- Pick an Aspect choose from the Aspects available to you at the start.
- Punch click on PC or tap on mobile to throw a basic attack.
- Use Q fires the first skill of your current Aspect.
- Use E fires the second skill; for Splash, this is Healing Fountain, which restores about 25 HP for anyone standing in its small radius.
- Use R fires the third skill of your current Aspect.

How Hits work and why they matter
SummaryHits are the currency that unlocks Aspects. The leaderboard displays your Hit total publicly alongside cherries, so you can see how you stack up against everyone in the server. Farming Frute is a reliable way to build your count without relying on other players.
- Hitting a player earns Hits each time your attack connects.
- Killing a player gives an additional reward on top of regular hit earnings.
- Hitting Frute a farmable source that does not require other players.
- Hitting Balith the dungeon boss also counts toward your total.
- Balith's orb picking it up after the fight adds more Hits.
- Gamepasses 2x Hits, Deluxe Revolver, and Gold Rush Swords each double what you earn.
Two Aspects with special unlock conditions
TableMoss and Warden each have their own requirement. Going after them gives you a goal beyond just grinding numbers, and both reward you with a badge at the same time.
| Moss Aspect | obtain a mossy orb from the enemy called Lichen to unlock it and earn the Fair Trade badge. |
| Warden Aspect | defeat Balith and grab the orb before any other player does to unlock it and earn the Guardian of the Dungeon badge. |
