Why is it when someone attacks me most times they win but if I attack them I lose every time?

[Becky Lynch]

That is the million dollar question.   I have the same thing happen and all I can figure is that refinements may play a part in that. You may be stronger on defense than attack when compared to that players setup.  It can be frustrating I know.

I have had players with only one stat lower than me beat my ass three times and I try just once and lose. 

 

And I've fought lower levels without using a missile and won so go figure.

Weird I pick fights with nearly every1 with quite low stats compared to urs Sindy and I win mayb 7 8 times outta 10. no refinements.

I've had similar problems with opponents who looked easy, but wound up being hard, just hard to beat, too. Or, all of the players on the list have better stats than mine. My only guess about why some easy looking marks can be so hard, is that they're using a secret weapon, maybe a pillow? I just started playing. I've gone through three different avatars already, couldn't get past level 12.

Their refinements may be the reason you are not beating them when your stats are better, There are many factors such as your stat allocation compared to theirs, refinements and missiles,

Here is my guess....

Higher Levels have better equipment in Strength and Missiles 

So they will do more damage than you may anticipate since level isn't displayed unless you go in and look...

It Appears The Person Attacking does so at a slight disadvantage in addition to stat differences,

this may be an invisible stat for defense of ones character - something like a base defense value of your level or similar

Many times if you fight same stat, same level the attacker will almost always loose and the defender will almost always win.

 

Again no foundation to this apart from observation... try it and see if you agree...

We had the same presumption as Barito had in the German Forum. If i remember correctly, Playata denied that there would be some sort of protection for those defending in a duel. They said, it would be a matter of probability.

And if you look closely, they might not be wrong. The whole fighting system is based on chances. Of course, Items like gadgets and missiles become stronger with every level and a character with a higher level will deal more damage to you than you will to him, but in the end, all fights are won by meeting the chances to hit, to dodge or to hit critcally. Yes, the basic stats are still the strongest. If you dodge a blow, there is no refinement that can help your opponent to still deal some damage to you. Yes, there is a refinement that deals damage over time, but that one already has to work before you dodged the opponents blow.

If you want to win duels, enhance your stats with refinements. Invest in your defense (Finesse) and your offense (Charisma). Keep your Stamina at a good third rank. Strength is good, but utterly useless, if you cannot hit your opponent. Use refinements that give you an extra opportunetly to dodge or to deal extraordinary high damage if you hit a critical blow. Use the refeinement on your gadget that enhances the missiles, Use the refinement for the head (I'm missing the correct name for that slot, but i guess you will know what I mean) that gives you the chance of hitting twice a round. Use the survival refinement for your shoes, If you cannot get a agrip on one of those, take a refinement that enhances one of the important stats. Don't go for standard refinements, that do something else than raising a stat. 2 or 3 % chance is nothing unless it's damage or the enhancement of a stat, but even then, if you can have better ones, take them. You will get these chance way to rarely - a normal battle doesn't take longer than 10 to 15 rounds. Take the rare or epic variants for refinements for any special ability granted by refinements.

Use time to your advantage. You do not have to put a refinement on everything you get, at the time you get it. If you are making two films a day, there's a chance that you will get something better soon. Concentrate on getting the right refinement for your gear and if that means that the item is going to stay in your inventory for a couple of days or until you find something even better, who cares?
