Getting Started
Start with controls and combat, then explore defense, progression, and the world.
Controls
Keyboard and mouse basics: WASD to move, left click to attack, Shift to sprint, Space for terrain movement, C to crouch.
Combat Basics
The opening training: Standard Combo, Sha-Chi Combo, Guard Stance and blocking, dodging, Power Surge, and the answers to Blue-flash and Red-flash attacks.
Defense, Parry, and Dodge
Guard, perfect parry, and dodge each have a purpose. Read the Blue-flash, Red-flash, and Black-flash cues, then time your response to the enemy’s movement.
Ability Training
Passive and move-changing nodes bought on the Ability Training screen with Remnant Dust: Flowing Chi, Fluid Form, Redirect Force, Masterful Flow, Opening Strike, Flow Like Water.
Upgrades and Materials
Weapons and Phantom Edges each need their own metal line to reach Lv. 10, with Solvent as the shared part; reforge talismans undo an upgrade and return what was spent.
Bells
Region checkpoints: touching one restores HP and Medicine and the first touch reveals the map, while Traversal Talismans jump between rung bells.
