Rohan Online's HUD has nine distinct windows and knowing what each one does is the difference between fumbling through menus and playing fluidly. Each window serves a specific purpose — from tracking your own buffs to filtering chat during large-scale Township Battles. This guide breaks all nine down so you know exactly where to look during combat, crafting, and chat.
The 9 UI Elements at a Glance
| # | Window | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Status Window | Displays your character's Level, HP, MP, M.Kill count, and basic stats. Click it to self-target your own character. |
| 2 | Target Window | Appears whenever you target a character or monster. Shows the target's active buffs and debuffs. Press ESC or click the X to close it. |
| 3 | Buff Window | Lists all buff and debuff skills currently active on your character. Double-click any buff icon to deactivate it early. |
| 4 | Mini Map | Shows your current position and the surrounding area. Press M to toggle it open or closed. |
| 5 | Side Bar | A compact toolbar with quick access to Party Matching, the Mini Card Game, Merged Inventory, Recycle System, and Exchange Inventory. |
| 6 | Chat Window | Displays all incoming chat. Switch between tabs — All, Party, Legion, Guild, and Alliance — to filter messages by channel. |
| 7 | System Message Window | Shows combat feedback and notifications: damage received, items picked up, and Cash Item expiration warnings. |
| 8 | Basic Menu | The main menu bar. Opens Character info, Inventory, Skill tree, Party panel, and the Item Mall. |
| 9 | Skill Window | Your action bar. Drag skills, items, and actions into the numbered slots (0–9) to create quick-access hotkeys. |
Practical Tips
Self-targeting via the Status Window — Click your own Status Window when you need to check your buffs or cast a self-buff without accidentally targeting a nearby player or monster.
Removing buffs early — If you accidentally applied the wrong buff, or a debuff landed and you need to clear a slot, double-click the icon in the Buff Window to remove it immediately. This is also useful when switching build modes mid-fight.
Chat tab discipline — Keep the Chat Window on the All tab while grinding solo, but switch to the Party tab in group play to cut through world-chat noise. Legion and Alliance tabs are essential during Township Battles.
Skill Window management — Fill all 10 slots (0–9) with your most-used abilities. Less-used skills can still be triggered from the Skill screen (K), but having your rotation on the action bar is faster in combat.
Target Window in PvP — Watch the Target Window closely when fighting players. The buff/debuff icons show whether your target has active protections (e.g. invulnerability buffs) before you commit to an attack.
