Duel (SF2)

Duels are a mode of play available in all Acts of Shadow Fight 2. They are unlocked after the player defeats two bodyguards of a demon. Duels are very much like a single stage of Challenges. They have a maximum of three rounds on each try. The player must score two victories to win it. The player will face several unnamed ninjas with random equipment. The rounds are generally timed 100 seconds before which the player must defeat the opponent or it will count as a loss (exceptions exist). When a duel is lost the player can choose to play it again. If the player wins the duel, the mode gets locked and cannot be played for four hours. Duels run on a four clock. After every four hours if the person does not win a duel in any act, a new opponent and challenge is presented. Duels usually notify the new challenges after four hours.

Duels in Act I have a rule of giving random equipment to both fighters. Duels in other Acts have fully random rules where the player is either put at a disadvantage, the opponent is given superiority or the battle rules are altered along with random equipment. The reward of winning the duel increases from when it is unlocked (usually the third skill level in an Act) by levelling up till its highest when the player reaches the sixth level of that Act. Thereafter it remains the same for the rest of the series. Also throughout a level the reward remains the same. Like all other modes, duels offer fight bonus. The XP awarded by winning a duel is greater than that offered by winning Survival but still too small to contribute adequately to levelling up.

Trivia

 * Challenger fights happen at duel locations. Even when they have not been unlocked.
 * Defeating two bodyguards not only unlocks the duel in that act but also of the previously completed acts even if they were on the four hour temporary lock. After winning the now unlocked duel, the lock is reinstated for the next four hours.
