Introduction
Homu World Championship finally marks the return of the awaited "Fall Valks" We have alot to look forward to with the stages, Emojis and new characters to play as! Of course we still have the shop with all new event rewards as well.
The Main Screen
The following section of the guide will walk you through what to expect from the event menu.
After hitting the start button, you will be taken to a lobby for matchmaking.
You can invite up to 3 others or start matchmaking alone. Participating for the first time will give extra coupons daily~
You have a room Chat available to you and your friends where you can talk as you wait.
This shows you what stages are open and the schedule for said stages, after finding a match the stage will be chosen at random.
In Game Tutorial + Emoji Tutorial
This takes you to the "Homu World Practice" stage, where you go through a quick tutorial that will teach you the basics, I do recommend playing this stage as I have learned how to properly use an item here where I did not completely understand what it did before, It also gives you a chance to see some of the "Traps" present in the stage as well as familiarize yourself with the powerups and what each of them do / how long they last. It does not tell you about the new "Dive" ability though so that will be covered in the upcoming "Skills" section.
Another thing it misses is how to use Emoji's so lets cover that right now
When you enter your first actual match you will have this button.
After pressing it, a menu will open up with four emoji's you can quickly press the corresponding number to use the emoji without a delay. This design allows you to use emojis while still playing the game which is a nice feature, I just hope to see more customizable emojis in the future!
The Maps
This takes you to see all 16 available maps as well as your records for them.
Skills
This section will go over the many skills we have for this event so you can familiarize yourself with them before you play!
Flotation:
Uses - 2
Cooldown - 8 Seconds
Effect - The Flotation ability slows your falling speed down which gives you more air-time, proper usage of this skill is required otherwise you may extend your air time resulting in a slower run due to the animation lock.
High Jump:
Uses - 2
Cooldown - 6 Seconds
Effect - It allows you to jump about three times higher than you could normally without the use of this Skill.
You should use this Skill to bypass obstacles by well... jumping over them. High Jump has a 5 second duration.
Speed Boost:
Uses - 2
Cooldown - 6 Seconds
Effect - This does what it sounds like it would do, it makes you several times faster, just make sure to control the speed boost so you don't go flying off the map. This has a 5 second duration.
Bomb:
Uses - Varies
Cooldown - 6 Seconds
Effect - Activate a bomb that has a 5 second delay, after the countdown it will explode knocking back nearby players.
The bomb is unique in the sense that you need to pick up bombs on certain stages.
Shield:
Uses - 2
Cooldown - 6 Seconds
Effect - Protects you from the knockback effect of the "Bomb" This shield will last for 3 seconds.
Dive:
Uses - Unlimited
Cooldown - None

After you reach the bottom if you still need points you will be teleported back to the top, ready to jump in and Dive again!
