Shadow Fight 2 Walkthrough [Guide]

Ninjas are known for dwelling in the shadows as they prepare to strike. In Shadow Fight 2, however, the ninja is an actual shadow. Although you can no longer be killed, you can get knocked down and out, and players must be able to improve their fighting skills in order to be able to progress. Here’s our guide on how to defeat the competition and to become the mightiest fighter of them all.

Gameplay
Shadow Fight 2 is a one on one fighting game where in players must do battle against a slew of different opponents across different game modes. There are various weapons and equipment that can be acquired, but all of these would be for naught if you do not have the fighting skills to back it up. With that, players can perform movement and attack combinations using virtual controls in order to perform offensive and defensive maneuvers. Fights are two out of three in most cases, and players who are able to deplete the opponent’s health to zero will be declared as the winner.

Currency
Coins and gems are the two main currencies within the game. Both of these are used to purchase and upgrade items that your character can wear and equip. Gems also have the added benefit of being able to refill your energy without you needing to wait. An item can be bought or upgraded using significantly less gems than coins, although of course acquiring the latter would be more difficult.

Coins are earned whenever players go on fights, with the quantity rewarded depending on how well you have performed. Gems, on the other hand, are rarely rewarded, and the best way to get this resource is via in-app purchases. Coins may also be acquired in exchange for real cash, as well. From time to time, free gems may also be awarded by taking up offers like watching videos and other deals.

Energy
Energy is a resource that is required to fight. In most cases, energy is deducted each time players participate in battles. Energy regenerates over time, but players can instantly refill it by paying gems. Make sure that you have ample energy should you want to play the game for prolonged periods of time.

Leveling Up
By engaging in combat, players will be able to level up. Leveling up will gain players access to different items at the store, as well as allow them to choose perks that will make their fighters stronger. The more battles you fight in, the faster you will be able to level up and the more weapons and armor you would be able to choose from. Your level will also define the ceiling as to how much certain items can be leveled up.

Equipment
Eventually, players will be able to gain access to different items such as weapons as well as head and body armor. More will be accessible as players level up and advance through the game. There will also eventually be ranged weapons as well as magic that they would be able to purchase and access. These items will cost either gold or coins, and may also be upgraded using the same currencies.

Take note that moves will depend on the weapon currently equipped. Players can practice their moves at the dojo so that they can get better acclimated with their gear. Take note also that weapons can be dropped at times during battle especially if they are hit particularly heavily. Make sure that you are always equipped with the best items in order to increase your chances of success.

Game Modes
Each act within the game offers several game modes that the players can engage in, provided that they have enough energy to do so. The main quest will have players fighting against several sub bosses before being able to combat the boss of the area. There are also Tournament battles where in players must defeat several different fighters in order to win. In addition, there’s a Survival Mode where players can fight several opponents with a single bar of health. Lastly, Duels will allow players to use different weapons as they do combat, although this last mode will require an Internet connection.

All of these modes will give players the chance to earn coins as well as experience. Players will also often be given an idea as to their chances of winning upon selecting a fight that they are planning to enter. This chance is given based on the player’s current equipment. Whenever this happens, try to fight in other game modes so that you will be able to increase your experience and earn enough coins to upgrade your equipment. You can also try and hone your fighting skills in this way.

Achievements
As you play along, you will also be able to complete achievements, which are objectives that encompass either a single fight or multiple ones. Examples of these include getting defeated a certain number of times, beating an enemy with critical health, getting first strike in a specific number of battles, and many more. Some of these achievements may be completed naturally through regular gameplay, while some would really require players to go out of their way and play as specific style in order to complete the said objectives.

Completing achievements will allow players to earn free gems, and as players are able to progress through all available achievements at once, it is recommended that they check up on how they are doing in this section as well as to claim any rewards that may be waiting for them.
