Modes of Play (SF1)

Modes of Play refers to different types of battles available to players in Shadow Fight. These include fights with bosses, demons, Tournaments, player vs player duels and more. Players can access these modes by pressing the Fight button on the interface. This will redirect them to the map where all battle structures are found. Most of these battles require energy and players are rewarded with XP and Gold if they are victorious.

Boss Fights
Main Article: Bosses (SF1) Bosses are enemies that are superior in difficulty to other enemies encountered in Shadow Fight. They can be found in the Boss Fights structure. Bosses possess higher HP and deal more damage than regular opponents as they have stronger weapons. Defeating a boss will yield great rewards. The player will be given a time limit of 6 hours to defeat their chosen boss. However, there are different requirements to fight each of the bosses. Every battle costs 40 energy, therefore being in a clan would be very beneficial. After defeating a boss, players have a chance to get fragments of their weapon and can use them at the Workshop to merge into a weapon.

Demon Fights
Main Article: Demons (SF1)

Demons is one of the structures found on the map in Shadow Fight. It offers the players the opportunity to fight the five demons. Like bosses, these demons are harder to kill than regular opponents. Demon battles require 10 Ki Energy each. Unlike other regular battles, there is no time limit to finish the demons. Certain weapons are also needed to fight certain demons. Whenever the demon is almost knocked out, players can use charges to increase their damage. These charges can be earned as a drop from defeating one of the demons, or be purchased from the shop. If the player is in a clan, the amount of damage dealt by other clan members will be added to the demon, making it more eficient and easier to defeat the demon.

Tournaments
Main Article: Tournaments (SF1) Tournaments help players gain rating points and XP. There are 29 tournaments available in the game. In each tournament, players have to battle random players. Usually they would have to spend some of their energy points and gold before starting the tournament. Most tournaments can only be unlocked if the player has enough rating points.

Unarmed Fights
Players must fight without equipping any weapons. However, Shurikens and Kunais can still be used. Players will earn 25 XP and 10 Gold upon winning.

Two Players
Unlike normal battles, this type of battle does not require energy. Players will be able to control 2 players in this battle.

Friendly Duel
Unlike normal battles, this battle costs 10 energy points but does not cost coins. Players will be able to fight against their friends.

Dan Test
Main Article: Dan (SF1)

Players, in order to increase their Dan, must undertake the Dan Test. Players will have to defeat opponents in succession to pass the test.

Gate of Shadows
The Gate of Shadows is a final battle against all seven bosses in Shadow Fight 1. One seal from each boss is needed to unlock the Gate of Shadows. It can be played at any time as long as the players have all seals needed. Once opened, the player shall fight and defeat all the bosses, one round per boss. If victorious, the player will be rewarded with the Sword of Shadows.

Shadow Arena
Shadow Arena is a game play mode in Shadow Fight. It allows users to enter special tournaments if they have enough gold. There are three tournaments: Lone Lotus, Mark of Ninja and Master Sigil. There is a time limit and the player must defeat three enemies. Time left, player's health, damage done, and victory/defeat at the end of the fight will affect the player's score. Players with the highest score in the tournament will get most valuable prize, the player who finishes the tournament with second highest score gets second most valuable prize and so on. The prize will be lowered as the total score decreases until it eventually becomes zero. Therefore, many players with low scores will not receive any prize. Maximum players allowed in a tournament is stated and decreases with each tournament while prizes and the cost of entering are increased.

Today's Quest
Main Article: Today's Quest

In Shadow Fight, players will receive a daily quest named "Today's Quest". It can only be done once a day. Players will receive an award or an energy potion upon completion (previously they would earn glory).

Tower of Death


The Tower of Death is one of the modes of play in Shadow Fight. It allows the player to use weapons for battle. This mode is similar to Survival in Shadow Fight 2 but the player can fight an infinite number of enemies. The reward for defeating each enemy is 5 coins.

Players start the Tower of Death with 150 seconds. They have to defeat as many opponents as they can. Once the player defeats an opponent, they wins that round. At the end of the Tower of Death, players will earn coins and XP for clearing rounds. (If they beat their previous record, they receive a bonus).

The timer does not reset for each round the player completes and will continue to run down. Players will also gain a small percentage of their health back upon completing a round. The game will end when the player's health is completely depleted or the timer runs out.

Try Your Luck
Main Article: Try Your Luck! Try Your Luck is a mini-game based purely on chance. Players encounter a number of henchmen (it starts from 2 and increases). They must roll a dice and the number on it has to be the same as the number of henchmen or more. If it is less, the remaining henchmen will attack the player and the player loses one life.

Players will also encounter some of the bosses. When the player defeats the boss, he will earn a weapon. The weapons that can be earned are the Maces, Kama or Flying Hammers.
