be an oversight.

===Injuries===
The slaver's condition going into and coming out of a fight will carry over. If you go in with lots of energy, you'll have a higher green heart. If you're not trained for combat and have poor health, or have been previously injured, you'll have a low red heart. Coming out of a fight with low health (red heart) will leave you injured and hamper both your mood and energy recovery until it's healed.

Injuries will heal naturally over time, but you can speed up the process by going to the Medical Center and paying sparks relative to the degree of injury, or consuming [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Alchemy#Miracle_Balm|healing balms]] made through alchemy, which will heal the injury by one rank per application. The best option, however, is to use a healing balm in combat right before finishing off your opponent. 

On a similar note, when the Slaver fights rebellious slaves, injuries can result depending on the kinds of weapons used. 
Bruises and "traces of beatings" which severely decrease beauty can result to a slave, and stamina damage to a slave translates to much less energy being available post-beating to that slave. 

Whips and other morale-damage-only weapons are therefore potentially the best types to use in slave-fights if one has skill with them, because 
(1) they do not leave bruises or traces of beatings, unlike other types of weapons, and because 
(2)they do not decrease the energy of the defeated slave, unlike weapons which do stamina damage. 

Naturally, unless the slaver happens to be of a particularly sadistic bent, this is the quintessential time to avoid using slashing, piercing, or other fatal-damage type weapons, because a mis-step with any fatal-damage type weapon can easily result in the slaver killing his slave.

===Buffs and Debuffs===
Every regular attack has 3 possible outcomes depending on the defensive style of your opponent.

If the color of the attack (Power, Speed Precise) matches the color of the defense (Block, Evade Counter), double damage is dealt. 
If it deviates, the attacker receives a buff or the defender a debuff.

{| class=wikitable
|-
! vs

| 2x damage || Buff attacker || Debuff defender
|-
! Speed
| Debuff defender || 2x damage || Buff attacker
|-
! Precise
| Buff attacker || Debuff defender || 2x damage
|-
|}

A buff will either double damage dealt with a style of attack, or halve damage received from that style. 
A debuff will either half damage dealth with a style of attack, or double damage received from that style.

Whether the applied buff or debuff is the offensive or defensive variant depends on weapon or special skill used (see weapon stats below).

===Special Techniques===
Special Techniques are taught by Lanista at the Coliseum, and you can learn up to 4, 1 per level of current Fighter skill. The cost to train increases with each skill learned: $10, $40, $90, $160
Some abilities are always available, while others require a specific weapon type. Learning an ability requires at least 3* of [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Energy|energy]] and will take all day.

*Roundhouse Kick - Red ability that does base damage + 3 (before modifiers). Always available, but only 1 use per fight. Does the same type of damage as the equipped main-hand weapon.
*Swift Blow - Green Multi-target ability that hits two targets for double damage. Requires a slashing weapon. One use per fight.
*Battle Cry - Purple ability that deals 10 morale damage while giving yourself a 20 morale boost. Grants Fury[4]. Always available, but only 1 use per fight.
*Heavy Blow - Red ability that causes Stun [4] and deals double damage. Requires a blunt weapon. One use per fight.
*Dashing Blow - Green ability that causes Unsteadiness[2] and deals double damage. Requires a slashing weapon. One use per fight.
*Precise hit - Purple ability that does double damage and causes Distraction[4]. Requires a piercing weapon. One use per fight.
*Riposte - Purple ability that does double damage, grants Evasion[4] and restores 5 (red) health. Requires a piercing weapon. One use per fight.
*Face Butt - Red ability that does double damage and causes Weakness[4]. Requires a blunt weapon. One use per fight.

[Glitch note in the standard build 1-2-1: 

If you lose a colosseum battle with weapon-type specific special techniques available and unutilised, sometimes the special techniques glitch, and permit you thereafter to use them with inappropriate weapons. When this happens, you can also use them without limit, until you use them with an appropriate weapon. 
Upon using them with an appropriate weapon, they are once again correctly unusable for the rest of the fight, and the glitch corrects itself for that special technique until the glitch is reactivated.

