⚔️ Complete Game Guide

Everything you need to know to dominate the Arena, grow your character, and maximize your Satoshi earnings. Bookmark this page — you'll be coming back to it.

1. Getting Started

Satoshi Fighters requires only an email address to get started — no credit card, no cryptocurrency wallet, no download. Here's the new player path:

  1. Create your account at the Signup page. You'll receive a confirmation email — click the link to activate your account.
  2. Choose your class. This is a permanent decision (though you can unlock additional classes later). Read the class section below carefully before choosing. Your first class is free.
  3. Enter the Arena. Once your class is set, head to The Arena and start challenging other players. Each PvP fight costs 1 token. Winning earns you Satoshi taken directly from your opponent's wallet.
  4. Upgrade your character. Spend Satoshi on the My Character page to increase your attack and defense stats. Higher stats mean better win rates.
  5. Protect your earnings. Deposit Satoshi into The Bank. Banked Satoshi cannot be stolen in PvP — only your wallet balance is at risk.

2. Character Classes

Choosing the right class is the single most impactful decision you'll make. Each class applies a permanent passive bonus to your character's combat and economy stats. Below is a detailed breakdown of all six classes:

Warrior

⚔️ Warrior

+25% Attack60s Defense Timer

The Warrior is the quintessential offensive fighter. The 25% attack bonus significantly increases your probability of winning PvP battles, especially against opponents whose defense is close to your attack stat. Warriors are ideal for players who log in often and want a straightforward, powerful combat class.

Best for: Active players who want a reliable, well-rounded offensive class without major drawbacks. The Warrior is the safest pick for beginners who plan to invest in attack upgrades.

Paladin

🛡️ Paladin

+25% Defense300s Defense Timer

The Paladin is a defensive powerhouse. The 25% defense bonus makes your character significantly harder to defeat in combat, and the 300-second (5-minute) defense timer means you have more time to respond to attacks before your safety window resets. Paladins lose fewer Satoshi to attackers over time.

Best for: Players who want steady, passive Satoshi accumulation with minimal losses. Paladins sacrifice raw offensive power but excel at holding onto their earnings.

Merchant

💰 Merchant

+25% Satoshi60s Defense Timer

The Merchant doesn't hit the hardest or take the least damage — but earns the most per victory. The 25% Satoshi bonus applies to every battle won, compounding over many fights into substantially higher earnings than other classes with the same win rate.

Best for: Players who enjoy frequent PvP and want to maximize profit per battle. Pair the Merchant class with high attack upgrades for the best return on investment.

Guardian

🏰 Guardian

+75% Defense-50% Attack1200s Defense Timer

The Guardian is the ultimate defensive tank. A 75% defense bonus makes Guardians nearly impossible to defeat for most attackers, and the 20-minute defense timer gives them the longest safety window in the game. The steep 50% attack penalty means Guardians rarely win offensive battles, but they rarely lose defensive ones either.

Best for: Players who prefer passive income — using the bank and the training arena — rather than aggressive PvP. If you value protecting your Satoshi above all else, Guardian is your class.

Berserker

💥 Berserker

+50% Attack-50% Defense60s Defense Timer

The Berserker is the highest-risk, highest-reward class in the game. A 50% attack bonus means Berserkers smash through most opponents' defenses — but the 50% defense penalty means they take heavy damage when attacked in return.

Best for: Experienced players who log in multiple times per day and always bank after winning. The Berserker rewards active, disciplined play and punishes inattention.

Thief

🗡️ Thief

+25% Attack+25% Satoshi-50% Defense60s Defense Timer

The Thief combines the offensive benefits of the Warrior with the economic benefits of the Merchant — at the cost of severe defensive vulnerability. A Thief who wins consistently earns far more Satoshi than almost any other class per fight.

Best for: Players who understand the importance of the bank and always deposit winnings immediately. In skilled hands, the Thief is arguably the most efficient Satoshi-earning class.

3. Combat System

Every PvP battle in Satoshi Fighters follows the same mechanics. Understanding them is essential to choosing smart opponents and maximizing your win rate.

How Win Probability Is Calculated

Each fight's outcome is determined by comparing your effective attack (base attack × class multiplier) against your opponent's effective defense (base defense × class multiplier). The greater your attack advantage over their defense, the higher your probability of winning.

