Combat Flee

Fleeing in Combat

An actor in combat decides to flee based on their confidence actor value and their current HP and DPS. See Confidence for details about when and why an actor in combat decides to flee. Once the actor has decided to flee, they will try the following things:

1. Try to find a nearby teleport door to run through
2. Try to find a cover location away from the attacker to hide behind
3. Try to run away from the attacker

At the Flee Position

Once an actor has reached their flee position, they will wait until one of the following happens:

1. If they are damaged, they will boost their confidence and re-evaluate whether they should flee or not
2. If they detect a target too close by, they will boost their confidence and re-evaluate whether they should flee or not
