❤ Precise, Weapon-Based Combat

The gameplay centers around carefully timing powerful, weapon-based attacks and punishing opponent mistakes. Combos max out at 2-3 hits, eschewing lengthy string execution in favor of reading your opponent, controlling spacing, and landing devastating strikes.

❤ Vulnerable Blocking and Disarmament

Blocking attacks leaves you vulnerable, as there is no "safe" blocking. Blocked attacks have recovery frames that an opponent can punish. The Weapon Gauge system allows you to disarm foes, leaving them open to devastating counterattacks.

❤ Mobility and Fundamentals

Dashes, rolls, and quick hops give you ways to control the pace and create openings. Proper spacing and whiff punishing are essential to land those hard-hitting attacks.

❤ Defensive Mastery

Timing Weapon Flips to parry attacks is a core defensive skill. Anticipating opponent moves and punishing them is crucial, as most attacks are highly punishable on block.

❤ Diverse, Nuanced Cast

The roster of 28 unique characters, each with their own weapon type and playstyle, provides a wealth of matchup knowledge to explore. Mastering a character's specific nuances is part of the journey.
