How do you get Katana?

It is free. Open the bottom Weapons icon and equip it. No Coin price was published because the menu gives it to you.

How do you use Katana?

A September 2026 guide routes Katana pressure as light, light, light, heavy, into a Finisher. That string is one published route. An October 4, 2026 comparison calls the Katana the strongest weapon and says it has no meaningful weakness. A July 3, 2026 season page and other October write-ups instead treat the Naginata and Gauntlets as the ranked standouts. Those letter ranks are not a board on this site. Named cosmetics include Bloodluster, Christmas, Dark Matter, and Deep Blue. Own the Katana before a skin will equip, then equip the skin from the weapon submenu. A December 11, 2025 shop snapshot priced Bloodluster at 450 Gems, Dark Matter katana at 595 Gems, and Deep Blue katana at 395 Gems.

FAQ

Dueling Grounds ⚔️ roster 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.
