Controls
The same game on a keyboard and on a phone. These are the defaults; technique keys can be rebound from the Skill Roster.
Keyboard and mouse
| Key | Does |
|---|---|
| W, S | Move forward and back |
| A, D | Turn. While you hold the right mouse button they strafe instead. |
| Right mouse button | Hold to steer with the mouse |
| Space | Jump |
| Q | Flash Step: aim, then confirm |
| X | Hold to Guard |
| Z | Hold to charge Nimis |
| Tab | Target the next enemy |
| F | Interact with what is in front of you |
| Number keys | The techniques on your skill bar |
| Escape | Close the open panel, then clear your target, then open the menu |
A technique can also be given its own key, alone or with Ctrl or Alt, from the Skill Roster.
Phone
- A joystick moves you, and dragging on the screen turns the camera.
- Guard, Flash Step, charging and your techniques are buttons. A press turns something on and another press turns it off; nothing has to be held.
- You can press a technique and drag to aim it before letting go. This is a setting.
- The buttons can be moved, resized and mirrored for left-handed play, under Settings.
Controllers
There is no native controller support. On PC, Steam Input can map a controller onto the keyboard and mouse.
