• Traits: You can 3 options to choose from when you unlock one.

Swordfighting

Affects your attacks while dismounted.

Traits

Name	Level	Description
First Strike	3	Your Swordfighting attack during the first turn of each round will be more effective(+3 Swordfighting Effectiveness for the first attack)
Inspiring Presence	3	Your commanding aura and charismatic demeanor uplift the spirits of your allies.(+1 Morale Boost per turn)
Weaponbreaker	3	Your keen understanding of combat allows you to target your opponent's weapon, weakening their offensive capabilities.(Your simple attacks will also lower your enemy's offense by 1)
Powerful Impact	3	Your strikes deliver a significant impact, enhancing the effectiveness of your impact skill. (+2 Impact Advantage)
Sharp Edge	3	Your blade is finely honed and razor-sharp, giving you an edge in swordfighting.(+1 Swordfighting Effectiveness)
Bonebreaker	3	Your combat technique is focused on causing debilitating injuries by targeting bones. Instead of inflicting slash wounds, your attacks aim to break bones, incapacitating your foes and disrupting their ability to fight effectively.

Jousting

Affects your attacks while mounted.

Traits

Name	Level	Description
Elegant Rider	3	Rather than launching an offensive against your opponent, you adopt a strategic approach centered around evading enemy attacks. This option can be exercised once per round, allowing you to elegantly dodge up to three attacks during the chosen turn while on horseback.(Dodge 3 attacks during the turn of its activation - Must specify on which turn to activate it.)
Lance Charge	3	Initiate a powerful charge against an enemy troop. Upon a successful hit, your attack packs more power than the usual impact. It's important to note that this technique is can sometimes instantly kill a troop.(Choose which turn to activate. Seriously wounds a well armoured troop. Instantly kills a poorly armed troop.)
Fire Lance	3	Questionable legality aside, this maneuver involves swapping your lance for a unique alternative. Upon striking the initial target, the lance detonates, significantly increasing the likelihood of dismounting an enemy knight or inflicting substantial harm to an opposing unit. The impactful explosion is sure to demoralize your target. However, it comes with a drawback—once the fire lance is employed, you'll be left without a weapon, necessitating dismounting to join your comrades with your sword.(NOT ALWAYS GUARANTEED. MAY FAIL. Seriously wounds a troop. +3 Jousting Effectiveness against a knight. Choose which turn to use this)
Whistle Kick	3	As you charge into the fray, a well-timed whistle triggers your horse's trained kick, catching your opponents off guard. The simultaneous attack of your lance and your horse adds a layer of complexity to your assaults.(You attack with your horse. Your horse's attacks may break bones.)
Reckless Charge	3	Fueled by an unyielding determination, you charge headlong into battle without regard for your own safety. This reckless attack allows you to strike both enemy knights and troops indiscriminately, but also exposes you to counterattacks from both fronts.
Heavy Armour	3	Donning a heavier, sturdier suit of armor provides enhanced protection, reducing the damage you sustain. However, the added weight exhausts your horse more quickly, impacting its endurance in battle.(Takes 1 less damage. Loses 1 attack turn)

Round 1 - Free-For-All, 3 Turns

Basic Reward: 5 points
Last Man Standing Reward: 5 points
Crowd's Favourite: 3 points

Turn 1

The exhilarating first turn of the round kicks off with all participants thundering towards each other on their mighty steeds.

Lance skillfully thrusts the tip of his lance at Linden, who retaliates with a perfectly timed strike of his own. The clash sends shockwaves through Lance, but Linden's lance leaves a mark on Lance's weapon.

Seizing the opportunity, Njal exploits the moment and delivers a powerful blow, almost sending Lance tumbling off his horse.

Quick on the draw, Samson seizes the chance to strike at Njal. In the midst of the chaos, Galandric and Lexis engage in a fierce exchange. With a single, expertly aimed blow to Galandric's chest, Lexis dismounts him in a spectacle of skill. However, Galandric's counterattack lands on one of Lexis' hired peasants, leaving the unfortunate soul wounded in the midst of the thrilling battlefield.

Turn 2

The second turn of the round erupts into utter chaos as the battlefield becomes a flurry of swift movements and clashes.

Lance, seizing the moment, shifts his focus to Galandric, who is still recovering from Lexis' brutal initial strike. Lance's lance collides with Galandric's shield, forcefully pushing him back.

Undeterred by Lance's assault, Galandric swiftly pursues Lexis, managing to strike him with his sword just as Lexis attempts to ride away.

In a surprising turn of events, Linden switches targets and charges after Samson. With precision, he lands a clean blow that momentarily throws Samson off balance.

Recovering swiftly, Samson retaliates, directing his attack at Galandric, who had just finished engaging with Lexis. Despite Samson's forceful strike, Galandric's shield proves resilient and withstands the assault.

Meanwhile, Njal redirects his attention to the closest target, which happens to be Linden. Riding after him, Njal times his attack perfectly, striking Linden as soon as he completes his maneuver. Despite the impact, Linden skillfully regains his balance.

Not to be outdone, Lexis turns away from Galandric and charges at Samson. With finesse, Lexis delivers a powerful and clean attack on Samson, who manages to cling to his horse, at least for the time being. The battlefield pulses with the intensity of each rider's maneuvers and the clash of weapons.

Turn 3

As the final turn of the round unfolds, the battlefield is charged with anticipation. Lance charges at Samson, delivering a swift blow that nearly dislodges him from his horse. However, Samson retaliates with equal vigor, countering Lance's attack and almost causing him to lose balance on his mount.

Undeterred by his earlier dismount, Galandric persists in chasing Lexis. Catching up just before Lexis initiates his charge, Galandric lands a forceful blow directly to Lexis' body. The impact is powerful enough to almost dismount Lexis, but he skillfully regains his balance, swiftly returning a blow to Galandric.

Linden changes course, riding toward Njal with remarkable speed. Upon catching up, he delivers a strong blow to Njal, who resiliently shakes it off. In a surprising turn, Njal retaliates with a hit that catches Linden off guard.

Despite the intense exchanges, everyone manages to survive the round. Although Galandric got dismounted early on, he valiantly endured with sword and shield in hand, earning the admiration of the cheering crowds.

In a show of respect for the surviving participants, the last man standing points are evenly distributed among them. Each participant gains 1 point in addition to the 10 basic participation points. Galandric, overcoming his dismount, earns an additional 3 points for being the crowd's favorite player of the round, receiving a well-deserved ovation from the spectators.