(When this glitch occurs, the ability - even if utilised with an inappropriate weapon - still does the kind of damage which would be done by the appropriate weapon. 
So eg a glitched heavy blow used with a machete will not do HP damage. 
And a glitched dashing blow with a baseball bat will.) 

For purposes of special techniques, a dagger seems somehow not to be the "appropriate" type for either slashing or stabbing attacks.]

===Weapon Types and abilities===

Weapons must be equipped, and can then be chosen to be wielded at the start of combat. 
At the cost of a turn, the wielded weapons can be changed to any other set of equipped weapons during combat.

Which weapons are wielded determine the available attacks. 
The weapon chosen first (main-hand weapon) contributes both of its attacks to the moveset, the second (off-hand) weapon contributes only its first attack. 
Equipping an off-hand weapon identical to the main-hand weapon grants no benefits and wastes the third weapon attack slot.

In addition to these up to three weapon attacks, the three basic attacks are also available for a maximum of 6 regular attacks to choose from during combat.

====Damage types====

Weapon damage comes in four types: Slashing, Piercing, Blunt, and Morale. 

Which damage type is dealt is defined exclusively by the weapon used. 
The different attack types (Power, Speed, Piercing) use the same color scheme, but are completely unrelated to damage type.

Slashing and Piercing damage is dealt to ❤ Vitality, ❤ Stamina, and ❤ Morale. 
They are therefore the most useful damage types for defeating enemies, but since ❤ Vitality damage causes wounds and scarring, and can even kill, it should never be used on a rebellious slave.

Blunt damage is dealt to ❤ Stamina and ❤ Morale. 
This is less versatile than Slashing/Piercing, but will never kill an opponent. Keep in mind, though, that ❤ Stamina damage still causes bruising and drains energy, and can therefore severely reduce the Beauty and Endurance of a rebellious slave.

Morale damage is dealt only to ❤ Morale. 
It is therefore the least versatile damage type and least capable of defeating enemies, but it causes no lasting harm to rebellious slaves.

Damage types are resisted differently by different types of armor.

(Elemental damage also exists in the system, but is unused with the exception of the Dragon Fire Staff Relic which deals Fire damage. Fire damages all 3 health types.)

====Damage stats====

Weapon damage often depends on the stats of the wielder. This is calculated differently for Masters and Slaves, and differently still by slave age.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stat !! Master !! Slave (Young) !! Slave (Milf) !! Slave (Loli)
|-
| Strength || Strength (0 to 5) || Endurance (0 to 5) + Gladiatrix affinity (-1 to 1) || Endurance (0 to 5) + Gladiatrix affinity (-1 to 1) +1 || 2/3 * (Endurance + Gladiatrix affinity) + Gladiatrix affinity
|-
| Fighting || Fighting skill (0 to 5) ||colspan=3| Gladiatrix skill (0 to 5) + Gladiatrix affinity (-1 to 1)
|-
| Whip || Flagellation skill (0 to 5) ||colspan=3| Gladiatrix skill (0 to 5) + Gladiatrix affinity (-1 to 1)
|}

====Basic attacks====

Basic attacks are always available regardless of which weapon you're currently using.

They deal Strength + 0 Blunt damage.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Attack !! Type !! vs Block !! vs Evade !! vs Counter
|-
| Kick || Power || 2x || ⛊ Attention || ⛉ Stunned
|-
| Push || Speed || ⛉ Distraction || 2x || ⛊ Adrenaline
|-
| Sweep || Precise || ⛊ Evasion || ⛉ Unsteadiness || 2x
|}

====Unarmed attacks====

Unarmed "weapons" encompass only the Fist, a special weapon that is equipped by default in the right and left hand if no other weapon is equipped in these slots.

Unlike basic attacks, the fist has to be equipped and explicitly wielded like any other weapon to be used in combat.

Unlike other weapon types, a fist in the off-hand contributes no attacks. 
It can, however, be used as a primary weapon and supplemented with another weapon in the off-hand.

Only the Vatican Champion uses magical attacks (and only fire), therefore only the first three defense modifiers matter.

