Timebomb Duels Events & Kill Effects
Kill Effects in Alpha
Kill effects provide visual feedback when eliminations occur. June 2026 updates expanded kill effect options. Seasonal windows — Valentine 2026 and Independence 2026 — drop limited cosmetics during peak player weekends.
Independence 2026 (July 4–6)
The Independence 2026 event offered exclusive limited-time kill effects: Eagle, Liberty, and Firework. The window closed after July 6. Full recap lives on the Independence 2026 subpage for players catching up after the event.
Valentine 2026
Valentine 2026 dropped limited kill effects: Cupid's Arrow, Chocolate, and Heart Balloon during a mid-February seasonal window (community trackers cite roughly February 14–21, 2026). The event has ended — see the dedicated Valentine 2026 page for the full recap. June content updates then refreshed base kill-effect options and coincided with Double-Decker transparency changes.
Competitive Impact
Kill effects are cosmetic — no gameplay advantage. Custom Trails game pass similarly cosmetic. Skill remains movement-based. Beta shop will deepen cosmetics (bomb flames, pets, chat tags) without replacing tech.
