Item Options & Descriptions
Comprehensive Mechanics Guide
Understanding the intricate web of stats, excellent options, harmony jewels, and ancient bonuses is the key to dominating the continent of MU. This guide breaks down every core mechanic and item enhancement available to your character.

Core Stats (The 4 Bars)

Every character in InfinityMU manages four primary gauges.
HP
Health Points
Your life force. If this reaches 0, you die.
SD
Shield Defense
Your PvP Armor. Absorbs damage before HP.
AG
Ability Gauge
Stamina for using your class skills.
MP
Mana Points
Energy consumed for casting spells.
🛡️ PvP & SD Mechanics
The SD (Shield Defense) is the most critical parameter for PvP (Duel, Guild War, Castle Siege). It acts as a buffer to protect your Health.
  • The 90/10 Rule: In PvP, 90% of incoming damage is absorbed by your SD, and only 10% hits your HP directly.
  • Restoration: SD only regenerates automatically in Safe Zones.
  • Bypassing: Certain options (like "SD Ignore") allow you to bypass this shield and attack HP directly.

Pink Options (PvP/380)

These are specialized options found on high-tier items (often Level 380 items) specifically designed for PvP combat.
Attack Success Rate
Increases your chance to hit an enemy in PvP.
Additional Damage
Adds flat guaranteed damage to your attacks.
Defense Success Rate
Increases your chance to completely dodge an enemy attack.
Max HP / SD Increase

SD Auto Recovery