==Tips==
If your Strength is very low, consider which weapon you choose
*If you can afford them, the Mace and Greataxe will do high base damage even with low strength, and the Rapier will do 6 damage regardless of stats.
*If your Flagellation skill is much higher than Strength, consider the Whip and/or Lash which do damage based on that skill instead.
*If every spark counts, go for the Dagger or Butcher's Cleaver, which do respectable damage even though they're cheap.
*You can raise Strength through Sparring in the Colosseum or [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Slaver#Strength|through other daily activities]]
** It took about 3 sparrings vs Unarmed slave to raise Strength from Weak to Unfit, 10 sparrings vs Wardress to go from Unfit to Strong
*Buy an Aketon ASAP and make sure to equip it before combat, it's only $10.
*If you start without armor, you can have Isabella unequip her Leather Armor and wear it for at least a little protection at start.

==Devastating Combo (single target)==
*Equip a Flamberge.
*Hit the enemy with a Dashing strike for Unsteadiness[99] (2x red damage)
*Use Battle Cry to gain Fury (also 2x red damage)
*Attack with Short Blow until they defend by Blocking (Red defence, thus 2x red damage)
*Hit them with Roundhouse Kick for 200 damage.
*Wipe the blood off your clothes.

All except the Worn Clothes are sold at the Boutique of Servilia Quint in the Trade Square of White Town. Most of these have some positive effect, but some of them are uncomfortable and will make the PC unhappy. 
If you have some money to spare, it's worth buying a variety of these to wear to increase your skills, which allows you to train slaves to one rank passed your natural abilities, and further training yourself in them. If you don't need the skill boost, Fashionable Attire is a good choice for the allure.
As of 2.2.3, you no longer need to wear the items to get the training bonuses, but you might still want to swap your outfit for combat, healing injured slaves, or casting spells.

* '''Worn Clothes''' ($0) - You start with these. Penalty to Allure and Mood. They are "worn" in the sense of threadbare and scruffy rather then "being worn".
* '''Formal Suit''' (40$) - Raises Artistry. Allows vulgar players to train in etiquette, dance, music and singing.
* '''Medical gown''' (40$) - Raises Medic skill. Lets the player train nurses to a higher level and improves the use of stimulants and the like.
* '''Wizard Robes''' (40$) - Raises Magic skill. Player can better train enchantresses, cast spells and brew potions.
* '''Housecoat''' (25$) - "Soft and comfortable housecoat. Just what you need to relax". Increases Slaver mood, but decreases Allure and Aura.
* '''Fashionable Attire''' (100$) - Raises Allure which helps with obedience and selling slaves. No effect on mood.
* '''Aketon''' (40$) - Raises Fighter skill. Useful when patrolling the fogs, training gladiatrices or dealing with rebellious slaves.
* '''Livery''' (40$) - Raises Stewardship. Useful when teaching Maid and Cook and Secretary skills.
* '''Noble Regalia''' (200$) - Raises Allure and Aura which helps with obedience and selling slaves, but is uncomfortable, lowering slaver's mood.

== Women's Clothing & Apparel ==

Clothing and jewelry can give a variety of bonuses. BDSM and fetish gear are sold in the Steel Rose in the Necropolis. Other clothes are sold at the Boutique of Servilia Quint in the Trade Square of White town. Jewelry and accessories are sold next door at Ashura's Treasury. Some jewelry requires piercing, which are done at the Steel Rose.

Mood bonuses and penalties from clothing do stack, but do not accumulate over time (each effect is applied on top of the slave's base mood only as long as it is worn).

Some liked clothing gives a positive moodlet instead, which is worth one mood level (+10) but is only applied once.

===Clothes===

Anal Tail can be bought at the Steel Rose in the Necropolis. All other clothing can be bought at the Boutique of Servilia Quint in the Trade Square of White Town.

Slaves will dislike wearing revealing outfits for two reasons:
* They are feeling rebellious (meaning that their Psy (mental state) is either Arrogant, Hateful, Hysteric, or Resistant). In this case they will suffer a mood penalty of -3 * Pride (where "Unashamed" = 0 and "Arrogant" = 5).
* They have the Shy trait and are not feeling Horny. In this case they will suffer a flat -10 mood penalty (one whole level).
Both conditions may be true at the same time, in which case both penalties apply.

