A deliberate battle rhythm

Combat

Choose a weapon style, spend finite supplies with intent, and read every commitment in Fenwild's combat rhythm.

The combat triangle

Every style owns a different kind of fight.

Rush into the front line, hunt across open ground, or shape the clash with magic. Every fight asks you to choose your moment.

Style contributions are rating points added to your level and gear; Faith Vows then multiply the total. A style's Defence applies against melee, ranged, and magic while it is selected.

Arcane commitments

Spells

Magic damage grants 3 XP per damage, split across the skills your stance trains (Sparkcast: Magic; Wardcast: Magic + Defence), plus the spell's cast XP to Magic. Each cast consumes its listed reagent. Max hit depends on the spell, your Magic level, your gear, your stance, and any active damage Vow (Wrath or Judgment); the combat simulator resolves it for a real loadout. Bots earn the same XP as manual play.

Bind stops walking and running, but a Bound fighter can still attack, cast, use items, and pray. When it ends, the fighter gains 5 ticks · 3s of Bind Immunity. Shardbind snares and Blizzard freezes; both use this one rule.
