Combat Tag

== Deception ==
Combat tag, or In Combat (In Danger), is the state a player enters upon being attacked in any sort of way, no matter if it did any effect. This includes dodging, parrying and blocking.
(Note: Allies through Vow Of Mastery, Vow Of Allegiance, guildmates, or being friends on Roblox do not proc combat tag if they hit you.)
The main purpose is to punish rage-quitting and logging in combat.
==== Indicated By ====
* The white/red skull is popping up at the top of the screen.
* Combat music of the Location you're in will start playing.
==== Consequences of entering combat ====
* Your natural health Regeneration is reduced, as well as the healing from Campfires.
* Some Talents proc upon inflicting a Combat Tag or by being inflicted with one.
** Example: Ready Or Not will cut the damage from the first hit you take outside of combat in half.
Hovering over the skull will show you the name of the entity that put you into combat tag or prolonged it, and the timer you will be in combat tag for. When in PvP, it will also show the number of players that you're currently in combat with.
== PvE and PvP ==
PvP combat tag differs from PvE combat tag.
==== PvE: White Skull ====
The White skull means you're in PvE combat tag. This combat tag will last 30 seconds, or until all the mobs that caused you harm are killed. This comes with limitations:
# You cannot switch weapons or armor during combat.(Unless you're Silentheart, in which you can switch weapons in combat with it's ability.)
# If you leave the game or disconnect during this, the game will treat it as death, even sending you to the depths or wiping you if you are already in them. However, if you were over 60% HP, you will not get punished in any way.
# When tagged by a Boss the skull turns orange, and shows their HP.
==== PvP: Red Skull ====
The Red skull means that you are currently being assaulted by a player and lasts a minute and 20 seconds. Turning on "No Holds Barred" in settings will make it so that attacking your allies or guild mates will put them in danger. This comes with limitations:
#You cannot switch weapons or armor during combat. (With the aforementioned Silentheart exception.)
# If you leave the game or disconnect at all, you will die regardless of your HP.
# Unlike the White skull, you can't get health packs from NPCs, only players.
== Combat Quotes ==
When the skull at the top appears for both PvP or PvE, it will also have a quote under the skull, it also shares the skull color, these quotes will vary depending on your state, and Location.
List of Quotes:
# "The Depths coil around your neck like a knot." while in the Depths.
# "The Void's influence draws you ever closer to the Depths." while in a Voidzone.
# "Your heart beats faster as the end draws near." while in a area that is not the Depths or a Voidzone and you are on your last live.
# "Adrenaline surges into your veins as tensions thicken." while in a area that is not the Depths or a Voidzone and you have two lives left.
== Trivia/Notes ==

* Bosses give a PvE Tag that lasts 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
** When tagged by a Boss the skull turns orange, and shows their HP.
