Controls to learn before your first fight

Check

In short Knowing every keybind before you queue saves you from dying to confusion instead of to a better player.

The control set is compact, so there is no excuse for not having it memorized. Left Click throws a punch, and everything else builds on top of that.

Left Click punch
F block to absorb incoming hits
Q dash to close distance or escape
Q while knocked flat ragdoll cancel to get back up fast
Double Tap W switch from walking to running
G fire your ultimate; 1, 2, 3, and 4 activate the four character-specific abilities

First steps when starting out

Step

In short Getting your first few kills is mostly about learning to block and dash before you worry about anything else.

Duels, which take place behind the construction site, are a lower-pressure way to test your skills one-on-one before jumping into full matches.

Block first spend your first matches holding F whenever an opponent swings, so you learn the rhythm of exchanges
Dash to reposition tap Q to create space when you are being pressured or to close in after a block
Try the Duel area head behind the construction site for one-on-one matches
Rack up kills over time milestones at 1, 10, 50, and 100 kills mark real progress

Combat habits that actually win fights

Tips

In short Reading your opponent and timing your abilities beats raw aggression every time.

If the server feels laggy, create a free private server. When you get ragdolled, hit Q immediately to cut the recovery time short.

Tips worth knowing

Block before the punch lands, not after — anticipate rather than react
Use character abilities (1–4) when your opponent shows a gap
Hold your ultimate for high-pressure moments; a well-timed G can turn a losing exchange around
When you get ragdolled, hit Q immediately to cut the recovery time short
If lag is making the game unplayable, open a free private server

Characters and the Mastery system

Table

In short Sticking with one character long enough to climb Mastery levels unlocks abilities and cosmetics without spending Robux.

Every character has a different set of abilities and an ultimate. The Mastery system rewards commitment — the more you play a specific character, the more that character opens up. Cosmetics, new abilities, and outfits all come through Mastery progress. Ranked maps are harder but pay out rewards.

Patriot	fully developed Mastery tree with new abilities, cosmetics, and an outfit already complete
Queen	has a working ultimate and Knife Recall ability available now
Chopper	unlockable character intended to help players defeat the seven
Stan	unlockable by completing all quests; becomes a playable fighter after you also defeat him as an opponent
Ranked map	Forest Ranked Map with ranked rewards

Kill milestones and special badges

Summary

In short The badge list doubles as a long-term goal sheet that keeps the grind meaningful all the way to 10,000 kills.

Beyond raw PvP, the game tracks your progress through 23 official badges. Some come automatically from kills; others require specific actions like finishing quests, clearing events, or simply getting hit by a train.

Glossary

Ultimate (G): Each character's most powerful attack, activated with G.
Block (F): Pressing F guards against incoming attacks.
Dash (Q): A quick burst of movement used to close in on an opponent or create space to recover.
Ragdoll cancel: Pressing Q while knocked down lets you recover faster instead of lying on the ground helplessly.
Mastery: A progression system tied to individual characters; continued play with one character raises its Mastery level and unlocks abilities and cosmetics.
Character abilities (1–4): Each character has up to four unique moves mapped to the number keys, separate from the universal punch, block, and dash.
Ranked map: A harder match environment — currently including the Forest Ranked Map — that pays out ranked rewards on completion.
Private server: A free server you create yourself so you can play without the lag or crowding of public lobbies.
Beta: The game is still in active development, meaning bugs are fixed and balance changes arrive regularly.
