Modes and maps
The mode decides how you win. The map decides where the fight happens. Pick both in the lobby before you ready up.
Duels
Duels is an elimination battle in 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3. Knock out the other side before your team is eliminated. There are no respawns, so surviving and helping a teammate escape can matter as much as chasing one more hit.
If a Duel stays tied, sudden death pushes the action toward a finish.
Bank Bust
Bank Bust unlocks at 250 peak trophies and is a 3v3 objective battle. Break the enemy vault before they break yours. Players respawn, so a knockout costs time and space rather than ending your match.
A strong team changes gears: defend when your vault is under pressure, then push when the other side is recovering. Fighting well helps, but the vault decides the winner.
Learning a map
Each arena has its own platforms, gaps, routes, and places to recover. In your first few rounds, notice:
- where you can change height quickly;
- which platforms give you room to dodge;
- where a missed jump becomes dangerous; and
- the shortest safe route back to your team or objective.
Modes marked Coming soon can be previewed in the lobby, but they cannot enter matchmaking yet.