Normandy66: some clarifications for endurance training (based on code analysis fo v2.1)

{{Jack-o-nine}}
==Acquiring Slaves==
===Slave Market===
::: The easiest way to get a slave is to head to the [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Locations/White_Town#Slave_Market|Slave Market]] located in the Trade square of the White town. There you'll be able to bid for slaves.
===Contract work===
::: Head into the White town and enter [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Locations/White_Town#The_Slavers_Guild|The slavers guild]]. There you'll be offered a girl and an objective (e.g. rank D nurse). They'll give you a small advance to cover some of the costs of training, and pay based on quality and swiftness.

===Capture===
:::Pro:Free slave. 
:::Con:Requires Combat 

::: Not recommended, specially for new players. Head into the Border of the Fogs and then [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Locations/Border_of_the_Fogs#Patrol_Border_of_Fogs|Patrol border of Fogs]]. You'll most likely encounter a battle and be offered a chance to join it. Should you succeed you'll capture a slave. There is a high chance the slave will be [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Slaves#Pregnancy|pregnant]] with a [[jack-o-nine/Fiend|fiend]]

::: Warning: You die if you fail. For more information See [[jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Combat|Combat]]
===Order a slave===
:::Pro:Customizeable slave. 
:::Con:Expensive, Takes a long time to deliver. 

::: Head into the White town and enter The slavers guild then Talk to [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Locations/White_Town#The_Slavers_Guild|expert]] and Order slave selection. You get to choose how young you want her and many of her stats. Slaves with high stats take longer to be delivered and are more expensive. Prices vary between $400 and $1300.
===Smugglers===
:::Pro:somewhat Customizable. Immediate delivery. 
:::Con:extremely expensive, decreases your brand 
::: Head into the Border of the Fogs and then the [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Locations/Border_of_the_Fogs#Smugglers_Rendezvous|Smuggler's rendezvous]]. There you'll able to purchase a slave for $2000, but you'll be able to choose between a mature, young or immature one. You'll always get a C rank slave.

**[[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Locations/Quarter_of_the_Outcasts#Uncle_Bo|Uncle Bo]] in the Quarter of the Outcasts will tattoo a brand for $10
**If you have a [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Locations/Player_Housing|dungeon]] rented you can use a branding iron at no cost, but will hurt the slave and decrease mood

Increased by:
*Obeying Orders
Decreased by:
*Denying Orders`

Note: Higher = Better.

The way it's calculated:
*The value for obedience starts at 0 and is affected:
*Positively by:
# + 4 [if '''difficulty''' is '''easy''']
# + value of '''fear''' [if she is a '''coward'''] [''trait'']
# + value of '''disciplined''' [if she is '''disciplined'''] [''trait'']
# + (value of '''mood''' / 2) + 1 [if her '''mood''' is positive [''green''] ]
# + value of '''fear''' * 2 [if '''temper''' + '''pride''' + '''nature''' + '''intellect''' <= 14]
# + value of '''fear''' * 3 [if '''temper''' + '''pride''' + '''nature''' + '''intellect''' > 14]
# + value of '''devotion''' * 2
# + value of '''taming''' * 2
# + value of '''habit'''
# + value of '''awareness'''
*Negatively by:
# - 4 [if she is '''brave'''] [''trait'']
# - 6 [if she is '''moronic'''] [''trait'']
# - value of '''wayward''' [if she is '''wayward'''] [''trait'']
# - value of '''spoil''' * 2
# - value of '''pride'''
# - value of '''temper'''
# - value of '''nature'''
# - value of '''intellect'''

===Sexual arousal===
Increased by:
*Deny orgasm

*Certain clothing: lace underwear, exotic outfit, leather corset, anal tail, tongue barbell, nipple chain, belly ring, boots
Decreased by:
*Allowing orgasm
*Delikacia

===Fear===
Increased by:
*Punishments that slave is afraid of. Trait dependent (eg. Shy, Pyromaniac)
*Tremendio spell
*Threaten
Decreased by:
*Not punishing while guilty
*Reward: Garden of Gethsmane
*Reward: Spend time Together
*Reward: Erotic Reward

Note: High Fear can Break the Slave. High fear will Depress the Slave.

