Build 22: what to try first
| Area | Change | Try this |
|---|---|---|
| Guest access | Epic account and invite no longer required. | Enter a name in the hub. Level, outfits and stats reset on the new build. |
| Hub & camera | Hub host migration, shoulder swap and shorter First Steps. | Press Left Ctrl to change shoulders. Look for Switch Element in Esc. |
| Fire | Shift follows aim across vertical and horizontal movement. | Look up while pressing forward + Shift from the ground. |
| Water | Ice Wall can be launched forward as a wave. | Aim at your Ice Wall and press RMB. |
| Earth | Forward Shift gets a front plate and a stronger ram at speed. | Hold the ride through a clear lane before contact. |
| Air | Wind Guard keeps caught shots in orbit until release. | Hold the guard, aim at the opponent and press LMB. |
Matchmaking and connection workarounds
The developer lists 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 matchmaking returning some players to the hub after connecting. Try Esc → Play → Custom. If one host’s room will not connect, have the other player host. A failed match connection can also trigger a new search automatically.
Remote players may see a fast dash jump around. The developer says this visual issue does not affect your own movement. Guest play does not expose the Epic friends list or Epic friend invites.
Build 21: ice and custom-room basics
The November 10 build introduced team-by-team bots in custom rooms and updated Water’s ice patches and side finishers. The notes say three spikes from a side finisher can root for 1 s. Water’s F can be pressed again to freeze the road and root targets already touched by the wave.
Earth’s double-jump rock gained a 1 s interval between pops. One charge returns every 3 s on solid ground.
What the developer has announced next
The developer is working on a broader Air rework, a future Fire kit with lightning on RMB, and dedicated hub servers. For current practice, use the Build 22 inputs; those upcoming features are different from the changes above.
