About Stickman Warriors
Stickman Warriors puts you at the bottom of a rank ladder and asks you to climb it. Each fight is a short brawl against a stronger opponent, and each win feeds attribute points back into your fighter. The combat is simple on purpose. What decides a fight is whether you spent your last twenty points on health or on damage.
The daily rewards make it a game people return to rather than finish. If you only play once, treat the early ranks as the whole thing. They are quick, and they show you what the combat has to offer before the numbers start deciding the outcome.
How to play
- Fight the opponent at your current rank.
- Spend the points a win pays into health, attack or speed.
- Repeat until the next rank opens.

Tips
- Put the first points into health. A dead fighter deals no damage, however high the attack number is.
- Blocking costs nothing. Against a faster opponent it is the only way to reach the counter.