===Despair===
Increased by:
*Punishing slave more than guilt
*Forcing slave to follow rules she wouldn't otherwise follow
*Ending the day with positive merit while slave has 2 or less devotion
*Negative mood at the end of the day (slowly)
Decreased by:
*Reward: Garden of Gethsemane
*Reward: Golden Cage
*Reward: Fun
*Reward: Hot Springs
*Reward: Gentle Hug
*Reward: Sensual Massage, Petting, Vibes, Cunnilingus
*Positive mood at the end of the day, sped up by increasing Devotion, Taming, Awareness, and Habit

Note: Better don't increase it - it make the Slave depressive and slowly lowers psychic stats.

===Awareness===
Increased by:
*Itself over time
*Explain her Position
*Punishment of all kind (as long the Punishment is equal to her guilt)
*Ending the day with positive merit (but this has negative effects on despair if devotion < 3 and on mood)
*Nipple chain, spiked collar, and ornamental collar
Decreased by:
*None

Note: Awareness is the ability to understand that she is a slave and has no right to Disobey. Increase Faster if the Slave has high intellect.

===Taming===
Increased by:
*Physical Punishment
*Rape
*Sententia Veritas
*Delikacia
*Rules (Force Humility, Deny Orgasm)
*Most BDSM/fetish gear
*Itself
Decrease by:
*None

Note: Increase Faster with Stronger Aura of the Slaver.

===Habit===
Increased by:
*Most BDSM/fetish gear

Decreased by:

===Spoiling===
Increased by:
* Giving out rewards before they are earned (normal rewards plus - Sleep in my bed or boudoir, Fresh Food, Eat my leftovers)
* Rewarding your slave too many times per day (twice on hard mode, thrice on normal, no limit on easy)
* Giving your slave rewards that are above her virtue earned. So, if your slave has earned a level 3 (virtue) reward and you give her a level 5 reward, it will cause spoil
* Ending the day with sin (punishment) and you don't punish her. It will cause an increase in pride and spoil
* Not assigning enough rules to your slave (three on hard, two on normal, no limit on easy). There are 15 rules to choose from and all 15 count. Slaves won’t respect a master who doesn’t expect them to follow any rules or make them work.

Decreased by:
*Not rewarding slave when she deserves it
*Put in Place talk option
*Sleep in Cell or on the Floor

Note:This aural stat increases very fast so be careful.

===Devotion===
Increased by:
*Positive mood while keeping Awareness/Taming/Habit up increases it slowly. (Despair must be reduced first).
*Philter potion (only one use per slave)
*Wedding dress slightly speeds up devotion growth.
Decreased by:
*None

Note: Fear and Despair reduce the amount of Devotion that you obtain

==Mood==

Mood decide how well the Slave will learn skills. Bad Mood such as "Depressive" let the Slave learn slowly. Good Mood like "Happy" make it faster.
To find out what's affecting her mood ask "How are you feeling?" and she'll list off the positive and negative effects she's under.
The effects of rewards will last for a while so to maximize happiness it's important to use a variety of rewards and combine their affects.

Mood levels from highest to lowest:
* ''Estatic''
* ''Happy''
* ''Pleased''
* ''Optimistic''
* ''Cheerful'' 

* ''Calm (neutral)'' 

* ''Unhappy''
* ''Pessimistic''
* ''Melancholic''
* ''Depressed''
* ''Severely Depressed'' 

Improved by:
* ''Encourage''
* ''Rewards''
* ''Enough to Eat''
* ''Your Leftovers''
* ''Clean House''
* ''Good Hygiene''
* ''Comfortable clothes (like the sundress)''
* ''Sleep in the Slavers bed'' (note: Slave need high Obedience)
* ''Sleep in boudoir''
* ''Letting her orgasm''
* ''Use her Talent'' (Trait Talent: ???)
* ''Free time (ending the day with positive energy)
* ''Take Drug - Chug (strong alcohol, drink two and she passes out)''
* ''Drink potion - Bacchic nectar (doesn't stack with alcohol and can only be used once, but won't pass out with repeated attempts, cheaper and easier to just drink the alcohol, though)''
* ''Not punishing her when she's guilty'' 

