# GameServerInfo - Character

## What it does

Controls character balance: how much damage each class deals in PvP and PvM, class-against-class damage, the formulas that turn stats into damage, defense, attack rate and speed, HP/MP/BP/SD regeneration, and the bonuses of pets and guardians.

{% hint style="info" %}
If [Balance Class](/customs/flagships/balance-class.md) is on (`CustomBalanceClassSwitch = 1` in Custom.dat), PvP damage between players is calculated by that system instead of the PvP rates on this page. The PvM rates, recovery rates and stat formulas here still apply.
{% endhint %}

## Where it lives

* `GameServer/Data/GameServerInfo - Character.dat`
* `GameServerCS/Data/GameServerInfo - Character.dat` (separate copy, see [Castle Siege server](/muserver/gameserver/castle-siege-server.md))

INI format, section `[GameServerInfo]`. Class codes (`DW`, `DK`, `FE`, `MG`, `DL`, `SU`, `RF`, `GL`, `RW`, `SL`, `GC`, `KUN`, `LEM`, `KIN`) are listed in the [GameServer overview](/muserver/gameserver.md#class-abbreviations). In the tables, `<C>` stands for any class code.

## How to read the formulas

Most keys in the lower half of the file are **divisors**: a stat is divided by the constant. A **bigger** constant gives a **smaller** result. Example: `DKPhysiDamageMinConstA = 8` means minimum damage = Strength / 8. Changing it to 6 raises a Dark Knight's base minimum damage by a third.

Rates (keys ending in `Rate`) are **percentages**: `100` = unchanged, `120` = +20 %, `80` = −20 %.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Never set a divisor to `0`. A missing divisor key is also 0. Keep every `Const` key present with a value of at least 1.
{% endhint %}

## Character Class Damage Rate Settings

| Key                | Default | Values  | Description                                                           |
| ------------------ | ------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| `<C>DamageRatePvM` | 0       | percent | PvM damage dealt by this class, applied after `GeneralDamageRatePvM`. |

The shipped file has `DamageRatePvP` for DW, DK, FE, MG, DL, SU and RF, and `DamageRatePvM` for all 14 classes.

{% hint style="warning" %}
`GLDamageRatePvP`, `RWDamageRatePvP`, `SLDamageRatePvP`, `GCDamageRatePvP`, `KUNDamageRatePvP`, `LEMDamageRatePvP` and `KINDamageRatePvP` are **not in the shipped file**, so they are 0. If your client has these classes and Balance Class is off, add them with `100`, or those classes deal no PvP damage.
{% endhint %}

## Character Class x Class Damage Rate Settings

One key per attacker/defender pair:

| Key                                | Default | Values  | Description                                                                                                              |
| ---------------------------------- | ------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `<Attacker>DamageRateTo<Defender>` | 0       | percent | PvP damage when a character of class *Attacker* hits a character of class *Defender*. Applied after the two rates above. |

Examples: `DWDamageRateToDK = 140` (Dark Wizard deals 140 % to Dark Knights), `RFDamageRateToDW = 25`.

The shipped file has all 14 × 14 pairs. One key in it is misspelled: `LEMDamageRateToKUM` is ignored; the real key is `LEMDamageRateToKUN`. Fix the name if you use those classes.

Final PvP damage (without Balance Class) = base damage × `GeneralDamageRatePvP` × `<A>DamageRatePvP` × `<A>DamageRateTo<D>` × (one event/duel rate), each as a percentage.

## Character Stuck Rate Settings

## Character Attack Success Rate PvP Settings

{% hint style="warning" %}
Lowering speed divisors makes characters attack faster. If you also use `CheckSpeedHack` in Common.dat or the [offline helper](/muserver/gameserver/common.md#mu-helper-offline), test the new speeds first: very high speeds can be flagged as hacks or desync the client.

## Example

Make Dark Wizards hit Dark Knights less in PvP and let Elves regenerate mana faster:

```ini
DWDamageRateToDK = 120
FEMPRecoveryRate = 6
```

## Rules and pitfalls

* **Test balance changes on a test server first.** Small divisor changes have large effects at high stats.
* **Divisors can never be 0.** A missing `Const` key is 0.
* **PvP rates are ignored when Balance Class is on**, except the event/duel rates when `CustomBalanceClassKeepEventRate = 1`.
* **GameServerCS has its own copy.** Castle Siege balance is set in `GameServerCS/Data/GameServerInfo - Character.dat`; the shipped CS copy has every class-vs-class rate at 100.
* **Newer-class keys** (GL to KIN) only matter if your client supports those classes; several of them are not read (listed above).

## Reload

`/reload character`. Stats are recalculated for each character the next time their attributes are refreshed (equip/unequip, level up, relog).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.morpheusemulator.com.br/muserver/gameserver/character.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
