Mobility Perks

  • Higher Jump: Increases jump height for better vertical mobility
  • Speed Boost: Increases movement speed for better horizontal mobility
  • Air Dash: Allows a mid-air dash in any direction
  • Floating: Reduces falling speed for better air control

Defense Perks

  • Heavy Weight: Reduces knockback from attacks
  • Energy Shield: Periodically absorbs one hit
  • Explosion Resistance: Reduces damage from explosive weapons
  • Quick Recovery: Faster recovery after being knocked back

Offense Perks

  • Damage Up: Increases damage dealt by all weapons
  • Knockback Plus: Increases knockback effect of your attacks
  • Fast Reload: Reduces weapon reload time
  • Extra Ammo: Increases ammunition capacity

Character Builds

By combining different perks, you can create specialized character builds that excel in specific playstyles:

The Tank

Focused on survivability and endurance, this build combines Heavy Weight, Explosion Resistance, and Energy Shield. While not the fastest or most damaging, this character can withstand significant punishment and is difficult to knock off the stage.

The Ninja

Prioritizing mobility and evasion, this build uses Higher Jump, Speed Boost, and Air Dash. Perfect for players who prefer to outmaneuver opponents rather than trading blows directly. Excellent for quickly grabbing weapon crates and controlling the battlefield.

The Gunner

Maximizing weapon effectiveness with Damage Up, Fast Reload, and Extra Ammo. This build turns any weapon into a more lethal tool, allowing you to quickly build up knockback on opponents and finish them off efficiently.

Hybrid Builds

Some of the most effective characters combine perks from different categories to create balanced fighters. For example, combining Speed Boost with Damage Up gives you both offensive power and the mobility to position yourself advantageously.
