Gems, gear, and staying free-to-play
TipsGems are the currency you earn from combat, and you spend them to unlock gear that improves your performance in fights. Because gems flow naturally from playing, there is no point in the game where spending real money is required.
- Fight to earn gems and coins from combat.
- You can unlock both gear and Scripts without spending Robux.
Leaderboard rewards and rare items
Check
The leaderboard tracks every player's standing, and your position determines which rare items and Scripts you can access.
- Leaderboard rank unlocks rare Scripts and items.
- Rare items and Scripts are gated behind rank.
Titles, auras, and character customisation
Tips
As you advance through the game, rare titles and auras unlock to show off your progress to other players. Auras change the visual appearance of your Script, while titles display alongside your name.
- Titles — unlock as you progress and appear next to your name.
- Auras — visual effects on your character that change with progression.
- Both are rewards that unlock as you progress.
Private servers and the admin panel
TipsAny player can spin up a private server at no cost. The server owner gets access to an admin panel, which comes with abilities that regular players in that server do not have. This makes private servers a practical choice when you want to play with friends in your own space.
- Creating a private server costs nothing — there is no Robux fee.
- As server owner you receive an admin panel with exclusive abilities.
- Use private servers when you want a controlled session with friends rather than a public lobby.
