Debuffs/Rebuffs - These are spells that either raise or lower your stats while you're in a camp and are essential in pking.


Screech - This spell will reduce your opponents Defense, therefor when you hit someone screeched it will do near 25% more damage.

Raise Stamina - You must use this spell when someone screechs you, this will counter the effect of Screech.



Unravel - This spell will decrase the strength of your opponent, its only good to use on Melee users.

Raise Strentgh - This will counter the effect of unravel.



Grease - This spell will reduce the odds of a melee users ability to hit you, this will also affect debuffs such as unravel,grease,stupify,spiders and screech.

Raise Dextarity - Use this spell to counter the Grease effect.



Stupify - This spell is used to reduce the damage of spells, this will not affect debuffs, although very effective to use against spell users.

Raise Wisdom - This spell is used to counter Stupify.



Spiders - This spell rather useless although the odd person will use this. When a person uses Grease on you, if you cast this on your opponent and it doesn't "Miss" it will counter the effect of grease making you able to hit your opponent without having to worry about missing. Its a risky move and your better off raising your dex.

Raise Agility - Use this spell to counter Spiders.




How to lag trick?

Easy, the lag has to be set first of all, because sometimes this may not work, but it should most of the time.

When your opponent casts a spell/attack/item, you wait until this actually hits you(or hits them if it is a rebuff). Then while your being hit, you blink a little, while you are blinking from being hit you cast a spell, like grease for example. When you cast this spell, you will notice you can attack again while the spell is going, choose a new spell like screech for example or hit them. Out of confusion your enemy may stall, in which case you get another hit and double them, or they will rebuff Dexterity Giving you a great advantage.


How to see lag tricks in PKS?

Many people, see an attack and then click their own attack and BOOM, the other guy lag tricked Grease on you and you missed. Such a failure and OMG hes cheap? Well you should watch it. When the other guy attacks normally without lag tricking, YOU DO NOT get a curser to attack until the attack is done, right? Well when your enemy lag tricks, you get a curser right away, this is your chance to go through the lag trick and screw him up by casting the right spell or in some cases just attack him. This is a little harder to learn but hopefully you see what it is.


Overclicking

Lots of people overclick. Do you wait to see the outcome of the spell casted? Do you click so fast you can't remember what you did? Are people doubling you and you overclick?

Well first off, wait for a spell to hit you and see if it fails, if it fails YAY you get a free hit, if it hits than rebuff. When the other person is doubling you a lot and you click before they double, just simply let them double before you click and then you may get a double right back at them without overclicking. Just take it calm and easy and you'll be fine.


Advanced Lag Tricks(stealing)

Well here is an advanced method of using this trick to your advantage. You perform the lag trick as normal. BUT now instead of changing the spell, you wait for your lag trick to hit your opponent. Now that it hits your opponent, lag trick off the lag trick so that you carry the lag trick. At this point its a good time to follow through and change to a different spell/attack. This can leave your opponent stunned and possibly you can triple them with this as well.


Spell Fails

This is the main reason a lot of people lose their pk match. Keep in mind fails always happen so always expect it. Keep in mind when your casting a spell, are you in the lead? If you are in the lead it is a bad idea to cast any spell in case you fail. Too many people cast debuffs while they are in the lead, DON'T!.... unless your just playing around.


Cheap Trick!

If you are greased, you can use lag tricks to help. Simply lag trick when you are greased and you CAN'T miss. Yes it's cheap, yes it works... only use it if you have to, or want to for that matter.


Missing

Melee attacks and spells all can miss, except Healing spells and spells that attack All Enemies, for example Nova or Tempest.


Going First

If you are going first in a pk match, do not cast a debuff, its simply not smart, chances are you will fail and lose because of it. Always attack as a first hit. If you go second, always try to screech and then hit them before they can rebuff, chances are good you can screech and hit for a good lead. If you fail the screech, don't worry, chances are they will rebuff and you'll still have the lead.


Hand Ratio/Spell Ratio

So many people think having 9.990 is awesome. Guess what!!! 9.000 is no different than 9.990!!! The reason there is a 9.990 is simply to rasie your skill high enough that it won't drop to level 8. So don't bother wasting your time raising it super high, its a waste of time on superstition.
