Rinha de Waifus

Rinha de Waifus is a formation-battling game where you build a team of waifus and position them before each fight. Once a battle begins, you do not control the fighters; the outcome depends on your setup and how each waifu plays.

Game modes

• Campaign: Take on handcrafted fights that grow harder as you progress. Clear the section guarding a locked waifu to add her to your roster for every other mode.
• Ladder: Play best-of-five series for points and climb the Steam leaderboard. Opponents get tougher as you rise.
• Arena: Try to complete a 10-match roguelite run. Draft a starting five and grow your roster after each match as you pursue a leaderboard place. You get one retry per match; gamble a small win for a higher score, but a loss wipes it out.
• Versus: Face a friend online in 1v1. You both place your teams in secret, then watch the same battle play out. Choose casual play or a competitive best-of-five, where the winner must defend a revealed formation.
• Sandbox: Build any formation and test any matchup without rules or limits, then export it as a code. Two players can also build opposing sides on one screen.
• Challenges: Fight a generated enemy formation or paste a friend's code and try to beat it more efficiently than they did.

Waifu abilities

Waifus have their own stats, signature skills and playstyles, so the same team in the same positions can win or lose depending on how its members fight. Skills include area bursts, stuns, dashes, piercing shots, spreading poison and a black hole. You can set a waifu to hold the line, kite at range or dive for the back row.
