Wrestling

Wrestling in Ultima Online

Wrestling is a skill commonly utilized by mages to complement their spellcasting abilities. Unlike other combat skills, it requires both hands to be empty for effective defense against attacks.

Wrestling skill is automatically checked during unarmed combat and influences the frequency and damage of your attacks. Previously, having a spellbook in hand didn't count towards wrestling, but it now does, allowing mages to equip spellbooks with additional properties while using wrestling.

At skill level 70, wrestlers gain the ability to Disarm opponents, and at 90, they can deliver a Paralyzing Blow, both achievable without needing the Tactics skill.

Wrestling also benefits from special Mastery abilities: Knockout, Rampage, and Fists of Fury.
