What is Raid & Rush
Raid & Rush is a brisk arcade battler that rewards quick wits and bold moves. Jump in for short, punchy skirmishes that test your reflexes and strategic instincts.
How to Play
Control your raider with the arrow keys or WASD to move and dodge, then press the action button to strike when in range. Keep an eye on your energy meter, as every attack and dash consumes it.
Tips for Playing
- Watch your opponent's cooldown timers; striking right after they swing is a safe opening.
- Use the environment to put obstacles between you and incoming attacks.
- Don't waste energy on a long chase; wait for an opportunity close by.
- Practice tapping the dash just before an enemy lands a hit to trigger a brief invulnerability window.
- Spend early moments memorizing the arena layout to plan your retreat routes.
