Your first match, step by step.

K.O.S is a 3v3 tactics game where both players plan in secret, lock their orders, and watch both squads move at the same time. This guide takes you from an empty wallet connection to a completed turn.

01

Connect your wallet

Use connect wallet in the top-right corner. The site will ask you to switch networks if needed. You will sign or confirm actions as you create, join, and lock orders.

Read the wallet prompt before approving. A match can include a wager and deposit, and the UI shows the total before you confirm.
02

Create a match

Open create a match, then follow the setup panel from top to bottom.

  1. 1. Rules

    Pick Rush or Hack, a turn clock, and public matchmaking or a private wallet invite.

  2. 2. Stakes

    Choose the wager per player. The review screen shows your full deposit before approval.

  3. 3. Loadout

    Equip all three soldiers, choose consumables, and place each soldier inside your blue deployment zone.

Quick matches are for players ready now. Regular matches stay open onchain and use longer turn clocks; they can be public or invite-only.

03

Join another player

Open find a match. Choose a quick offer, an open regular match, or a private invitation sent to your connected wallet.

  • Check the mode, wager, and time per turn before opening the match.
  • Choose your three weapons and deploy all three soldiers in the red zone.
  • Approve the displayed deposit if required, then press join match.
04

Plan secret orders

This is the heart of K.O.S. Both players build a complete turn without seeing the other player's plan.

Move each soldier

Select soldier 1, 2, or 3, then click a highlighted reachable tile to draw the path. On desktop, arrow keys add steps and Backspace removes one.

Set facing and fire

Choose where each soldier faces and whether they fire. Facing controls the vision cone, so a safe route can still end looking the wrong way.

Add actions

Use available consumables from the actions panel. Their activation and aim are part of the secret turn plan.

Lock in orders

Review all three paths, facings, fire toggles, and actions. Press lock in orders and confirm the wallet request.

What stays secret? Your exact squad positions and planned orders are encrypted onchain. Your opponent cannot inspect your plan while choosing theirs. Only the information each player is allowed to learn is revealed after resolution.

05

Both plans resolve together

After you lock, the screen waits for your opponent. Once both sides are locked, the resolver advances both squads one step at a time and evaluates movement, vision, and combat on every frame.

A
both lock
B
turn resolves
C
review and repeat

There is no alternating movement advantage: your route can collide with the opponent's route because both plans execute in the same turn.

06

Complete the objective

Rush

Breach the enemy zone

End a turn with a surviving soldier inside the enemy deployment zone, or eliminate the enemy squad.

Hack

Control the terminal

Control the hidden terminal for three turns, or eliminate the enemy squad.

If the turn limit is reached first, the squad with more surviving soldiers wins; equal survivors produce a draw.