  • Attack > Defense: You are the favorite. Your win probability scales with the size of the gap — a 2× attack-to-defense ratio gives you a significant advantage.
  • Attack = Defense: The fight is approximately 50/50.
  • Attack < Defense: Your opponent is the favorite. Still possible to win, but the odds are against you.

The Defense Timer

After being attacked, you enter a safety window for the duration of your class's defense timer. During this window, your defense stat is temporarily boosted. Once the timer expires, your defense returns to normal.

Battle Costs

Each PvP fight costs 1 token. Tokens regenerate over time. You can also earn extra tokens by watching short in-game advertisements on the My Character page. Plan your fights carefully — don't spend tokens on opponents you're unlikely to beat.

Recent Battles & Revenge

The Recent Battles page shows all battles involving your account from the last 24 hours. Any player you attacked can see this list and retaliate. Conversely, you can use this page to take revenge on anyone who attacked you. Be strategic — attacking a strong player may invite a costly counterattack.

4. The Economy

Satoshi is the lifeblood of Satoshi Fighters. It is earned by winning battles and spent on character upgrades. Here is how the economy works:

  • Winning a battle transfers a portion of your opponent's wallet Satoshi to your wallet. The exact amount depends on your opponent's balance and your class Satoshi bonus.
  • Losing a battle costs nothing from your own wallet — but if the person you attacked wins a revenge fight, they take from your wallet.
  • Upgrading attack or defense costs Satoshi from your wallet. Upgrades are permanent and carry over if you switch classes.
  • Unlocking a new class costs Satoshi. Once unlocked, you can switch between your unlocked classes freely.
  • Withdrawals are available once you reach the minimum threshold (10,000 Satoshi). You provide a Bitcoin Lightning invoice and receive your Satoshi within minutes.

5. The Bank

The Bank is your most important defensive tool. Satoshi stored in the bank cannot be stolen by other players in PvP combat. Only your wallet balance (unbanked Satoshi) is at risk.

Bank limit: There is a maximum amount you can store in the bank at any time. Upgrade your bank capacity on the My Character page to protect more Satoshi.

Best practice: After every battle session, deposit your winnings into the bank immediately. The biggest mistake new players make is leaving large Satoshi balances in their wallet overnight. If a Berserker or Thief finds you with 5,000 unbanked Satoshi, you will lose a significant portion in a single fight.

Withdrawals come from the bank. You do not need to withdraw from your wallet — simply keep accumulating in the bank until you reach the withdrawal threshold.

6. Stamina & Tokens

Satoshi Fighters uses two resource systems to manage gameplay pace:

Tokens

Tokens are used for PvP fights in the main Arena. Each fight costs 1 token. Tokens regenerate automatically over time (1 token every 30 minutes up to the cap). You can also restore tokens instantly by watching a short ad on the My Character page.

Stamina

Stamina is used for Training fights — practice battles against AI opponents that also earn small amounts of Satoshi. Each training fight costs 1 stamina. Stamina regenerates automatically (1 stamina every 15 minutes). Watching an ad also restores stamina instantly.

Pro tip: Use the training arena to earn Satoshi when you're out of PvP tokens. Training fights are lower reward but zero risk — you can't lose Satoshi in training, only gain it.

7. Tips for New Players

  • Choose your class carefully. Your first class is free, but switching costs Satoshi. Read all six class descriptions before committing.
  • Always bank after fighting. Never leave more Satoshi in your wallet than you can afford to lose. The bank is free to use — there's no reason not to deposit after every session.
  • Check the win probability before attacking. The Arena shows you the estimated win chance against each opponent. Don't burn tokens on fights you're likely to lose.
  • Invest in upgrades early. Attack and defense upgrades have a compounding effect. The earlier you upgrade, the more fights you win, the more Satoshi you earn, the faster you can upgrade again.
  • Watch the Recent Battles page. Know who is targeting you. If a strong player keeps attacking you, consider maxing your bank deposits to minimize losses.
  • Use training when tokens are depleted. Stamina regenerates separately from tokens. Training fights offer a way to keep earning when you're out of PvP tokens.
  • Unlock a second class when you can afford it. Switching classes situationally is an advanced strategy that requires careful Satoshi management.
