Corners (1v1): the duel for the crown
Straight talk
- A corner is energy, and energy is XP and money. Whoever holds a corner gets the band's “movement” (table below): energy comes back faster, max energy goes up and crimes give more XP. Energy comes back 1 point every 3 min (480 a day).
How it works
- There are 10 corners, each held by a single player, no gang and no treasury. To hold one: level 5+, an account at least 24 h old, and never while you're a living fighter in a turf war. One corner per player.
- Blocks: you can't challenge an immune corner (24 h) or a boss who is in a war. The war lock starts 10 min before it. A corner opens on its own when you pass the level band.
- Costs: empty corner, 10 energy + half the band's price; challenging the boss, 20 energy + the full price, at most 3 challenges per hour. Nobody gets the money back. Challenge and lose: that corner stays closed to you for 24 h. The empty corner is the cheapest way in: half the energy and half the price of a challenge.
- The duel: best of 3 (first to 2 games takes it), one action every 3 s, with your war kit. The same hit, damage, crit and counter math as war applies; the pistol draws in 2 s, not 3. Between games, there's an 8 s pause and both come back with full HP and kit.
- After: a challenger who wins keeps the corner, immune for 24 h. If the boss wins, the corner can be called out again after only 60 s: defending buys a breather, not immunity. Exception inside the gang: no 24 h of immunity. Taking the corner of someone in your gang (or of someone who left it, or whose gang you left, less than 24 h ago) protects the corner for only 60 s: after that it can be called out again. It applies whether you win the duel or take the empty corner the person just dropped.
- Don't leave the duel screen. There's no clock, so nothing ends on time: the house plays for whoever leaves the screen (6 s without acting and without the screen open, or in jail, or in the hospital) and for whoever keeps the screen open but goes 30 s without playing, one hit every 6 s with the best melee weapon in the kit. The house never uses a tool for someone who is absent, nor a skill for someone who is off the duel screen.

Tools in the duel
Each tool works once per game (it comes back full in the next game), and using one spends an action, like a hit.
- Flashbang: the other side can't act for 9 s (no hit, no tool, no skill): they lose about 3 actions (9 s ÷ 3 s); the Flashbang costs you 1 action.
- Ballistic Shield: the next 2 hits that land on you only deal half. The counter from your own miss is not cut: the shield doesn't replace hitting. A shotgun that lands breaks the whole shield.
- Field Med Kit: heals 30 HP. Serrated Machete: whoever takes the hit goes 20 s without healing.
