Online modes
Ranked
Automatic matchmaking against players of similar skill. Every result moves your MMR and pays Kan. Only fighters you own can be picked.
Casual
Quick matchmaking for practice: no MMR change and no Kan.
Custom room
Create a room and share its code with friends. The host sets the number of rounds (1–5) and the time per round (30–300 s), and can allow owned fighters only. No MMR, no Kan.
Each match you pick 1–3 fighters and may add one assist. In ranked and casual matches each round lasts 120 seconds.
Ranked & MMR
Every player starts at 1,000 MMR. After each ranked match your MMR moves by the Elo system (K = 32): beating a stronger opponent gains more, losing to a weaker one costs more. One match moves at most about ±32 MMR.
| Tier | MMR from | Season reward |
|---|---|---|
| BRONZE | 0 | 500 Kan |
| SILVER | 1,000 | 1,500 Kan |
| GOLD | 1,200 | 3,000 Kan |
| PLATINUM | 1,475 | 5,000 Kan |
| DIAMOND | 1,825 | 8,000 Kan |
| MASTER | 2,250 | 15,000 Kan |
Voided matches (desync, conflicting results) never change MMR or pay Kan.
Seasons
Each season lasts 90 days. When it ends, everyone who played ranked that season receives Kan for their final tier (table above). MMR is then soft-reset: new MMR = 1,000 + (old MMR − 1,000) × 0.5, and wins/losses start from zero.
Current season: Beta, ends December 24, 2026.
Kan – in-game currency
- New accounts get 500 Kan.
- Ranked win: 200–300 Kan; loss: 50–100 Kan.
- Up to 3,000 Kan per day from matches. Fights shorter than 30 seconds pay no Kan.
- Events may multiply Kan, boost MMR gains on wins, give daily login Kan or discount the Shop.
- Spend Kan on fighters and assists in the Shop.
Fair play
- Disconnects: you have 20 seconds to rejoin; after that your opponent wins.
- Quitting a match counts as a loss, even in the first 10 seconds. Each quit within 24 hours locks matchmaking: 1st – 5 minutes, 2nd – 30 minutes, 3rd and later – 24 hours.
- Only the latest game version can play online; the game updates itself on launch.
- Anti-cheat checks every match; matches with conflicting results are voided and suspicious accounts are reviewed by an administrator.
