You can string together up to 3 consecutive strikes. Time your inputs correctly during the combo window to unleash the full 3-hit chain! - Heavy Attack: A single, devastating blow. It deals massive damage but has a longer wind-up and a delayed cancel window, leaving you vulnerable if you miss. High risk, high reward—use wisely. - Guard & Guard Break: Hold to block incoming damage, but keep a close eye on your Shield Bar! If it completely depletes, you'll suffer a Guard Break, leaving you stunned and wide open for a massive damage window. - Parry: The ultimate game-changer. Guarding at the exact moment an attack lands triggers a Parry. This completely negates the attack and deals heavy shield damage directly to your opponent. - Dodge: Reposition and turn the tide! Timing your dodge perfectly grants a small invulnerability window ("Perfect Dodge"), allowing you to phase right through enemy attacks and counter from a better angle. Have fun, duelists! Keep in mind that combat is constantly evolving, and there will be plenty of balance patches based on your gameplay and community feedback. Community Discord: Meet other duelists, and share your best parries. https://discord.gg/evhW9pnwd The game features: - 2 Class (Stay tuned for more!) - Skin system - Leaderboards Special thanks to: Spawner - Animations ## Updates ### The "No More Lonely Duels" Update Jun 9, 2026 · Version 0.9.0.1 Training Bot Added: No more standing around while waiting for a friend in the lobby or when the server is empty!

We've added an AI opponent (Bot) to the game so you can test your skills and get used to those strict Parry and Dodge timings. **Improved** - Combat animation transitions and the overall weight of the sword feel have been smoothed out. **Fixed** - Arena Intrusion Bug Fixed: We fixed that infamous issue where players chilling in the lobby (not in combat) could suddenly wander into the middle of an ongoing match and interrupt the fight. The arena borders are now sealed; the duel belongs strictly to the two fighters (or the bot)! ## More by AetherCoreStudios | Package | Ident | Players | Favorites | Upvotes | Score | Markdown | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Realm Forge: Idle Game | aethercore.realm_forge | 0 | 7 | 6 | 20% | https://sbox.watch/games/aethercore/realm_forge/index.md | | Tessara | aethercore.tessara | 0 | 6 | 10 | 79% | https://sbox.watch/games/aethercore/tessara/index.md | | Infinity Cubes | aethercore.infinitycubes | 0 | 6 | 9 | 65% | https://sbox.watch/games/aethercore/infinitycubes/index.md |
