How to Play Knockout
Step 1: Enter the Arena. Once the match starts, use the joystick or WASD keys to move your character around the ring. Keeping your distance is key to avoiding an early hit.
Step 2: Attack and Strike. Tap the punch button to land quick jabs. Hold the button down to charge a Heavy Strike, which deals more damage but leaves you open for a second.
Step 3: Guard and Dodge. Use the shield icon to block incoming attacks. If you time your move perfectly as an opponent swings, you will perform a Perfect Dodge and slow down time.
Step 4: Build your Momentum. Every successful hit builds your Super Meter. Once it is full, press the Ultimate button to trigger a cinematic Knockout move.
Step 5: Be the Last One Standing. In Battle Royale mode, the arena shrinks over time. Knock your opponents out of the boundaries to eliminate them from the match.
Frequently Asked Questions (F&Q) of Knockout
1. What is the main goal of Knockout?
The goal is to deplete your opponent's stamina bar or knock them out of the fighting ring to be the last player remaining.
2. How do I unlock new fighters?
You can unlock new characters by completing the Season Pass, earning Trophy Road rewards, or using coins in the Fighter Shop.
