Battle Gauge

The Battle Gauges are in place to stop people from attacking another over and over again continuously. If someone attacks and you die in the battle, then your battle gauge is set to 10 minutes for that player and 3 minutes for all other players. Which means no players can attack you again until your time is up.

Via the Battle Settings tab in the My Account page, you can change your battle gauge from the default 10 minutes to anything from 1-30 minutes.
