The Hunt Roblox 2023 Blade Ball - The Hunt Roblox 20 Wiki
Three Tix, one Knight and no win requirement: the round loop that finishes the 2023 stage without chasing eliminations.
Overview
Blade Ball is the 2023 stop on the anniversary timeline, and its objective ignores the normal duel win condition entirely. Instead you hunt three event Tix dropped by the special Knight that appears during Serpent Breakout rounds, then return to the hub to claim The Last Deflection. Surviving long enough to see the target matters far more than winning anything.
Knight Tix In A Live Round
This run shows the Knight encounter and the Tix pickup inside an active match, which is the quickest way to recognise the event target before you waste attempts on ordinary opponents. The clip also confirms the claim route once the counter reaches three and the year opens in the 2023 hub area.
What The Stage Tracks
The stage tracks one counter rather than a win total, and that single detail changes how you should approach the mode. Ordinary victories, high elimination counts and long survival streaks do not move the anniversary bar at all; only the event Tix collected from the special Knight do, so read the requirement list before queueing.
Each round offers roughly one chance at the event target, so plan for at least three rounds and treat a loss as harmless. If the counter looks stuck, re-enter Blade Ball through the event route instead of a normal server list, then verify the year on the badge overview.
| Requirement | Detail | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Knight Tix | Collect three event tickets from the special Knight | One per round, so patience is required |
| Survive the round | Stay alive until the event target appears | High, eliminations come quickly |
| Normal wins | Not tracked by the anniversary objective | None, a win changes nothing |
| Hub claim | Collect The Last Deflection from the 2023 podium | Missing it loses the accessory |
| Repeat rounds | Queue again after each Tix registers | Low, but it costs real time |
The Round Loop
Treat the stage as a survival routine with a collection step bolted on, and the three rounds pass quickly. The Knight appears once per round after the match has been running for a short time, so the opening minute is about staying alive rather than searching. Play the same loop every round until the counter reads three.
Position near the edge of the arena while you scan for the event target, because that keeps the homing ball visible and leaves room to deflect. When the Knight appears, defeat it, pick up the dropped Tix immediately, then return to normal duelling until the round resolves or you are eliminated.
There is no fixed set of Tix coordinates to memorise, which is why route memorisation fails here. The collectible is small and easy to miss in a busy round, so watch for the pickup prompt and move deliberately rather than sprinting through traffic. If the counter stalls, check the badge list.
Queue through the event portal
Enter Blade Ball from The Hunt route so the anniversary stage is active for your account.
Survive the opening
Stay away from crowded duels and keep the homing ball in view until the Knight appears.
Defeat the Knight
The event target has no normal player username, so confirm it is the special NPC before committing.
Pick up the Tix
Collect the dropped ticket straight away, since it can disappear among the deflections.
Repeat until three
Finish or leave the round normally, then queue again and repeat the same pattern.
Staying Alive Longer
Blade Ball eliminates distracted players first, and the anniversary objective forces you to play distracted. That tension is the entire difficulty of the stage, so build the habits below before you start counting rounds, then finish the year with the game overview open beside you.
None of these tips require Robux or a rare ability, and none of them depend on your duel rank. They are positioning and timing habits that keep you alive in the round long enough for the Knight to spawn, which is the only thing the anniversary counter actually rewards. Use them on every attempt.
Use Invisibility If You Have It
An invisibility ability quiets the search phase considerably, though basic blocking works too.
Keep Blocking
A well timed block buys the seconds you need to reach the event target alive.
Scan The Edges
Standing near the arena rim keeps both the ball and the Knight in view at once.
Expect Three Rounds
One Tix opportunity per round is normal, so queue again instead of forcing extra targets.
Common Mistakes
Almost every stalled attempt comes from treating Blade Ball like a normal competitive mode instead of a survival errand. The Knights, the Tix and the hub claim form one chain, and breaking any link leaves the year unfinished, exactly as described in the claim guide.
- Chasing wins — Victories are irrelevant here, and hunting eliminations only shortens the round before the Knight appears.
- Searching too early — The target appears after the match has been running for a short time, so patience beats sprinting.
- Ignoring the dropped Tix — The collectible is small, and leaving it behind wastes the entire round's opportunity.
- Waiting inside the game — The accessory is awarded by the hub podium, never by Blade Ball itself.
Claiming The Last Deflection
The Last Deflection is a Roblox-created back accessory and it is off sale, so the anniversary stage is the only route to it. When the third Tix registers, leave Blade Ball and visit the 2023 area of the event hub, then interact with that year's podium. The claim guide walks through the handover.
If the podium refuses to open after a completed counter, rejoin The Hunt on the same account and let the hub read the state again before replaying anything. Confirm the year on the main badge list, because an unregistered Tix is far more common than a genuinely broken stage.
From 2023 the timeline continues to the 2024 round routine and then the long Grow a Garden delivery year. Anyone who skipped a step can revisit the 2022 job lines from the year list and work forward again, since the hub reads each year on its own.
After 2025: Year Infinity
The three Tix are one of the twenty main completions that count toward Year Infinity, the follow-up phase that unlocks once every historical year is done. That makes this stage double progress: one badge toward the collection and one step closer to the second game list. The Year Infinity guide explains the handover in full.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get the three Tix in the Blade Ball quest?
Defeat the special Knight NPC that appears during Serpent Breakout rounds and pick up the Tix it drops. Repeat across rounds until the counter reaches three.
Do normal Blade Ball wins count for The Hunt Roblox 20?
No. Wins, eliminations and survival streaks are all ignored by the anniversary objective, which tracks only the event Tix collected from the Knight.
Can you collect all three Tix in one round?
Realistically no. Current guidance reports roughly one Tix opportunity per round, so expect at least three rounds before the stage completes.
When does the Knight appear in Blade Ball?
After the round has already been running for a short time. That is why surviving the opening exchanges matters more than searching the arena immediately.
Do you need a paid ability for this quest?
No. An invisibility or defensive ability makes the search calmer if you already own one, but blocking and sensible positioning are enough on their own.
Where do you claim The Last Deflection?
From the 2023 area of the event hub, after the in-game badge registers. Blade Ball itself never awards the accessory, so the podium claim is required.
Why is my Blade Ball Tix counter stuck?
Re-enter Blade Ball through the event portal and play another round before replaying anything else. An unregistered Tix is the most common cause of a stuck counter.
Is there a code for The Last Deflection?
No. The anniversary event has no promo codes, and the item is off sale in the catalogue, so only the quest route is legitimate.
