[color=#777777]━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[/color] [/center] [center][size=5][b][color=#C62828]🩺 01 · THE BASICS[/color][/b][/size][/center] [quote] [size=4][b]🩹 What is a Med Buddy?[/b][/size] A [b]Med Buddy[/b] is someone from the opposing faction who agrees to repeatedly let you attack them during the war. Your Med Buddy removes their weapons and armour so you can defeat them easily. They then use medical items to get out of hospital and you attack them again. Basically: [b]They become your voluntary punching bag.[/b] A very generous one.

Faction leadership may divide that target among members and give each person an individual target. [b]Example:[/b] [size=4][b]500 points[/b][/size] Your faction might distribute those points between several members. Your job is to keep attacking your Med Buddy until you reach the target assigned to you. [center] [size=4][b]🛑 TARGET REACHED?[/b][/size] [size=4][b][color=#C62828]STOP ATTACKING.[/color][/b][/size] [/center] Don't continue hitting your Med Buddy simply because you still have Energy. Your faction may have deliberately allocated the remaining score to other members. [b]Do not attack anyone else in the opposing faction unless your leadership has instructed you to do so.[/b] This includes: ❌ Online players ❌ Offline players ❌ Your Med Buddy ❌ Random targets Once your target is reached, check with faction leadership before continuing. [/quote] [center][size=5][b][color=#C62828]🤝 03 · RETURN THE FAVOUR[/color][/b][/size][/center] [quote] [size=4][b]Do we help our Med Buddy too?[/b][/size] [b]Absolutely.[/b] A Med Buddy arrangement is generally a two-way deal. [b]You[/b] Remove weapons/armour → They attack you → You go to hospital → You Med Out → They attack you again [b]Your Buddy[/b] Does the same process when it is their turn. [center] [size=4][b]🛏️ Recommended Attack Setup[/b][/size] [/center] [b]Melee:[/b] 100% [b]Primary:[/b] 0% [b]Secondary:[/b] 0% [b]Temporary:[/b] 0% A pillow can be used as the melee weapon. [b]Always double-check your settings before attacking.[/b] A small configuration mistake can turn a controlled Med Buddy attack into a very different situation. [/quote] [center][size=5][b][color=#C62828]💊 04 · MEDICAL COOLDOWN[/color][/b][/size][/center] [quote] [size=4][b]What is Med CD?[/b][/size] Medical Cooldown is a separate cooldown that controls how frequently you can use medical items. [b]Small First Aid Kits[/b] Standard maximum: [size=5][b]6 HOURS[/b][/size] Faction upgrades can increase this to: [size=5][b]9 HOURS[/b][/size] The important thing to remember is that different medical items affect your Medical Cooldown differently. You therefore need to consider: 🏥 Your remaining Hospital time 💊 The medical item you are going to use ⏳ The Medical Cooldown it will create 🎯 How quickly you need to return to the war [/quote] [center][size=4][b]🧠 USE YOUR MEDS INTELLIGENTLY[/b][/size][/center] [quote] For example: If your hospital time is very short, using a large medical item may not be necessary. If your hospital time is significantly longer, another medical item may make more sense. [b]Do not blindly use your strongest medical item.[/b] Think about the Hospital time and the Med CD you are creating. Timing your medical items is an important part of being an effective Med Buddy. [/quote] [center][size=4][b]⏳ “I'M MAX MED CD”[/b][/size][/center] [quote] If your Med Buddy tells you: [size=4][b]“I'm max Med CD.”[/b][/size] It means they have temporarily reached their Medical Cooldown limit and cannot continue using the relevant medical items. [b]Give them time.[/b] Their Med CD needs to decrease before they can continue the cycle. Don't spam them with: “med?” “med out?” “MED??” 😂 [/quote] [center][size=5][b][color=#C62828]🚫 05 · WHEN THE CYCLE STOPS[/color][/b][/size][/center] [quote] The normal Med Buddy cycle can stop for several reasons. [b]🎯 TARGET REACHED[/b] If you have reached your assigned target: [b]STOP.[/b] --- [b]💊 MAX MED CD[/b] If your Med Buddy can no longer Med Out: [b]PAUSE.[/b] --- [b]🎯 YOUR BUDDY REACHED THEIR TARGET[/b] Once they reach their target, the arrangement may be finished. --- [b]📢 LEADERSHIP SAYS STOP[/b] If faction leadership tells you to stop: [size=4][b]STOP.[/b][/size] Leadership has the overall picture of the war. Always follow the current faction instructions. [/quote] [center][size=5][b][color=#C62828]🧮 06 · FAIR FIGHT[/color][/b][/size][/center] [quote] [size=4][b]Why do I want someone with higher stats?[/b][/size] Because of [b]Fair Fight (FF)[/b]. The Fair Fight multiplier affects the respect you receive from an attack. The basic idea is: [b]Suitable opponent[/b] ↓ [b]Better FF[/b] ↓ [b]More respect per attack[/b] ↓ [b]Less Energy needed for the same amount of respect[/b] Ideally, you want an opponent with similar or higher stats than you, provided you can still reliably defeat them. However, don't choose someone simply because their stats are high. If you cannot reliably beat them, they are not a suitable Med Buddy. Because the alternative is getting one-shot by your own Med Buddy with a pillow. [b]That's not a Med Buddy.[/b] [i]That's an enemy with excellent customer service.[/i] [/quote] [center][size=5][b][color=#C62828]🔎 07 · FINDING A MED BUDDY[/color][/b][/size][/center] [quote] [size=4][b]① FIND SOMEONE[/b][/size] Look through the opposing faction for a suitable player. Consider their stats and whether you can reliably defeat them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [size=4][b]② MESSAGE THEM[/b][/size] Ask if they want to become Med Buddies. A simple message is enough: [b]“Hey, want to be Med Buddies for this war?”[/b] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [size=4][b]③ AGREE ON A TARGET[/b][/size] Tell them how many points you are aiming for. Make sure both players understand the arrangement. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [size=4][b]④ CHECK FACTION CHAT[/b][/size] Someone else in your faction may already have claimed that player as their Med Buddy. Always check before starting.

Looking for a Med Buddy for this war. Want to trade targets?” [b]Before starting, confirm:[/b] ☑️ Target ☑️ Who starts ☑️ Attack setup ☑️ Med Out ☑️ What happens at max Med CD ☑️ What happens when the target is reached [/quote] [center][size=5][b][color=#C62828]🤝 09 · WAR ETIQUETTE[/color][/b][/size][/center] [quote] [size=4][b]Don't steal someone's Med Buddy.[/b][/size] If someone says: [size=4][b]“X is my Med Buddy.”[/b][/size] It means they already have an agreement with that player. Approaching someone's already-claimed buddy and trying to take them is generally considered bad form. There are plenty of people in the opposing faction. [b]Find your own punching bag.[/b] 🥊 Respect existing arrangements and communicate with your faction. [/quote] [center][size=5][b][color=#C62828]📢 10 · COMMUNICATION[/color][/b][/size][/center] [quote] A good Med Buddy arrangement depends on communication. If you are going AFK: [b]Tell them.[/b] If you reached your target: [b]Tell them.[/b] If you are max Med CD: [b]Tell them.[/b] If you made a mistake: [b]Tell them.[/b] Don't disappear for 20 minutes and leave your Med Buddy wondering whether you're coming back. Good communication prevents unnecessary confusion during a war.
