Deathmatch Rules
All Players are Enemies
In Deathmatch, there are no teams, and all participating players are enemies. You can play any role, but you'll be responsible for attacking, healing, and scouting on your own. It requires a balanced approach to combat.
Team Deathmatch Competes by Teams
In Team Deathmatch, like other modes, it becomes a team-based competition. Utilize the unique characteristics of each role and coordinate with your teammates to defeat as many enemies as possible.
Victory by Defeating a Set Number of Enemies
In Deathmatch, victory is achieved by defeating a predetermined number of enemies in each match. Disrupt enemies who are close to reaching the required number and prioritize defeating weakened enemies to increase your kill count.
Gameplay Flow

|---|---|
| 1 | Select a character and start the game |
| 2 | Match ends when the required number of enemies is defeated |
Continuously Defeat Enemies while Surviving
In Deathmatch, there are no objectives like escorting or controlling. The rule is to continuously defeat enemies. There is a higher possibility of being attacked from the sides or behind compared to other modes, so it's important to constantly be aware of all directions and engage in combat.
Strategies for Winning
Balancing Recovery and Firepower is Key
In Deathmatch, since you'll be fighting on your own, it's important to prioritize both offense and recovery. While any role can be viable, characters without healing abilities or those solely focused on healing may not be well-suited.
Moving to Avoid Defeat in Team Deathmatch
In the case of Team Deathmatch, regardless of your role, it's crucial to maneuver in a way that prevents the enemy from getting kills. Trying to forcefully secure kills won't widen the score gap if you end up getting defeated. Instead, focus on taking down opponents one by one while utilizing recovery and barriers to stay alive.
