DUELS

Victorian London, 1887

Cast spells with your hands. Duel with your mind.

THREE FACTIONS

Choose your tradition. Master your elements. Each path reshapes the battlefield.

Master Lin Zhaowen

The Spellcaster

Wu Xing Elementalist

Channel the five classical Chinese elements through ancient ritual. Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, and Metal bend to your will as you master the balance of creation and destruction.

Master Lin Zhaowen

Scholar-physician of Limehouse

Professor Alistair Vane

The Scientist

Victorian Technologist

Harness the cutting edge of Victorian innovation. Electricity, Magnetism, Chemistry, Steam, and Clockwork become instruments of precision warfare in the hands of rational minds.

Professor Alistair Vane

Inventor beneath the Royal Institution

Sergeant Kira Oduya

The Hunter

Cross-Faction Hybrid

Draw from both traditions to forge your own path. Combine Eastern elemental mastery with Western technological precision into a loadout no purist would dare attempt.

Sergeant Kira Oduya

Veteran of Southwark's forge

Motion-Powered Combat

Thrust

Push forward to launch your charged attack across the battlefield

Slash

Sweep sideways in an arc, a lighter hit that carries a faction-specific effect

Uppercut

Scoop upward from the waist: part of the blow pierces straight through walls

Slam

Raise high and bring down sharply: overwhelm a wall and it shatters, absorbing nothing

Flick

Snap your wrist early in the charge for a faster, cheaper cast at lower intensity

Flip

Invert your device to raise a defensive wall that persists until broken

VICTORIAN LONDON

Autumn, 1887. Gothic horror meets penny dreadful adventure across fog-choked streets and gaslit laboratories.

Frequently asked questions

How do you cast spells in Duels?

Charge a spell, then move your device: thrust forward to launch it, slash in an arc for a faction effect, uppercut to pierce a wall, slam to shatter one, flick for a cheaper cast, or flip your device to raise a defensive wall. Prefer not to move your phone? Tap to Cast offers a fully tap-based duel.
