Bypass "You have low HP - better get away fast" block by healing before battle

Bypass "You have low HP - better get away fast" block by healing before battle
Posted 2020-12-17 18:50:21

Hi devs!

One thing that I noticed is that if you are too low on HP to engage in a battle, it doesn't allow you to fight that enemy even if you heal first. I think it would be great if healing right away would allow you to bypass this and fight the enemy anyway. It seems to be pretty common to try to heal through random events first, only using healing salves as needed/before a battle, and it can be a bit disappointing to be forced out of a fight due to low HP when you have healing salves on hand. Especially now that the fox applicators have been released, many users are going to be focusing on combat more than ever, so I think it would be good to have the option to fight these enemies when you have insufficient HP upon encountering them, as long as you are able to heal first.

If this isn't possible, it might be a good idea to instead include a disclaimer somewhere that using healing salves won't allow you to fight this enemy, as it would prevent users from accidentally wasting healing salves.

I think that implementing this would require coding from the devs.

Thank you for considering my suggestion, you've all been doing a wonderful job working on this game and you are very appreciated!

Support! I hate it when I come across an enemy way above my level but I can't fight it because I've forgotten to heal before clicking explore. It's especially easy to forget since your HP bar on the explore page doesn't update if you healed directly from your hoard in another tab.

Support! You can heal before a battle as long as you have enough hp to enter the battle, so it was a big surprise to me when I realized the option to enter the fight wouldn't appear if you hadn't had enough at first.

Absolutely support, this is very troublesome when I finally find an enemy I need or is around my level but I’m on low hp because I didn’t want to waste healing salves only to lose it in random explore messages. I don’t see why we shouldn’t be able to heal and then fight in these scenarios.

Support!

Especially when you don't realize your health might be low before fighting an enemy! I've done that before and lost, even to enemies below my level! x_x;

So much support, sometimes I hover on borderline low HP to save salves and get some explores that take away those critical 1-3 HP right before battle that I am now forced to skip x-x

I wholeheartedly support this. I do not like using Healing Salves until needed, and like to rely on explore to regenerate health until I find a suitable enemy. Permitting this bypass makes sense in gameplay all around, so I certainly believe it has sense in being applied here as well.
