How it plays

Step 1: Knock your rival out of the ring or reduce their health to zero to win the match.
Step 2: Fighters swap Lash and Bebop each match by default. The winner stays on; the loser goes to the back of the line.
Step 3: Lower health means stronger knockback. Heavy melee knocks your rival away, Uppercut launches them upward, and the hook pulls them in. Guns deal no damage.
Step 4: Lash starts with Counterspell, Knockdown and Rapid Recharge. Death Slam has a 14 second cooldown. Flog heals twice as much.
Step 5: Bebop starts with Counterspell and Rebuttal. His hook has a 3 second cooldown and takes half your remaining health. Uppercut knocks you out below 10% health. Hook breaks Death Slam.
Step 6: Climb into the stands and the crowd throws you back into the ring, dealing damage and briefly disabling your abilities and weapons.
Step 7: After 90 seconds, the fighter with the higher percentage of health wins. Equal health starts sudden death.
Step 8: Choose another hero in settings or with /hero. Use /hero default to return to Lash and Bebop; other heroes are still being tuned.
