**How to Play:** **Hit other players with your sword**
* Clanging swords with result in a stun (0.25 seconds), putting your sword in its default position
* An opponents shield acts as a barrier, that will not stun you, but will stop the sword
**Sword Speed Matters**
* Players begin with 10 Health points
* Damage of a swing depends on sword momentum (can be seen in Bottom Left)
* A swing with maximum momentum can kill an opponent in one hit
* Weaker swings will take several hits to take out an opponent
**Stamina Matters – Manage It!**
* Stamina is exerted by the force you swing your sword
* The less stamina you have, the slower you can swing (less damage)
* This helps prevent attack spamming, for more skilled gameplay
* If you have less than 35 stamina, you become exhausted
* When exhausted, you regain stamina more slowly, and cannot jump
* Sprinting also stops you from regaining stamina