Decreased by:
* ''Explain her position'' (Note: as long as she have not accept to be a slave)
* ''Threaten''
* ''Starving''
* ''Overworking her (red energy levels)''
* ''Dehydrated food''
* ''Fiend's cum'' (Unless the slave has the perverted trait, in which case it raises mood)
* ''Dirty House''
* ''Bad Hygiene''
* ''Sleep in the cell''
* ''Sleep on the floor''
* ''Sleep on a Bedroll''
* ''Walk around Naked''
* ''Built up sexual desire''
* ''any Rules'' (on low Obedience)
* ''Raping''
* ''Pregnacy with a fog fiend''
* ''Having Rotphilis (treatable STD)''
* ''Certain BDSM/fetish gear''

Being on her period will have a slight negative effect on her mood that you can't control. "I have these days...stomach ache. So the mood is not very much."

==Ranks==

*Further improve this slave's sexual skills
*Further improve this slave's common skills
*This slave should master a common skill
*Encourage this slave's sense of loyalty

'''Basic Attributes'''
Add up the total of these stats (red = 0, green =5, i.e. an apathetic slave has 0 temperament, while reactive has 3, and passionate has 5) and subtract off pride to get your total.
*Endurance
*Empathy
*Temperament

==Pregnancy==

A Slave might get pregnant. There are two possible pregnancies.
*Regular Pregnancy
Regular pregnancy will cause your slave to be taken away by the autorities until after childbirth once pregnancy becomes apparent. You will be warned beforehand that the slave might be pregnant.

*Fiend Pregnancy
This pregnancy occurs rapidly and will create an event in the morning where the fiend bursts out of the slaves stomach, killing the slave in the process. if you have a fiend pen you can capture it. See [[Jack-o-nine/Fiend|fiend]] for details.

Both types can be aborted at the [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Locations/Serpentine_Quarter#Medical_center|Medical Center]]. There is also the option of making your slave sterile to prevent the risk of pregnancy from ever occurring in the first place. Sterilization is reversible.

== Charm ==
A derived stat that will affect who's willing to buy your slave (if you meet the list listed requirements but the buyer turns her down for a vague reason, odds are she didn't meet the charm test)
The formula for Charm is as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
| charm = style*3 + exotic + devotion + brand_reputation + fame*2 - relative_fat - despair - spoil - scars - (bruises+1)/2
|}

relative_fat describes how far the slave is from ideal weight, and is calculated as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Slave Weight !! relative_fat
|-
| Underweight || 6
|-
| Model || -1
|-
| Voluptuous || 0
|-
| Healthy Weight || 3
|-
| Overweight || 6
|-
| Obese || 10
|}

The most straightforward approach is to simply raise Style (since it has an x3 modifier). Buy her some nice clothes and jewely, remember to EQUIP the new items on her, take her to the Salon and get a full makeover. Most of the Salon boosts will disappear at end-of-day, so it's important to visit the NPC promptly. Also remember style includes hygiene, so have slave bathe/wash you/hot springs *before* visiting the Salon, as those activities wash off perfume and possibly hairstyle/makeup. Oddly, none of the Salon treatments improve hygiene.

If the client has already refused due to lack of charm, you can sway them by asking them 10 times to buy your slave. Otherwise, you can train your slave a bit more and sell her to someone else.

==Sanity and Broken Spirit==
Another hidden derived stat which is:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Temperament + Nature + Pride
|}

As pride goes from Arrogant to Unashamed, sanity goes down. This is an important stat to know, because if it drops below 3 the slave's spirit will be broken and she'll be Rank F- forever and difficult to sell.
To avoid this situation you need to keep Temperament and Nature high and avoid decreasing her pride too far.
See sections on [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Slaves#Nature|Nature]], [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Slaves#Temperament|Temperament]] and [[Jack-o-nine/Gameplay/Slaves#Pride|Pride]] for help increasing/decreasing them.
