Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Into the Abyss guide to combat. For frequently asked questions (FAQ), see
Into the Abyss FAQ.
Introduction
The following guide takes the player through the combat of the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Into the Abyss Expansion with as little effort as possible. This guide is targeted at people who have either completed or nearly completed the base game. Completion of at least the
Air God Dungeon is recommended to follow the largest portion of this guide.
Frequent skill swapping is a lot more important than in base game, so if you are struggling to progress try leveling some non-combat skills first.
Skill Trees are also extremely important, make sure you are acquiring the buffs as those points come in to make progression significantly faster.
This Guide is NOT designed with the Ancient Relics Game Mode in mind. Players looking for more information about that Game Mode should visit the Ancient Relics Guide.
A simplistic order for completing combat:

How Into the Abyss affects Combat
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Reversed Combat Triangle
In the Abyssal Realm, the direction of the combat triangle is reversed. Note that if your AR is reduced by the Abyssal Intimidation passive, the combat triangle is applied last.

Damage Reduction useless.
Abyssal Resistance is the stat required to reduce damage by these enemies.

Combat Simulator
Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the Combat Simulator to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.

Throne of the Herald and
Atlas of discovery combat will make

Point's of Interest
Into the Abyss Combat
Early Game Into the Abyss
After collecting all suggested gear from the
Gear section, proceed to start combat. Immediate goals are to begin gathering
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Abyssal Damage resistant gear. Remember that leveling all skills simultaneously is a lot more important in
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Into the Abyss than base game. It is recommended that other abyssal skills are leveled a bit before starting combat to get their AXP bonuses from the respective
Skill trees:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking.
Items that are acquired from other skills will be omitted in the interest of verbosity.
Remember to check Dungeon guides before attempting to ensure you meet the minimum requirements! Or just use Combat Simulator if you have that.
