How a match works
StepWhen you load in, you spawn in the lobby with a starter stick already equipped. Press the start button and matchmaking finds other players automatically. Once you land on the battle stage, the goal is to swing your stick and push opponents off the edge. A round ends when everyone has fallen or time runs out, and then a results screen appears.
- Wait for the lobby the game drops you there after loading, no setup needed.
- Press start matchmaking runs automatically and sends you into a battle stage.
- Swing at opponents hitting an enemy pushes them toward the edge.
- Check the results screen it appears once the round ends, then you can queue again.

Stick types and how to choose
TableEvery stick has its own special ability, and more powerful sticks generally cost more credits to unlock. That said, a simple stick in confident hands beats a flashy one used badly. Try several options in real matches before settling on a favourite, because the right fit depends on how you like to play.
| High-power stick | strong special ability, but may take more practice to use consistently. |
| Simple stick | straightforward to use, good for building core skills early on. |
| Long-range stick | useful when you want to poke enemies without closing the gap. |
| High-speed stick | fast attacks help when multiple enemies are crowding you. |
| Heavy stick | each hit sends opponents flying a greater distance. |
Earning credits and unlocking sticks faster
CheckCredits are the currency you spend to unlock sticks, and you earn them by playing matches. Because rounds are short, the fastest path to a full collection is simply queuing again and again. Two boosts stack on top of your base earnings and are worth knowing about.
- Have you joined the official group it adds a permanent 10% credit bonus to every match?
- Do you have Roblox Premium that stacks another 10% on top, bringing the combined boost to around 20%?
When you keep losing
WarnIf you are struggling, the solution is almost always one of two things: you are using a stick whose special ability you do not fully understand, or you are letting yourself drift toward the edge too often. Switching to a different stick for a few rounds can also break a slump, since a fresh tool forces you to think more carefully.
Leaderboards and long-term goals
SummaryOnce you have unlocked every stick, improving your technique and maintaining your play rate are the main levers left.

Common questions
FAQCan you unlock every stick without spending Robux?
Yes. Credits drop from playing matches, and no stick is locked behind a paywall. Joining the group or having Roblox Premium speeds things up by around 10% each, but neither is required — it just takes longer without them.
Does the stick you pick actually change how you play?
Every stick carries a different special ability, so yes, your choice shapes your playstyle. Try a few before committing to one.
