Once you start a fight, you can't just walk away
from it. If the fight is not going well, you can
attempt to FLEE, or another character can
RESCUE you.

If you lose your link during a fight, then your
character will keep fighting, and will attempt to
RECALL from time to time. Your chances of making the
recall are reduced, and you will lose much more exper-
ience.

You will sometimes lose experience for attempting
to flee, and will always lose experience for success-
fully fleeing. The amount of experience lost per attempt
has been lowered, and you will no longer lose exper-
ience on every attempt made.

RESCUE: In order to successfully rescue you must first
practice the skill.

Information

Rescue

Contrary to what was once widely believed, the rescuer does not need to target the actual tank. He can choose anyone currently fighting and his or her opponent will then focus on the rescuer.

Another way to change tanks, much more efficient than rescue when it can be done, is style tanking.

Success of rescue depends on the learned percentage of the rescuer and the luck stat of both the rescuer and the rescued. Each luck point translates into a percentage point, which either raises or lowers the initial learned percent, and has significant impact on whether the rescue skill will likely succeed or not for a typical 80% learned rescue.
