Core combat: guard, light attacks, and heavy attacks
Summary
The game gives you three main actions: guard, light attacks, and heavy attacks. Knowing when to use each one is the whole game.
- Guard use only when you need it, not constantly, so you don't burn through your stamina and health faster than necessary.
- Light attacks fast and chainable, good for chipping away at an opponent's health and stopping them from setting up a big hit.
- Heavy attacks hit hard but leave you open, so land them when an opponent drops their guard or is already low.

Choosing gloves and styles
TipsThe game offers multiple boxing styles and gloves, and gloves directly affect how your attacks behave. Some favour raw power; others favour speed. Picking the right combination for the way you want to fight makes a real difference.
- Try several different gloves early on so you understand what each one changes about your attack patterns.
- If a match is going badly, switching to a different glove that counters your opponent's style is a legitimate option.
- Use your chosen style as a lens: the glove that fits your style will feel consistent and comfortable rather than awkward.
Winning a fight step by step
Step
Most fights follow the same rough shape. Patient pressure works better.
- Open with light attacks chip at their health steadily.
- Watch for the opening when their guard slips or their health gets low, that's the moment to commit a heavy attack.
- Stay disciplined when you're the one hurting if your own health is in danger, guard rather than gambling on an attack.
Staying alive in a 24-player room
CheckWith up to 24 players in one room, you can quickly find yourself attacked from multiple directions. Managing your position on the map is just as important as managing your punches.
- Avoid getting cornered by two or more opponents at once keep moving so you're not easy to surround.
- When your health drops low, disengage and create distance before someone else capitalises on it.
- Factor in each opponent's gloves and style a matchup that suits you is worth picking, and one that doesn't is worth avoiding.
- Conserve stamina throughout the game itself flags stamina conservation as the first thing to keep in mind.

Common questions
FAQWhat should I focus on when I'm just starting out?
Start by getting comfortable with guard and light attacks so you can react to what opponents throw at you. Once that feels natural, experiment with different gloves and styles to find a combination that matches how you like to play. Trying multiple gloves is the fastest way to figure out what clicks for you.
How do I beat someone who's much better than me?
Watch how they attack and what gloves they're using. If your current gloves put you at a disadvantage against their style, swap to something that suits the matchup better. Chip with light attacks and wait for a real opening before committing a heavy.
