Fight

Put the pen down and fight. Wave after wave of red ninjas, your bare hands, and a lot of kicks. Free, in your browser, on your phone or computer.

On a phone, hold it upright for Fight. The fighters are bigger and your thumb reaches the whole arena. (The running modes are the other way round: turn the phone sideways to see further ahead.)

How to fight

Tap an enemy

He flashes in and hits. Where you tap matters: the head, the body, or the legs to sweep them off their feet. Keep tapping and the hits chain into a combo.

Draw a path

Drag a line and he dashes along it, kicking the first enemy he reaches. Great for crossing the arena fast. Each dash uses an ink drop, and the drops refill.

Counter on the gold !

When an enemy winds up, a gold ! shows the moment to strike. Hit them right then and their blow never lands, time slows, and yours hits twice as hard.

Your ultimate

The round button fills as you fight. When it glows, tap it. The Tornado kick spins into the nearest enemy and one more beside them. Or learn the Ground slam (1,200 coins): a great leap and both fists into the ground, throwing everyone near into the air.

On a computer: click an enemy to hit, click and drag to dash, and press E (or click the round button) for your ultimate. P pauses.

What comes at you

Enemies drop in one at a time and fight back with punches, kicks and sweeps of their own, and each wave brings more of them, faster.

Fighters in red trade blows up close. Quick ones in orange hit sooner.
Shield fighters keep their guard up until you break it.
Archers shoot from the edges, and mages in blue throw ink orbs that follow you. Tap an orb to hit it straight back.
Brutes hit hard, and shadow ninjas vanish and reappear with a flying kick.
From wave 6, elites in deep red don't flinch mid-swing: only a counter stops them.

From wave 4 they get tougher every wave, with more health and harder hits. They get smarter too: new ones come in on the side with fewer of them so you end up surrounded, they hit straight back if they catch you finishing a blow up close, and archers aim where you're running, not where you are.

Every fifth wave ends with a warlord (see the four below). Beat him and that wave becomes your checkpoint, so next time you can start from the wave after it. Leave in the middle of a fight and it waits for you: Resume fight picks up at the start of that wave.

The fight also moves on: every five waves you land in a new world, from Bamboo Valley through the Red Desert, the Snow Peaks and the rest, all the way to the Mist Caves.

The four warlords

They come in this order, one at the end of every fifth wave, then all four again, each tougher than the time before. His name and health show at the top of the screen. Beat one for the first time and you win his trophy to wear: the Iron Brute's helm, the Bow Master's green, the Shadow Lord's smoke trail and the War Chief's red band. They can't be bought, only won.

The Iron Brute, a huge iron-grey warlord in a horned helmet, winds up a ground pound

The Bow Master, a tall green warlord, draws a great longbow

The Shadow Lord, a dark warlord, lands a flying kick out of a cloud of smoke

The War Chief, a deep red warlord in a horned helmet, winds up a blow

What you start with

Every fighter starts with the jab, uppercut, roundhouse, knee, sweep, flying kick, air kick and stomp. Tap an enemy's body and he throws a combo: jab, jab, a kick, jab, uppercut. Tap high or low to change the blow.

Every three hits in a row raise your combo by one, up to x9. A long streak scores more for every knockdown and hits harder too, and it ends the moment you're hit.

Grow your fighter

The Shop, Fight tab: the ultimates, from the Tornado kick to Shadow Clone

Everything for your fighter is bought with coins in the Shop, under Fight: ultimates, the moves to learn, skills you buy once and upgrades you level up.

Skills

Finisher: a blow that leaves an enemy under 20% health finishes them (not warlords).
Steady feet: hits no longer knock you off your feet.
Last stand: once a fight, the blow that would knock you out throws everyone off you and leaves you on a quarter of your health.
Shadow step: every third dash is free and stuns everyone near where you land.

Upgrades

Power: 10% more damage a level, 5 levels.
Toughness: 20 more health a level, 5 levels.
Dash drops: an extra dash drop.
Air time: another hit before you land.
Swiftness: 8% faster into each blow a level, 3 levels.
Sharp eye: a wider moment to counter.
Fury: your ultimate charges faster.

Ranks

Every mission you finish is a star, and every 3 stars is a new ninja rank: Initiate, Genin, Senior Genin, Chunin, Senior Chunin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, Shadow Guard, Kage and Legend. Your rank shows as a metal plate on your headband, bronze for a Genin, silver for a Chunin, gold for a Jonin. Each new rank pays coins, and higher ranks open new ultimates to buy.

Ultimates

Your ultimate sits on the button beside your health. Fighting fills it; when it's full, let it go. Buy ultimates in the Shop, under Fight, and pick which one you use there.

Ultimate	What it does	Opens at	Coins
Tornado kick	A spinning leap at the nearest enemy, then the one beside them.	From the start	Free
Ground slam	A great leap and both fists into the ground: everyone near is thrown into the air.	From the start	1,200
Spinning blade	He spins from enemy to enemy, cutting up to four in a row.	From the start	1,500
Shuriken Rain	A leap, and a rain of exploding shuriken: five on every enemy in range, and more all over the ground. Every star bursts where it lands. Nothing blocks them.	Chunin	1,400
Whirlwind	Everyone near is pulled in, then upside down on his hands, legs sweeping round: four spins that kick them into the air.	Senior Chunin	1,600
Shadow Clone	A shadow copy appears behind the enemy in front of you and fights for 10 seconds, hitting as hard as you, so they're caught between you.	Shadow Guard	2,000

Under Build in the Shop, in Effects, a Finisher changes how the last blow of each wave looks: an ink burst, a sakura storm, a paper tear, a bolt of lightning, gold rain or fireworks.

Moves you can learn

Coins from any mode buy new moves in the Shop, under Fight. Each one comes out by itself at the right moment, so there is nothing to memorise.

Tips

Hold your phone upright. Fight is made for portrait.
Watch for the gold !. A counter stops the hit coming at you and fills your tornado kick faster.
Save Whirlwind for when they surround you, and Shuriken Rain for when they spread out.
Surrounded? Draw a path out, or tap high on one of them and fight from the air.
When your screen edges pulse red, you are low on health. Back off with a dash before the next wave.
After a fight, the results card replays your best moment and the K.O. Tap Make clip to turn it into a short video, or Share for a picture of the fight.
Fights started from wave 1 go on the Fight leaderboard. Tap Ranks on the results card to see where you stand.
Every knockdown and every wave cleared earns coins. Reach wave 5 for the Street fighter badge and wave 10 for Last one standing.
