How to play

Rules of the pit

Every hit raises the damage number above your fighter. The higher it climbs, the farther you fly.
Knock your rival past the edge of the screen to take one of their stocks. Last beast with stocks left wins.
Feral: dealing and taking hits fills the bar under your stocks. When it glows, press Feral (Q on keyboard, L3 or Y+B on a controller, the glowing FERAL button on touch) to unleash your fighter's super. You can even cancel a landed hit into it.
Parry: tap Guard just before a hit lands. You take nothing and the attacker is left wide open. Mashing Guard will not do it; each tap needs a short pause. Clash: when two attacks meet head-on they cancel out and knock you both back, unless one hits much harder and overpowers the other.
Hex can glide: hold Jump while falling and he soars on spread wings for a moment.
Hold down to duck: fireballs, feathers and head-height swings pass over you and light hits barely move you, but you cannot walk and low attacks hit you harder. Double-tap down to drop through a thin platform.
Spinning back hit: hold away from your rival and press Attack. Your fighter turns their back, spins all the way around and lands a heavy backhand. It is slower than a normal punch but hits harder, and it combos off a jab.
On the ground you always face your rival and back away slowly. Tap a direction, then tap and hold it to sprint: you turn and run that way at full speed, then face them again as soon as you let go or attack. Just holding away walks you backward.
Serra hunts: her Saber Snap and pin Mark you with jade claw scratches for 5 seconds. Against Marked prey her pounce flies farther and her big finishers launch harder, and landing one uses up the Mark. Marked? Keep your distance until it fades.
Stuck in a juggle? Each hit in a row in the air stuns you for less, and from the 4th you can fight back on the way down. If your hit lands first, you are out. You also get one Breakout per stock: after 4 hits in a row in the air, press Guard to burst free. The ring next to your stocks shows if you still have it.
Bat it back: time any attack to meet a fireball, feather or can and it flies back at whoever threw it. Every return makes it faster and stronger, so rally it until someone misses.
Shield blocks hits but wears down. Shield + a direction rolls, Shield + Down sidesteps, Shield in the air dodges.
Attack and Special do different moves depending on the direction you hold and whether you are on the ground.
