Shuriken Duel

Shuriken Duel is a lightweight World of Warcraft mini-game addon where you throw shurikens at a moving target, chase high scores, collect bonuses, and challenge other players in competitive duels.

What Is Shuriken Duel?

Shuriken Duel adds a small arcade-style precision game directly inside World of Warcraft.

You throw shurikens at a moving target, try to land accurate hits, survive with limited lives, and push your score as far as possible. The game is easy to understand, but the target movement, bonuses, maluses, and increasing difficulty make high scores harder to master.

It is designed as a fun side activity between pulls, while waiting for a group, or as a small competitive game with friends and guildmates.

Solo Mode

Solo mode is an endless score challenge.

You start with 3 lives and keep throwing shurikens until you run out. The goal is to survive as long as possible and reach the highest score you can.

The difficulty increases slowly over time, so longer runs become more intense without feeling unfair too early.

Duel Mode

Duel mode lets you challenge another player who also has Shuriken Duel installed.

Both players play under the same core rules:

• 3 starting lives.
• Endless run until game over.
• Highest score wins.
• Same moving target logic.
• Maluses can be earned and sent to the opponent.

Before the duel starts, both players can choose a wager.

Available wager options include:

• Friendly Duel
• 100 gold
• 250 gold
• 1000 gold
• Custom amount

Both players must select the same wager and press Ready before the duel begins.
