Take your moment.
Steel, stone and cold water. PS1-style pixels, sharp reactions. Win three rounds to take the duel.
Start with a wooden sword and a peasant's clothes. Earn your armor through ranked victories, achievements and levels.
Make them commit
Slash, stab or strike overhead. Feint into another attack, reverse your swing and punish a mistimed defense.
Turn defense into damage
Parry, answer with a counter, or kick to break a held guard. Watch your stamina: every exchange has a cost.
Climb, or settle a score
Find an opponent automatically and climb the Elo ranks. Send a private lobby link to a friend for a duel without ranked rewards.
