Getting Started on Switch: Step-by-Step
New to the game on Switch? Follow this sequence to hit the ground running on day one.
Buy and install
Purchase from the Nintendo eShop or your preferred retailer after the October 28, 2026 launch, then install before your first session.
Pick your fighter
Start with the Balanced Fighter for forgiving damage, speed, and survivability while learning the systems.
Learn the fighting lane
Move vertically and horizontally to avoid getting surrounded, and attack isolated enemies first rather than pushing into crowds.
Practice defense
Use blocks against group approaches and attempt counters only against predictable single attacks until your timing improves.
Manage RIOT supers
Save RIOT attacks for emergencies such as being cornered or facing reinforced boss arenas rather than spending them on opening waves.
A clean, measured clear beats a fast, reckless one. Finish encounters with health to spare, treat each stage transition as a resource checkpoint, and you will reach the finale without grinding retries.
