• 1.0 - Introduction
• 2.0 - The Special Attacks

There are many types of special attacks (a.k.a spatk or spec.); from temporary boosts in stats, to strikes dealing higher damage than normal.

In the combat interface of these weapons, you will notice a special attack bar. If you click on this bar, your character will initiate the weapons special attack. The special attack bar will drain by a certain percentage (depends on the weapon used). If you use all of your special attack bar, it will take five minutes to replenish.

Along with many other things, special attacks in dueling have an option to be turned off. If you do not wish to duel using special attacks, click on "No Sp. Attacks" on the interface.

Below is a list of the weapons that have a special attack assigned to them. Animated images are included to give you an idea of what each special attack looks like. Each weapon drains a different percentage of the special attack bar. This means that if you use too much of the special bar, you won't be able to cast the special attack again, until it's replenished.
