Hello all! I'm sure that all of you guys reading are probably scratching your heads by being confused by the items made available for use in the battle tournament threads! Well fear no more, as this thread will cover all the basics and information of how to use each and every item effectively. I will cover the basics and the specific details of the items. 
All items that are made available in the GU Battle Tournament will be listed here, so read accordingly! Now before I get to the actual descriptions and usage methods of specific items, I will first state out the basic instructions of how and what these items are used for:
1) First off, what are items?
- Items are tools that you use to air yourself within the GU battles. They can be used in different types of ways, and can be either helpful or perhaps useless to you depending on how you use it. Now, there are four types of items made available in the GU Item Store: Offensive Weapon, Defensive Armor, Healing Aids, and Special Surprises. All four of these item categories will host items based off the following attribute:
Offensive Weapon - these items boost your attack power. They are to be used offensively and are meant to add up onto your original RNG (random number generator) value.
- eg "Basic Sword"
Defensive Armor - these items reduce the damage your opponents deliver to you. Essentially, they increase your defense.
- eg "Monster Shield"
Healing Aids - these items restore your HP or hit points (health) during battle. Be sure to use them wisely!
- eg "Mini Health Potion"
Special Surprises - as their names imply, these items are full of surprises and host a variety of effects. Some may be helpful in attacks or others may boost your own stats. Keep an eye out for these ones.
- eg "Lightning Bolt"
2) Where can I get items for the battles?
-There are a few exclusive ways to get items throughout the forums. Firstly, one may simply go to the GU Item Store and purchase items there via GCoins (coming soon!). Additionally, sometimes a prize of a special item may be offered to the victor of random battles. Additionally, achieving a level up will have the player to be rewarded with a special item.
3) How many items can I carry at a time?
- So far, 3 is the limit to the amount of items a user may have during a battle. If you want to get more items, you must dispose one of the three you have before making that purchase. You can even sell your old weapons back to the store for an exchange of GCoins.
4) HOW TO USE ITEMS?
- Here's the big question. How does one use items? Well item usage is different based on the specific item you are about to use. However, most items rely on the random number generator for usage. Often, a random number generator must be used twice a turn if you decide to use an item alongside your basic attack.
For example, let's say that it is your turn in a battle. You decide to take your turn and use the RNG (random number generator) for your basic attack. With a limit of 20-80, let's say your basic attack value is 40. However, you then realize that you have a "Basic Sword" along with you. To use this item, use the RNG again, but instead use the minimum value as 1 and the maximum as 4. Now generate a value. If your generated value is 1, then that means that your sword missed and as a result you will only do 40 damage to your opponent and your sword attack failed. However, if you received a generated value of either 2, 3, or 4, then that means that your sword attack has worked! Double your original RNG value by 2 (the Basic Sword doubles your original damage value) and now perform 80 damage to your opponent! Same applies for the Mini Health Potion - 1, the potion fails....2,3,4 and the potion works and recovers 50 HP of your health!
Easy?
If you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to ask me or any of the other staff members. Thank you.
