Combat Initiative

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

Combat Initiative determines whether you or the monster will get the jump in combat, as well as your chance to Run Away.

How Initiative Works

The mechanics of Combat Initiative are not fully understood, but the following are basics established by Hardcore Oxygenation and the KolSpading fora:

• Each monster in the kingdom has an initiative value.
• Your initiative is influenced by your unbuffed mainstat and initiative modifiers. Buffing your mainstat cannot affect your initiative.
• The monster additionally gains initiative with higher adjusted Monster Attack. On top of this there is an increasing penalty with higher Monster Level modifiers.
• Running away is affected solely by the monster's initiative value and your initiative modifiers, but not your mainstat.
• The calculation is on a probability basis, so you are not guaranteed to get initiative unless the % value is over 100; or you might still gain initiative even if you are under 100% calculated initiative.
• Your percent chance of gaining initiative is

 Initiative (in %) = (100 + Character's Init Modifiers - Monster Base Init) 
   + max(0, Unbuffed Mainstat - Adjusted Monster Attack (including MCDs))
   - Extra Monster Level Penalty

Influence of Monster Level

Extra Monster Level has an additional negative effect on initiative (on top of that from that of increasing Monster Attack). The Extra Monster Level Penalty is based on total extra monster level (minus Slime Tube squeezes), in thresholds of 20 Monster Levels. Starting from zero penalty and 0 ML, each 20 ML threshold passed adds +1 to the multiplier per ML for that threshold, but does not affect previous thresholds. For example, at 67 ML, the total penalty is equivalent to 20*0 + 20*1 + 20*2 + 7*3 = 81. This is according to the table that follows:

ML	Penalty
0-20	No penalty
21-40	0 + 1×(ML - 20)
41-60	20 + 2×(ML - 40)
61-80	60 + 3×(ML - 60)
81-100	120 + 4×(ML - 80)
101+	200 + 5×(ML - 100)

• Expressed graphically, the ML Penalty formula produces this chart.(broken link)

Unknown Initiative Effects

These effects are theorized to affect combat initiative:

• little box of fireworks and Crimbo P. R. E. S. S. I. E. seem to have an effect when the adventurer loses initiative

Additional Notes

• Monsters that "always win initiative" actually only have 10000 Init and can consistently be beaten with high enough mainstat and buffs.
• Until July 2010, the penalty for running extra Monster Level over 80 was even higher.
• Until January 2013, the extra Monster Level provided by the MCD/Detuned Radio/Annoy-o-Tron was not counted in the +ML Penalty portion of the formulas.
