ultima online how to attack

In Ultima Online (UO), attacking depends on whether you're playing the classic client (pre-Age of Shadows) or the newer Enhanced Client (EC). Here's a general guide: Basic Attack (Classic Client & EC) Target the Enemy: - Left-click the enemy to target it (a red health bar appears). - Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift to enter "war mode" (your character raises their weapon). Attack: - Left-click the enemy again to attack. - If in war mode, your character will auto-attack the target. - Use "All Names" macro (default: Alt+R) to see hidden enemies (like stealth players or monsters). Special Moves (If Enabled): - Some weapons have special abilities (e.g., Whirlwind Attack, Armor Ignore). - Assign them to a macro or use the context menu. Macros (For Faster Combat) Create an Attack Macro: - Open the macro menu (Alt+R). - Select "Last Target" or "Attack Last" for quick re-engagement. - Example: PvP & Advanced Tactics Strafing: Move in circles to avoid enemy attacks. Kiting: Attack while running to maintain distance (useful for archers/mages). Interrupt Casting: Hit spellcasters to disrupt their spells. Troubleshooting "I Can't Attack!" - Ensure youre in war mode (Ctrl+Shift). - Check if youre flagged as a criminal (gray) or murderer (red). - Some areas (like guard-protected towns) prevent attacking.
