Fighting
- The combo. Tap or hold attack: two quick strikes, then a heavy finisher. The finisher staggers whoever it hits. It interrupts their swing and slows them.
- Read the wind-up. Blows land a split second into the swing. That's your window to block, shield or dodge.
- Plant your feet. You slow down while swinging. Strike when you're in reach; reposition between combos.
- Stamina is life. Attacks, blocks and dodges cost stamina. Run dry and your guard breaks. Stamina comes back; health doesn't.
- One special per world. It unlocks a few seconds after FIGHT. It can't be blocked, but a good dodge beats it. Use it or lose it.
The classes
Warrior
Longsword & shield
Discipline in steel. Blocks blows from the front, breaks guards with the shield, and ends fights with Blade Flurry.
Blade Flurry: three ripping cuts, 30% of the target’s life if all land.
Berserker
Twin war axes
No shield. No mercy. Faster on his feet, cleaves through crowds and leaps into the fight from range.
Leap Slam: launches through the air and smashes the ground for 30% of everyone’s life nearby.
Mage
Arcane staff
Reads the fight, shields every angle, and punishes crowds with an arcane burst that rings the ground.
Energy Ball: a homing sphere of force that takes 30% of the target’s life.
The worlds
| World | The place | Fighters |
|---|---|---|
| I. The Fallen Kingdom | A dead city under a blood moon. Lamps gutter in empty streets. | 100 → 60 |
| II. The Scorched Lands | Golden-hour ruins and sandstone spires. Nowhere to hide from the sun. | 60 → 30 |
| III. The Frozen Peaks | A mountain fortress in falling snow. The cold takes the slow. | 30 → 12 |
| IV. The Lost Jungle | A stepped temple, a stone lion, and the last few hunting each other. | 12 → 2 |
| V. THE ARENA | Two remain. A roaring crowd. One walks out. | 2 → 1 |
- Every world opens with a 3-2-1 countdown. Move, read the ground, then FIGHT.
- A zone closes in. Outside it you bleed every second, and the pressure grows when time runs out.
- Hit the survivor count and everyone left is carried to the next world, healing 25% on arrival. The two finalists are restored to full for the Arena.
Survival tips
- Don't chase every fight. Third parties end more runs than duels do.
- Finish the combo. The finisher stagger is what wins trades.
- Warriors: block on the wind-up, then shield-bash a blocker to break their guard.
- Berserkers: you can't block, so dodge early and punish with the cleave.
- Mages: shield, then burst when they crowd you.
