Understand Dungeons & Dragons Online enemy aggression: attack them first to initiate combat, defend your stronghold, and exploit weaknesses.

Enemies in Dungeons & Dragons Online typically remain passive until you initiate combat by attacking them first. Once engaged, they will pursue you. If you are actively trying to destroy their stronghold, they will persistently attack you. However, if you succeed in destroying the enemy stronghold and some enemies remain, they will all become aggressive towards you. Be prepared, as these remaining enemies will then attack YOUR STRONGHOLD, not your party directly.

Tips
  • To provoke an attack, you must attack an enemy first.
  • If you are attempting to destroy the enemy stronghold, expect continuous enemy aggression.
  • After destroying the enemy stronghold, remaining enemies will attack your stronghold. Ensure you are ready to defend it.
  • When facing a large group of enemies (around 10-15), strategically move your characters to the area where they are attacking.
  • Pay close attention to individual enemy strengths and weaknesses to determine how quickly they can be defeated.
  • Consider enemies similar to bees: if you do not bother them, they will not bother you.
  • Always ensure more than one character is attacking a single creature to maintain effectiveness.
