Aim the big one

When the gold bar fills, your ultimate is ready. Nine of them stop for a moment and let you aim: an arrow appears, and you tilt it before you let go.

  • The Lancer lunges straight into the air, then drops lance-first onto whoever is below.
  • The Wind Duelist hurls a cyclone that leaves you dizzy.
  • The Staff Monk's staff shoots out across half the arena.
  • Original music, and a short tutorial the first time you play.
