Duels

Duels are a player-vs-player system involving wagers/stakes, first confirmed to exist by the 2026-07-07 Patch's changelog rather than by firsthand play — no first-hand duel has been documented on this wiki yet.

What Is Known

The patch notes describe duels as having: an accept step for both players before a duel starts; a wager or stake that is held for the duel and returned on a stalemate; a restriction that blocks trading and starting new challenges while a duel is active; and a trade/duel window that can be closed with Escape. Beyond this, the mechanics of a duel itself (how one is initiated, combat rules, win/loss conditions, and what happens to the wager on a win) are unrecorded.

Duel Result Cards

As of the 2026-10-15 Patch, winning a duel produces a result card you can save: it shows both fighters, their duel records, and the spoils. The interface keeps your recent cards ("Recent duel cards", "Latest duel card") and labels the stake "Wager awarded — the winner takes the spoils."

The card spells out how the duel ended:

A win — the card lists what the winner took, as Gold and/or a count of items.
No winner — "Stakes returned": both fighters keep their stakes. This matches the stalemate rule from the July patch notes.
Forfeit — a duel decided by forfeit is marked "Decided by forfeit" on the card.

If the payout hasn't been confirmed yet, the card shows "Settlement unconfirmed" instead.

Bun companions are suspended inside duel areas, so they cannot help in a duel.
