How to play Sword Hunter
Join, redeem, hunt, merge, catch, and park. The same loop on every later session.
Sword Hunter is a free Roblox incremental simulator from Blade Evolution Tycoon. It went live on July 31, 2026 as place 124641526243488. You hunt monsters, convert loot to cash, merge swords at your base, hatch or catch pets, and leave blades collecting while you are offline. This page is how to play that loop in a first session, from join to logout. It is the play contract, not a minute-by-minute timer. For a timed first-hour checklist, open the beginner getting-started plan. For the three keys in isolation, open Sword Hunter controls.
Servers hold 12 players and friends can hunt in the same world. Nothing below requires Robux. Codes, one merge, and one pet carry a new hunter if you spend cash on the next blade instead of random shop clutter.
Join a server and read the islands
Join from the Roblox game page and land on the tropical islands. Before you swing, name four things out loud:
- The sword in your hands. It is a LV.1 stick until you merge.
- The path back to base. Merges happen there, not in the grass.
- A nearby pack you can actually damage on the beach or first island.
- Any wolf, fox, slime, or bird showing a catch prompt.
If a friend is already in the server, stand on their pack. Twelve hunters on twelve beaches pays worse than one stacked farm. If you are solo, pick one shoreline and commit. Wandering every island with a stick is not playing; it is sightseeing.
Skip the purple portal and skip the giant red gorilla until this session has a merged blade. Those fights have their own pages: how to beat the gorilla and new areas. Rank 999 is a later climb on how to get Rank 999. Playing well on day one means leaving those goals closed.
Redeem codes before the first hunt
Open the in-game Store, scroll to the bottom text box, paste a code, and press Redeem. Do this before you farm hard and before you merge. Live lists change; this walkthrough does not copy the table. Use the codes hub for what still works, the redeem steps if you cannot find the box, and how to get more codes after the session if the list looks thin.
Typical first-session rewards are cash, luck, a Fox Egg, or a free sword. Paste the official set when it is live: WELCOME, MONEY, LIKES100, NEWPET, LUCKY, LIKE1000, UPDATE, plus 1KCCU, NEWUPDATE, and SWORD. Redeem everything that still works, then close the Store so you are not staring at gamepasses while packs despawn. A Fox Egg belongs in this session if one is sitting in inventory. A cash code belongs in the next merge, not in a pile you never convert.
Play with E, R, and F
Three actions run the whole game:
- E attacks, or catches when a pet prompt is up. Official art labels E Catch on a blue wolf.
- R toggles auto-attack. Leave it on while you walk packs. Turn it off when you want E to mean Catch.
- F selects your sword. After a merge, press F so you are not still swinging the stick.
On mobile those actions sit on on-screen buttons with the same labels. If catch feels broken, toggle R off first. If a new blade feels weak, press F before you assume the merge failed. That is the entire skill floor. You do not need combos. You need to stop fighting your own buttons. The controls guide is the reference; you only need the three keys to finish this session.
Farm a pack you can kill
Walk to the nearest pack the stick can damage. Toggle auto-attack on with R and stay inside the pack instead of chasing stragglers across the beach. Loot drops. You convert loot to cash. Cash is what merges cost. That is how you play the combat half of Sword Hunter.
A good first farm is boring on purpose. You want a pile of cash, not a screenshot next to a gorilla. If a pack takes forever, you are on the wrong island for a stick. Back up to weaker monsters rather than standing in a volcano with a twig. The monster farm guide covers moving packs later. For this session, one dense group on the islands or beach is enough.
Friends on a 12-player server speed the farm only if they stand on the same monsters. Invite them after everyone has redeemed codes, not while you are still looking for the Store box.
Merge at base, then select the blade
When cash looks enough to leave the stick behind, return to base and merge. The visible ladder runs LV.1 stick to steel or gold blades, then a cave gem sword, rainbow crystal LV.999, and later the huge blue Rank 999 sword. Playing the first session well means taking the first rung, not pretending Rank 999 is a shop click.
Merge beats buying a random extra stick. After the merge, press F, then go back out. If you are unsure whether to spend now or farm another pack, the merge swords guide and the sword tier list exist for that call. The merge planner helps if you want a longer ladder view. For this session, one upgrade off the stick is the win.
