Common questions
FAQHow do I find slugs in the stages?
Walk through the entire stage rather than sticking to the main path. Hidden slugs sit in out-of-the-way corners, so careful exploration is the best approach.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. The 2v2 and 3v3 arena formats let you team up with friends and fight together. Joining the game's group also connects you with the wider community.
What makes Negashade useful in a fight?
When you fire Negashade, it is nearly invisible to your opponents, so they struggle to see the attack coming.
