Dusk Duel
How to play
Rotate rows and columns to match Ember/Thorn blades and Tide/Moon shields. The rival adapts: repeating a lane halves blade damage. The board shifts after every match. Shield triples earn focus: spend three on a six-damage riposte or six-point guard. Every third strike hits for five. Defeat 30 health before yours runs out.
Tap a row or column arrow to rotate that lane. Match three or more identical weapons or shields. Read the rival intent before each turn. Tab + Enter works; R rematches.
