Arenas, Casual, and Ranked

Casual 1v1 is two rounds with overtime on a tie, Ranked is first to two, and ten named arenas share one select screen.

Every duel starts from the same lobby. You are safe until you cross the boundary. After that, other players can hit you.

Queues

PLAY opens Play a Duel.

  • Casual 1v1 Duel plays two rounds. A 1-1 tie continues until someone pulls ahead.
  • Casual 2v2 Clash is the team queue. It can be locked until you finish enough duels.
  • Ranked 1v1 plays three rounds, first to two. Rating rules are in ranked rating.
  • Custom is on the same panel. Its rule options were not published.

You can also walk into the glowing zone by the Ranked sign.

Arenas

The Select Map and Weapon screen lists Classic, Hillside Dojo, Ruins, Volcano, Underworld, Fields, Sinking Town, Shrouded Bridge, Whispering Lake, and Chapel, plus Random. Random picks from that list. It is not an eleventh arena. The lobby is a separate hub and is not one of those duel maps.

No per-map hazards were published. Official soundtrack titles use the names Whispering Lake, Shrouded Bridge, Chapel, Underworld, and Hillside Dojo. A video titled as showing two new maps does not name the two maps in the title, so this guide does not assign them.

Each named arena has a short page under Arenas. The first-duel loop itself is in how to play.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dueling Grounds free to play?

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.
