First session
Join and look at the bottom row — Dueling Grounds is free on Roblox and puts up to 14 players in a server. The lobby bottom row shows PLAY, Weapons, Store, Rewards, and Settings. You are safe until you cross the boundary.
Queue Casual first — PLAY opens Play a Duel. Start in Casual 1v1. Ranked and 2v2 Clash can stay locked until you finish a number of duels. A November 1, 2025 report said five wins opened Ranked. A September 10, 2026 guide only says a set number of duels, so read the button on your account.
Round count — Casual 1v1 is two rounds, and a 1-1 tie continues until someone leads.
Ranked — Ranked starts at a rating of 400 and plays first to two.
Fight one match on the Katana — Equip the free Katana from Weapons. Tap F on the windup to parry, hold F to block, and dodge with Q or Shift on the default PC keys. The loser of a round sees DEATH. The match ends when VICTORY replaces the round counter.
Defense — Frame windows, block, and the ultimate bar.
Controls — Official PC keys, mobile buttons, and the console gap.
Spend after the first match — Spend Coins only after you read the live Weapons price. Dual Daggers, Naginata, Gauntlets, and Kusarigama have agreed Coin prices. Warhammer, Curved Swords, and Bo Staff do not. Codes are optional and are separate from the Like and Favorite rewards.
Weapon prices — Agreed prices and the Early Access conflict.
Codes — Three strings were still listed as active on October 10, 2026.
Yes. The Roblox experience record shows no price. You still spend Coins, Gems, or Robux inside the game for weapons, cosmetics, and the Weapons Early Access pass.
What are the official PC controls?
The experience description lists M1 light, M2 heavy, F to parry or hold to block, Q or Shift to dodge, M3 or T to lock on, Ctrl to toggle mouse lock, Space to jump, and R for the ultimate. Those PC keys can be changed in Settings. The same description says the game supports PC, mobile, and console, and it does not print a controller chart.
What is the difference between Coins and Gems?
Coins, sometimes called gold in player guides, pay for weapons and some skins. Gems pay for many store cosmetics. Like, Favorite, codes, and match rewards can grant both. Gem pack sizes of 150, 400, 825, 1,725, and 2,700 were published without Robux prices.
When did Season One open?
The official channel posted a 33-second Season 1 trailer on March 20, 2026, and the description says Season 1 is open. Battle-pass tiers, ranked reward steps, and the seasonal cosmetic list were not in that description.
Is there an official Trello?
A July 3, 2026 code page says there is no official Trello. This guide does not link one.
Why is there no S-to-D weapon tier list?
Published letter ranks disagree with each other, and this site has not retested them. Use the weapon pages for prices and roles, then read the live Weapons menu.
