My down arrow.
My down arrow has been the hardest worker out of this, the Undertow team. Between myself, him and enter, we've ran through thousands of battles.
Now he's gone. Today, for no explainable reason, my down arrow just STOPPED working. No pops or snaps, just down, enter, down enter, then down, but nothing happened.
And it's not the down "Function" in my computers head, because if I turn off the number lock, that down works.
RIP down arrow.

Just use an IBM model M keyboard. They are indestructible...

or start below and press up button, duh -_-
anyway, stop molesting your keyboard, you obviously bash the button instead of pressing it. might a steel keyboard be something for you?

Actually the little-known C+Enter method is by far the most efficient. Only works when fighting characters in a clan though.

just having clan members in your fight list is most effectivester.... ? :P

The disadvantage of c+enter is that it is a 2 handed method, and slows you down. One of the reasons I consider switching to the Dvorak keyboard layout ;)

Or he could hit right instead of down.

Actually, Aco, having only clan members in your fight list is NOT the most effeciant way for growth.
Usually when you fight in a clan your fighting only clan members. To have a decent sized fight list this means fighting a far way down.
I have non clan members on my list, and clan members. Why? Because, they give me better rewards, duh! If I have a choice between fighting a 400k score clan members and a 450k score non-clan member, I'm taking on the non clan member. My rewards will be higher than the rewards from the clan member, even with a 15% bonus.
Now, here is how I work through my clan list:
Down enter, repeat till your done. Then HOLD UP. Your back at the top, start over.
If I used your method, I'd have to hold DOWN instead. OOPS? That buttons not working.
C-enter skips all my non-clan enemies.
And I didn't know right would work. And was ready to flame until I tried it, and it did, to my utter surprise.

you don't have to press down to start below, where do you got a mouse for?

Or you could press home/end instead of holding down down or up to get to the bottom or top.
