This is the most important part of the user interface. You’ll be using this to chat, battle foes and do other things!

At the very bottom of the Battle Bar in the green box is your gold counter. This keeps track of all the gold you currently have. The bar to the left is your Class Points bar. This shows how much progress you’ve made to ranking up your Class. Hover the cursor over it to show how many Class Points (CP) you have, the current rank and percentage completed. As you gain class points this bar will turn green.  The bar to the right is the Experience bar. This acts the same way as the Class Points bar but for experience points (XP). By filling this up (turns purple) you will level up your hero and become stronger!

The red box shows where you can put text to chat with others. Just enter the text and click “send” (or press Enter) The little arrow pointing up (or down) will expand (or close) the chat window. By clicking the horizontal lines to the right of that will bring up a list of staff approved chat options and emotes.

The yellow box shows your class skills. Each class has five skills, the first one always being your auto-attack. Hover the cursor over the skills to show what each skill does and when in battle, by left-clicking on them will activate the skill or you can press the 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 key on your keyboard to activate them as well. Using a skill will use up some mana and after using it, it will have to cooldown before you can use it again.
