Powerups #

Powerups are a fun and strategic way to gain momentum in battle. You can add up to two Powerups to your load out before your match and use them when needed. Don’t waste them though!  Once you use a Powerup, it’s gone forever. 

Powerups are purchased with Coins in the companion app or found in reward boxes.

When you get a Powerup, it is added to your Inventory. You can view your current inventory of Powerups in the Cards area of the app.

Each Powerup card can be used once like a typical consumable item. 

There are three levels for every Powerup: Basic, Supercharged, and Hysterical. The higher the level, the more powerful it is!  But you better save your Coins because they are also more expensive and harder to find.

Using Powerups In Battle #

Powerups can not be used in the first round of each battle. Once you reach round two, they will show up on the Champion orb table.

To use a Powerup, simply pick up the one you want and put it in the hopper in the front of your platform. Then slice and punch through the short pattern to activate it. 

Each Powerup works a little differently. Some Powerups are not available until you reach higher level XP levels. Read below to learn what they do and how to use them.

Grenade Powerup #

The Grenade Powerup does just what you’d expect… launches a grenade out to the battlefield, damaging all enemies and structures that are unlucky enough to be in its blast radius! 

To use the Grenade Powerup, choose it from the Champion orb table, put it in the front hopper, and then slice and punch through the short pattern.  Your Grenade is now ready to be launched. Point with your right hand to the place on the battlefield that you want to target. Enemies that are in its damage area will highlight with a red stroke around them. When you are aimed correctly, hit the Deploy button with your other hand.

There are three levels of Grenade Powerups:
