What is the goal of Shadow Fights?
The goal of Shadow Fights is to win a three-round bout using punches and kicks. Crucially, you must avoid your opponent's punches and kicks to win, so the game is as much about dodging well as it is about landing your own strikes.
Why does dodging matter in Shadow Fights?
Dodging matters in Shadow Fights because avoiding your opponent's attacks is explicitly how you win. A fighter who simply swings leaves themselves open, so slipping a punch or kick and countering it is what turns an exchange in your favour across the rounds.
How many rounds are in Shadow Fights?
Shadow Fights is fought over three rounds. Because you need to win the bout rather than a single exchange, consistency matters more than one lucky flurry, rewarding a patient fighter who takes fewer hits across all three rounds of the match.
What is the best approach in Shadow Fights?
