# Rules of the fight

## Health and kicks

* Everyone has **five health**, shown as five green bars at the top right.
* A landed kick takes **one**. Kicks land at close range and only on someone you are facing.
* Health **regenerates** after four seconds without taking damage, one bar at a time.
* At zero you are **WASTED**. In Free Roam you respawn far from your killer. In the arena you are out for the round.

## The arena is stricter

|                 | Free Roam                          | Arena round                                         |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Lives           | Unlimited, respawn after each fall | **One**                                             |
| Who can hit you | Other free players                 | Other entered players only                          |
| Start           | Wherever you are                   | A random safe spot, full health, **3 s protection** |
| Money           | None                               | 500 per knockout, pot to the survivor               |

The server judges every kick: distance, timing and health are checked there, not in your browser. A kick that looks like it landed on your screen but was out of range on the server does not count. This is also why nobody can cheat a hit in.

## Things that help

* **Sprint** with Shift and kick while moving. You do not have to stop.
* **Jumping** does not make you immune, but it breaks the other player's aim.
* **The Sabre** knocks props about but it does not hurt players. Leave it for the escape.
* **Watch the radar.** Other players are dots. In a round, every dot is someone who can end you.

## Wanted level

Knockouts in Free Roam earn **wanted stars**. Stars spawn LSPD officers who chase and kick you, and each kick they land counts like any other. Stars fade if you stay clean. In the arena the police are not part of the round.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bawsaq.org/the-arena/rules-of-the-fight.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
