Blind commit. Each round you both choose a move in
secret, then both moves resolve at once. You cannot react
to their choice — only read them from the history.
⚡⛰🌊
The triangle. STRIKE beats
GRAPPLE; GRAPPLE breaks
GUARD; GUARD stops
STRIKE. Rock-paper-scissors with weight.
🍃
Prana economy. FOCUS gives you breath
but leaves you exposed — anything that lands lands hard.
GUARD earns +1 prana while blocking.
ART and MIST_STEP are powerful
but cost prana to commit.
🌫
The Mist-Step is a bet. If they attack this turn,
you dodge and counter. If they don't, you whiff and waste
prana. Use it as a read, not a hope.
✦
Hidden combos. Some three-move sequences awaken
named techniques that grant the trigger move extra weight.
The duelists know them; the move list does not. Find them
by playing, or by digging in the source. The opponent will
announce one when it lands.
📜
The mind-scroll is the game. While the opponent
reasons, their <think> trace renders in
the footer. Reading it tells you what they think
you'll do. That is the centrepiece, not a debug pane.
