View source for Attacking In Trapquest

=Attacking= 
Attacking is the main method of deal damage to [[monsters]] in the game. Other than that only some friendly monsters may assist the player during combat.
There are three different ways to attack an enemy which have different drawbacks, but every type of attack is influenced by the [[Strength|strength]] stat.

==Slap== 
* Can be heavily influenced by certain equippable weapons you may be able to find throughout the game. 
* Slaps do not increase exercise.
* Damage can be reduced by wristcuffs or very large [[Breast Size|breasts]].
** The gladiator teaches a skill which negates the slap penalty from having big breasts.
* If the player is completely balanced (floor isn't slippery and they're not wearing heels that are too high for their skill level), an NPC that tries a trip attack after a slap will have a 0% chance of success.
** If the player is not completely balanced, the trip attack will have a 1 in [[Dexterity|player dexterity]] chance of success.

==Knee== 

* This attack increases exercise.
* [[Stockings]] can influence the damage of knee attacks.  A high [[Magic Modifier|magic modifier]] stockings can make knee attacks extremely powerful.
** [[Suspenders]] can also influence knee attacks but only if they are connected to stockings.
* The player cannot use "knee" when bound with [[anklecuffs]] or wearing a hobble skirt (but skirts can be pulled up).
* If the NPC tries a tripping attack just after the player uses a knee attack, the NPC has a low to medium chance of success, depending on how balanced the player is and how high their dexterity is.

==Kick== 
* This attack increases exercise significantly.
** It also increases heel experience (which eventually turns into heel skill points) significantly if there are worn heels.
* This attack is the easiest to increase to decent levels by wearing heels.
** Wearing heels increases damage output depending on heel type and heel size, but '''not''' [[Magic Modifier|magic modifier]].  The magic modifier only affects balance.
* The [[Fatigue|fatigue]] of the player increases each time.
* The player cannot use "kick" when bound with [[anklecuffs]] or wearing a hobble skirt (but skirts can be pulled up).
* If the NPC tries a tripping attack just after the player uses a kick attack, the NPC has a medium to high chance of success, depending on how balanced the player is (heel skill and slipperiness) and how high their dexterity is.

==Zap==
* This attack doesn't increase exercise
* Usually requires a magical item in order to be used, like a [[:Category:Wand|wand]] or the [[Pink Spraybottle]]
* Damage from a zap depends on the relevant item's [[Magic Modifier]] and the player's current [[Magical Power]]
* If the player is wearing enough items to activate the magic [[theme]], does extra damage.
* Can be used to attack the [[Minotaur]] without releasing him from his cage.
