I am wondering because when I don't have missiles I seem to lose more... (also, are missiles used in studio duels)?

[mountbara]

yes they are, in every fight, fighting missions, duels, studio fights and parties

Anytime you are directly fighting another real person, you will use up missiles. Every shot costs you one missile. You fight other avatars in duels and studio fights.

 

Any other time, if you are fighting, you are fighting an NPC. Boss fights, date fights, fight missions, parties, film fight tasks, etc.  You never lose missiles while fighting NPCs.

Concur with CaptC.  Though the others said the same thing, he clarified the word 'used'

 

Missile stats are counted for every fight mission (map or party), duel (attack or defense), studio attack/defense.

 

However the only time the quantity is depleted is during duel attacks.

 

Additionally it's been noted that NPC stats are generated based on what your stats are at the time you choose to try the mission.  So unequipping your missiles before you chose a map fight mission, but equipping them prior to the timer running out should give you and advantage as your NPC opponent was generated based on you not having them. This at least as seemed to work for me.  Hard fight missions have gotten more wins since I started getting naked 1st.

I not only stepped on DParadise's explanation, I didn't quite get this right.  And speaking precisely, your statement is also not quite correct, Tabithia.

 

Missiles are used up when you ATTACK in a duel, but not when you defend.

 

Missiles are also used up during studio fights.

I did mean what you said about attacking in a duel only not being attacked in one.  

 

I didn't realize about studio fights though.  I'm assuming, like duels, only if you are attacking and not defending,  

[mountbara]

no, always in studio fights

One of the ways you can identify zombies in opposing studios, is that they are usually without missiles. Even if that studio does not use doubles (meaning the zombie does not attack, since they aren't signed up for the fight), the zombies will use up their missiles during studio defenses.

 

That in turn makes them more vulnerable to duels.

Just a little more explanation: you said missiles are not used when I defend in a duel.

So, when I attack someone in a duel, it doesn't matter if he has missiles or not, because he don't use it for defense?

They count toward his damage, but the number of "charges" doesnt deplete on defence in duels. Keep your missiles up all the time, take them off when you attack if you want to save them up for studio fights/ defence in duels and you are good
