How rounds and matches work
Summary
The structure is simple but brutal. There is no health bar to grind down — one kunai connects and the round is over. Matches run across several rounds, and the side that takes the most rounds walks away with the win.
- Round end one direct hit on an opponent finishes the round immediately.
- Match win the team that wins more rounds takes the overall match.
- Headshots landing a headshot is a valid finish.
- Movement wall-running, sliding, and jumping are tools for dodging incoming kunai as well as setting up your own throws.
Collecting and trading kunai skins
Check
Skins change how your kunai looks. Every skin in the game carries its own unique serial number, which makes each one individually identifiable.
- Open cases to receive a random kunai skin rarer skins are harder to land from cases.
- Check the serial number on any skin you receive, since every skin has one that is unique to that copy.
- Trade skins with other players to work toward designs you prefer.

Common questions
FAQHow many players can be on one team?
Teams go up to four players, so the largest format is 4v4. You can also play 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3.
Do I lose anything if I lose a match?
Losing a match carries no penalty — you can queue straight into another one. The only way to lose your account access is by cheating or farming with alt accounts, both of which result in a permanent ban.
Can I get a specific kunai skin I want?
Cases give you a random skin. Trading with other players is the way to go if you have a specific design in mind.

The game runs on PC, phone, and tablet, and it also supports controller input.
