Introduction
Hello to all Wind Slayer novice pvpers. I am Lynn, a novice only pvper, I have been playing this game for quite some time now and wanting to share some of my experiences of the game.
This is a guide to the basics of novice pvp, if you find all these information too boring, you can visit my Advanced Novice PvP Guide (http://www.outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176701). There are a lot of misunderstandings that I have seen from many novice players, and as well as from those that have been playing for quite some time.
Stats Distributions
Every player that is inside the arena will have the following stats distribution (assuming fully equipped):

Note the parts that are circled in red:
- All players are equalled in levels (Lv 49).
- All stats are set to 55 with 1 point leftover which cannot be added to any other stats. This is just for viewing the information about each stat.
- All players will have the same amount of HP and MP.
- All weapons provide the same damage (including refined weapons).
- All players will have the same defence rate if fully equipped (including refined armors). This includes Helm, Body, Pants, Bracelet, and Shoes. Accessories are excluded as those have no effect in Novice PvP.
Each piece of equipment gives the following stats:

- Note that the higher level of armor on the left does not provide any higher defence rate than the lower level armor on the right.
Note: cash shop items may have impact on defence rate.
Controls and Skills
By default:
←: moves to the left
→: moves to the right
↑: jump up
↓: jump down from a platform or cliff.
S: the Basic/Weak Attack, available at the start. Doing little damage but can combo with Strong Attack.
D: Strong Attack, a much more powerful strike with a long animation time which could leave the player vulnerable for attacks. This attack is gotten from level 5 quest.
A: the Guard skill. Blocks Weak Attack completely but still take full damage from Strong Attack. A good skill to counter your opponent’s attack. Obtained from a level 8 quest.
→→: Dash, moves forward quickly, can be used to run or avoid attacks.
↑↑: Double Jump, to jump onto a higher platform.
Grab: an additional skill performed by using Strong Attack when you are close to an opponent.
Players are allowed to enter the pvp arena at level 5, it is recommended to get all those skills first before going or at least have the Strong Attack in hand.
Maps
There are 4 different maps available to our players.
- Poplar Arena
Most commonly used map, good for mass team battles (5v5 or more)
- Marble Mountain
A small map, good for small team battles (4v4 or less)
- Amakusa
Probably the worst map out of the 4, many cliffs makes jumpping difficult
- Balderan
Similar to Poplar Arena with a pillar that players can take advantages of.
FAQ:
Q: How do I earn WSP?
A: You get WSP after the end of each battle, depending on the performance you made, a certain amount of points are gained and distributed into the following 3 categories:
- Reputation
- WSP
- Exp
Q: How many WSP do I have?
A: Open up your inventory, and WSP is displayed under your money.

Q: How do I rank up?
A: By gaining enough reputation points, players can advance into the next rank.
Q: Where do I buy the class advancing license?
A: Available from the weapon shop in Ozi Village, the cost is 100 gold, 100 WSP. Alternatively, you are able to purchase it from other players.
Q: Where do I buy Medal of Honor?
A: Available from the weapon shop in Poplar Village, the cost is 200 gold, 20 WSP. Alternatively, you are able to purchase it from other players.
Q: Why is my damage different to others?
A: Players do different damage according to the armor that their opponent is wearing, each missing piece of armor will have an impact on your damage output. The minimum damage you can do is 38 (not including cash item).
Guide will be updated frequently. All comments, feedbacks welcome.
Have fun~
