Words

Pip	The small dots that march down the lane in waves. Solid pips fight up close; hollow pips shoot.
Finish	Landing the hit that destroys a pip. Each finish pays ink, and your PIPS stat counts them.
Post	A defensive pillar. Two per side, outer then inner.
Core	Destroy theirs to win.
Well	Your home circle and your shop. There's no teleport home, so you walk. Heals fast until 5:00, slowly after, and runs dry once both your posts fall.
Hatch	The hatched patches mid-lane. Standing in one hides you.
Ink	What you earn from finishes, kills and posts, and spend on items.

Controls

Action	Phone	Mouse + keys
Move	Thumb on the lower-left half: floating stick. Or tap the ground.	WASD or arrow keys. Clicking the ground also works.
Attack	Big button. Finishes pips, keeps hitting the post you started on.	Click an enemy (the cursor turns blue over one), or F. Standing still attacks pips in range.
Q	Tap to auto-aim. Drag from the button to aim by hand.	Hold Q to aim at the cursor, release to fire. Right-click or Esc cancels.
Dash · E	W button dashes, E button casts.	Space dashes toward the cursor. E casts instantly around you.
Shop	At your well or while dead. Tap to buy, tap again to upgrade. Switch to Sell to free a slot.	1–8 buy or upgrade, X sell mode

Rules that matter

Posts hit pips first, but switch to you if you hit one of their players under the post.
Outer post, then inner post, then core. Each is invulnerable until the one in front falls.
Wells heal fast until 5:00, slowly after, and not at all once both of that team's posts fall.
From 7:00 pips hit posts and cores twice as hard and waves come every 20 s. From 10:00 it's four times as hard, waves come every 15 s, and all healing is halved.
A kill pays 300 ink. Anyone who damaged the victim in the last 10 s gets an assist and 150.
