The Automated Combat System keeps your journey moving forward—even when you’re not actively at the controls. Characters can continue fighting, farming, and progressing with minimal input, making advancement smoother and more accessible across all playstyles.

Automation is enhanced through **support companions**. Certain classes can be assigned to assist, providing healing, buffs, defensive skills, and other utilities during automated encounters. These companions act independently, ensuring your main character remains effective and resilient during extended sessions.

### Slave Roles

* **Priest / Monk** – Healing, resurrection, and core buffs such as Blessing and Agility.
* **Crusader** – Defensive guardians with tanking skills and protective enhancements.
* **Alchemist** – Potion specialists with homunculus support and versatile utility skills.
* **Bard / Dancer** – Performance‑based buffs that amplify combat efficiency.

To activate and manage automation, players can use in‑game commands:

* `@autobattle` – Enables automated combat, allowing your character to continuously attack and farm.
* `@autoslave` – Assigns a support companion to assist with buffs, healing, and defensive actions.
* `@offlineauto` – Enables offline autoattack. This works only on autobattle.

These commands provide direct control over automation, letting players toggle features on or off depending on their strategy.

### Benefits

* **Ongoing Progression** – Characters continue leveling and farming without constant input.
* **Dependable Combat** – Support companions sustain survivability and efficiency.
* **Player-Friendly Accessibility** – Ideal for adventurers with limited playtime.
* **Balanced Automation** – Designed to keep automated play fair while still rewarding active dedication.
