How to Play Knight Battle
Mastering the tournament arena requires disciplined positioning and sharp reaction timing:
- Arena Movement: Navigate the cobblestone courtyard using A / D or Left / Right Arrow keys on desktop, or directional touch buttons on mobile.
- Striking with Longsword: Left-click or press Space to execute forward sword slashes. Striking consecutively builds combo momentum and score multipliers.
- Executing Timed Parries: Hold Shift, Right-Click, or K (or the on-screen PARRY button) to raise your shield. Deflecting weapon blows prevents damage but consumes stamina.
- Evasive Dodge: Press J (or the on-screen DODGE button) to swiftly roll past heavy incoming attacks.
