🛡 What is Bloodbound?

Bloodbound is a 1-on-1 medieval melee dueling game. Two fighters step into the arena and settle it with steel — best-of-3 sword duels, no luck, just skill.

Everything is unlocked from the start. Before each duel you pick any champion, any weapon, and any armor you like — longswords, axes, maces, spears and more. No grinding, no pay-to-win: the better duelist wins.

🎮 How to Play & Controls

Position, guard, and stamina win fights. Every action drains your Stamina — swing wild and you'll be left defenceless.

  • WASDMove around the arena
  • MouseAim your guard — flick left / right / up to change stance
  • Z / X / CHotkeys for guard stances (instead of flicking)
  • Left MouseLight attack — fast, low stamina
  • Right MouseHeavy attack — slow, can sever limbs
  • FBlock / parry — block at the last instant to parry
  • SpaceDodge
  • QFeint — fake an attack to bait a block
  • RKick — break their guard
  • ESignature move — when your Focus meter is full
  • P / EscPause

⚔ Two Ways to Fight

Practice

Fight the AI with no stakes — just train. Learn the stances, drill your parries, and try every weapon before you face a real opponent.

PvP

Duel real players. Play casual for pride and the leaderboard — or step up and duel FOR SOL.

Casual PvP and the daily leaderboard are completely free. SOL wagering is optional and explained below.

💰 Play for SOL — How Wagering Works

Want your skill to pay? Duel for real cryptocurrency. Here's exactly how it works, start to finish:

  1. Both duelists wager the same amount of SOL into a secure prize pool. You both risk equally.
  2. The minimum stake is about $0.20 (paid in SOL). You can host any amount from there up to a high ceiling.
  3. Host a match with your chosen amount — it appears on a public board anyone can see and accept. Or accept someone else's open match.
  4. Both deposits are confirmed on the Solana blockchain before the fight starts. No fight begins until both stakes are locked in.
  5. Win the best-of-3 duel and you automatically receive 95% of the pool. A 5% platform fee is kept.

Fair Play

The game server watches every match and decides the winner itself — you can't dispute your way to a payout. Cheating (illegal damage) or quitting mid-match means you forfeit your stake. If a match can't be judged fairly, both stakes are refunded. Every payout is automatic and settled on-chain.

Play responsibly. SOL is real cryptocurrency with real value. Only wager what you can afford to lose, and make sure skill-based wagering is legal where you live.
