More about this game
Your goal is to survive as many rounds as possible in 1-on-1 combat against shadow warriors. You must balance attacking, blocking, and dodging while managing a limited stamina bar. Every action drains stamina, forcing you to time your strikes carefully. The difficulty increases each round, with powerful bosses appearing every fifth round. A run ends when your health drops to zero, rewarding you with coins to permanently upgrade your stats.
Tips
- Watch your stamina bar closely. Dodging costs 28 stamina and attacking costs 14, so avoid mashing buttons or you will be left defenseless.
- Try to time your blocks perfectly. A perfect parry within the 0.11-second window stuns the enemy and multiplies your combo score.
- The fifth consecutive strike in a combo is a powerful finisher that deals extra damage and pushes you forward, but leaves you briefly vulnerable.
FAQ
- How do I unlock new character skins?
- You unlock new silhouette skins by defeating specific bosses, like the Shadow Samurai or Phantom Knight, while playing on the Insane difficulty setting.
- What happens when my guard is broken?
- If an enemy uses a guard break attack while you are blocking, you lose 48 stamina and become stunned for nearly half a second.
- How do I get more coins for upgrades?
- You earn coins by winning rounds. Standard enemies grant 8 to 10 coins, while defeating a boss every fifth round awards 25 or more coins.
