Hello Tibians! This article, for some of us, might seem quite obvious, nevertheless, we've realized that for some people, the use of PVP hand modes is still confusing so we would like to help you clear your doubts, once and for all!

1. White hand mode

The white hand    can only be used when the orange square surrounds the enemy skulled (PK)

These orange squares will appear only when and if someone attacks a player from your own guild, or a member of your party nevertheless the PK will lose this orange square if his victim (your guildmate or party friend) dies under his attack. The benefit of using the white hand mode is that you WON'T get pz locked by attacking or killing a PK, this means you will be able to enter a Protection Zone at any point. 

This hand is mostly used to support a player from either your guild or your party by using mana potions on them or healing spells. 

Note: With white mode activated you risk opening pvp situation on every skulled player with orange square that tries to walk through you, this means they'll be able to kill you with no unjust punishment.

2. Yellow hand mode

 If an enemy attacks a player that is not a guildmate, you will see a brown square surrounding him and you won't be able to use a white hand to attack him. 

The yellow hand mode     can be used to attack ANY skulled player on the screen, either if he has an orange square surrounding him or not. The downside of using the yellow mode is that you WILL get pz locked as soon as you attack a PK, this means, you won't be able to enter any protection zone until your battle situation resets (1 minute after the last aggressive action).

This hand is mostly used to support any player from any guild by using mana potions on them or healing spells, also can be used to support a member of your guild or party that opened yellow mode on a PK and he's pz lock.

Note: With the yellow mode activated you risk opening pvp situation on any skulled player that tries to walk through you, this means they'll be able to kill you with no unjust punishment.

3. Red fist mode

By using the red mode  you will open skull and situation on every single player that tries to walk on you; also your area attacks will hit every player on screen and your magic walls will open situation on everyone that tries to walk on them. You have to be aware that if people were to die after you did any of the things listed, you will receive a % of unjust by each of their deads, this is quite a risky pvp hand mode for those that do not desire to get red skull characters.

This hand pvp mode is the only one that allows you to use mana potions or healing spells on a white skulled player, nevertheless, if you do so, you will open white skull and situation on every player attacking the PK that you supported and if they were to die, you will receive a % of unjust by each of their deads risking gaining red skull or black skull.

So when is this most used?

This red fist mode may sound ridiculously useless, never the less this also can be extremely helpful. Imagine the situation where you and your team are trying to kill a player, but this player reaches a stack or he puts himself in a situation where there are not enough square meters for your team to open skull on him, how could you kill him then? Well, this is when the red mode is useful, in this case, you can use one mana potion on the person or people that opened skull on the target and this will get you into their pvp situation, this means you will automatically open skull on the target, you'll be able to enter the stack or trap and attack him from there. This tactic is normally done only with makers.

4. Closed fist mode

The closed fist mode    can be used either to open a white skull on one certain target or to open yellow skull by attacking one certain PK on your screen. This is the most common pvp hand mode used by either of the two situations.

In the situation when there is a screen full of pks, it is the safest way to kill one by one without opening situation on all of them. Nevertheless, you have to be aware that if you were to avalanche a crowd of PKS on your screen, you risk placing your mouse and throwing the avalanche on one non-skulled player, hence this would make you open white skull yourself, therefore in a situation like this, is best to use it by the battle list with the option "Hide-non skulled players" checked.