Catch or hatch one pet, then keep moving
If a code gave you a Fox Egg, hatch it. Orange foxes come from that egg. Rainbow Eggs belong in the same pass if you have one. In the world, look for catch prompts on wolves and other pets. Toggle R off, face the creature, press E, then toggle R back on. Blue wolves are the tutorial-looking catch. Rainbow wolves, slimes, gorillas, and birds show up as you roam. The phoenix is a 0.01% hunt, not a first-session goal.
The pet hatch guide and the pet tier list rank what you should keep. For how to play the first loop, any walking pet is a success. Do not burn the rest of the session standing on one spawn waiting for a rainbow roll. Pets help the farm that funds merges. They do not replace merges.
Park the blade before you quit
Swords collect loot while you are offline. That sentence is why Sword Hunter is an incremental simulator and not only a click fighter. Before you leave, convert loot, merge if the next blade is in reach, press F, and quit holding the upgraded sword. Parking the stick after a merge is the classic waste. The offline loot guide explains what to upgrade first so the pile you return to funds the next merge instead of sitting unused.
You do not need a secret parking tile this wiki invented. You need the merged blade selected. Then close Roblox. Friends cannot collect on your sword after you leave. Online co-op is for the minutes you are in the 12-player world.
What this session is not
- It is not a gorilla hunt. Read how to beat the gorilla after you have a real blade.
- It is not a Rank 999 rush. Read how to get Rank 999 when cash is looping.
- It is not a purple portal tourism trip. The new areas guide and the New Area Adventure notes wait until packs on this side die quickly.
- It is not a phoenix pity timer. 0.01% is a later hunt.
Playing Sword Hunter means repeating hunt, cash, merge, hatch, park. The first session only has to prove you can do each beat once.
The same loop on session two
When you come back, collect the offline pile, redeem any new codes, press F, and farm a slightly denser pack. Merge if the next blade is cheap enough to finish. Hatch eggs sitting in inventory. Catch a wolf if the prompt appears. Park again. That is still how you play. The early-game hunter plan stretches the same contract across the stick-to-steel stretch. Mid-game and endgame plans only change which island you stand on.
If a farm suddenly feels different, check patch notes instead of inventing a hidden mechanic. If you want scripts later, the auto-farm and auto-merge pages exist with risk notes. Learn the manual loop on this page first. Blade Evolution Tycoon already pays you for parking a real blade overnight.
First-session checklist
- Join a 12-player server and note base, stick, and a nearby pack.
- Redeem every live code from the codes list.
- Hit monsters with auto-attack on, Catch off until a pet prompt appears.
- Merge the stick once at base and press F.
- Hatch a Fox Egg or catch a wolf.
- Park the new sword before you quit.
When that session ends you should have a merged blade, a pet walking with you, and loot still collecting after you close Roblox. Play the loop once without improvising: join, redeem, toggle, farm, merge, catch, park. If one beat felt muddy, open that specialist article instead of restarting this page. Tomorrow is the same four beats with a better sword in your hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common Sword Hunter questions.
How do you play Sword Hunter?
Join, redeem live codes, hunt with E and auto-attack on R, merge at base, press F, catch or hatch a pet, then park the blade for offline loot. The beginner plan times that loop for the first hour.
What should I do first after joining?
Redeem codes in the Store bottom box before you farm. Claim rewards from the codes hub, then learn E, R, and F on the controls page.
Do I need Robux to play Sword Hunter?
No. It is a free Roblox game. Codes, monster loot, one merge, and one pet are enough for the first session. Friends can join a 12-player server without paying.
Should I fight the gorilla or take the portal first?
No. Merge off the stick first. The gorilla has its own walkthrough on how to beat the gorilla. The portal waits on new areas.
When do I start chasing Rank 999?
After cash is looping through farms, merges, and offline piles. Use how to get Rank 999 when the stick is already gone.
Is this the same as the getting-started guide?
This page is the play loop. The getting-started guide is the timed first-hour checklist. Read this to learn how sessions work; read that to execute hour one in order.
