Attacks to watch out for
WarnMost attacks target your enemy, but a couple can backfire on you.
Attacks you have to unlock
StepTwo attacks sit behind unlock conditions tied to in-game badges.
- Unlock Metal Summon the Altar of Metal and collect the gift it offers. Doing this earns the Altar of Metal badge and adds Metal to your possible rolls.
- Unlock Darkness Obtain the Light attack through a normal roll, then get pulled into Darkness's realm while you have Light active. This triggers the Not so Light Anymore badge and unlocks Darkness.
Quest difficulty tiers
CheckQuests give you structured goals on top of the normal arena fighting. Each difficulty tier — Easy, Medium, Hard, and Extreme — rewards a badge the first time you complete it.
- Completed an Easy quest at least once
- Completed a Medium quest at least once
- Completed a Hard quest at least once
- Completed an Extreme quest for the final quest badge
Building up your roll count
TipsEvery roll you make is counted, and the game awards badges at major milestones.
- Reaching 100 rolls is the first milestone.
- 1,000 rolls marks early progress.
- 10,000 rolls signals that you have put serious time into the game.
- 1,000,000 rolls is the highest milestone — the game's own badge description calls it insane.

Common questions
FAQHow do I unlock the Darkness attack?
You need to have the Light attack active when you get pulled into Darkness's realm. That triggers the Not so Light Anymore badge and adds Darkness to your possible rolls.
What happens if Wither's timer runs out?
If you are under Wither's effect and you have not killed your opponent before the effect ends, you die.
Is the game still being updated?
The original creator, NerdBurg, lost his accounts in a hacking incident on July 1, 2026, and is now making games elsewhere under Illusionary Studios. The game currently runs under the RNGArena account, and a placeholder badge in the game hints at an upcoming update.
Can I get the Jollyman unlock at any time?
No — Jollyman is only unlockable during the Christmas Event. Outside of that event window, the badge and the unlock are not available.
