(Please spend some time reading the rules and guide, it is worth it.)
1. You may choose to play against computer or live players.
2. If you choose to play against computer, you can choose either the elimination or solo mode.
In the elimination mode, the fight will be like world cup elimination, with the winner of a certain group vs the winner of another group and so on. So, we have quarter finals, semi finals and finals. (I might change it to be like champion league in the near future so that it can be more fun.) The way the match is arranged is purely random. More information can be found here.
In Solo mode, you try to win all characters of the game. If there are 16 characters in the game, you need to win 15 matches. More information can be found here.
In Live Player mode, you play with another Jinyong fan from somewhere else on the planet. If you find the computer too stupid and not challenging enough, this is the place to look for the ultimate challenge. More information can be found here.
3. The loser will be the first one to reach 0 or negative life. You can be considered the winner only if you reach the finals and defeat your opponent.
4. You may post interesting comments at the end of the game. Please do not post nasty or obscene comments.
5 This game has been tested thoroughly in different browsers and it seems that IE works the best so far. We strongly recommend that you use IE to play the game.
During the battle, you may choose to attack, defend or rest. There are pros and cons for each choice.
Primary Attack: You focus your attack using this skill. You may select 1 primary attack only. Different skill used up different amount of stamina and inner strength. Depending on the attack, different amount of stamina and inner strength may be used. More damaging attacks tends to drain up more stamina and inner strength. Some characters have the same skill but because they understand the skill differently, the damage may be different as well.
Secondary Attack: While attacking, you try to use this skill if given the chance. The focus and therefore the chances of hitting your opponent is therefore lower than your primary attack. High damaging skills may not be used in the secondary attack. You may select 1 secondary attack only. Depending on the attack, different amount of stamina and inner strength may be drained.
Special Attack: The whole fighting freezes if either you or your opponent launches a special attack, meaning that your enemy and you cannot use the primary and secondary attack. To use the special attack,Your inner strength, and stamina has to be more than 20. Special attacks can do different damages but can also drain your stats alot. If can be a good strategy to win if used correctly.
Aim: You must choose where to attack your opponent during each round. This is the damage amount in decending order: Head, Legs, Arms, Torso. Though aiming the head causes the most damage, it is the hardest to hit as well., ie the chance of hitting the torso is the higher. If you find your opponent hard to hit, try aim for easier body part such as the arms or torso.
Defend: Increases the chance of blocking or dodging your opponent. Also allows you to regenerate your stamina and inner strength slowly.
Rest: Regenerate your stamina and inner strength quickly with abit of life. But because you are conserving energy and moving slower, you open up more rooms for your enemy to attack you.
Score: There will be a score given at the end of the game for each mode you play. The score is calculated based on the total number of moves you take to defeat your opponent, the total damage that you have done to the opponent, and the number of matches you play. It is a complex calculation. The higher the score, the better you will rank in the hero's ranking table.
Below is a list of all the stats of a character:
Life: Everyone starts at 100%. The first one to reach 0% loses the fight.
Attack: The overall attack power. The higher it is, the more damage it can do to the opponent.
Defense: If your defense is high, it will reduce the amount of damage done.
Inner Strength: Different amount of inner strength is used depending on what type of attack you make. Attacks that require higher inner strength usually does more damage.
Stamina: Used when you are making an attack. Attacks that does more damage usually requires more stamina.
Speed: Increases or decreases the chance of hitting your opponent. It also affects the amount of damage done.
Intelligence: This is different from wisdom. It is your "fighting intelligence" - the ability to respond to immediate changes and come up with solutions to remedy the situation. This attribute affects almost everything.

* The game is the challenge of your fighting skills, brains and abit of luck. The game is programmed such that every character has equal chance of winning the Hua Shan Lun Jian title. Knowing the background of your character helps because you can maximise his/her potential in the fight.
* Look at the skills of your character here. The details of each skill is listed here. Knowing the best skills of your character is important.
* For some reason, certain characters in the game seem to be weaker or stronger against other characters. Some statistics of the fight can be seen here.
* If your opponent is using strong attacks, you know they will drain their inner strength and stamina quickly. When your opponent stats is low, they will either rest or defend.
* Always take note of your life, inner strength and stamina. You will lose the battle if you life falls to or below 0. You will automatically rest if your stamina or inner strength falls to or below 0. Depending on the skill you choose, you will lose stamina and/or inner strength if you hit. If you miss, a small percentage of your inner strength and/or stamina will be lost as well.
* Secondary attack has lower chance of hitting the target but drains inner strength and stamina as well. When your inner strength or stamina is below 0 and yet if you chooses to attack, you will automatically forfeit your primary attack to regenerate your life, inner strength and stamina. If you have chosen the second attack option, you may just have enough inner strength and stamina to launch the second attack. Utilize this attack carefully especially in long battles.
* Special attacks can be draining to your primary stats but can do different types of damage to your opponent.
* Every character has a skill that does not drain inner strength... another area to exploit in long battles.
* In a competitive match when the life of both fighters go below 0, the fighter with higher life wins.
* You will meet very strong opponents in the bonus rounds of the elimination game and there are a few ways to handle them. (but I will leave it for you to find out.)
