Attacking?

I don’t get the attacking UI at all. I feel like I’m missing something super basic. Any help would be so appreciated ?

On a computer or laptop the user interface is mainly mouse-driven, so you choose who you wish to attack, go to their profile and click on the handgun icon to attack them. When the fight starts you need to click on the weapon that you wish to attack with and that is what you will use in the next round. On a mobile phone it is similar, except you use your finger or a pointer to select the weapon for the next round.

In each round the attacker has first shot and the defender has second shot. A fight can last for up to 25 rounds or until one or the other player is defeated or the attacker escapes. Your weapon choices are limited to the weapons that you have equipped before you start the fight. Temporary weapons are single use only and cannot be reloaded during a fight. Guns will use ammo and can be reloaded (at the expense of a turn) during the fight.

Your ability to hit an opponent or do damage will depend upon your Battle Stats versus their Battle Stats, what merits you have and random outcomes, such as landing critical hits.

There is also a timer running on how long you are waiting between hits, sorry I can't remember how long you get, someone else could tell you. If you are doing the new player missions then you should be getting some basic training in how to attack.

I click weapon until I die or enemy die.
