Guide Buttons Are Xbox Compliant
Regardless of the type of controller being used, the button guide notation in the game adheres to Xbox standards. If you are using PS4/PS5 or Switch controllers on PC, it's particularly easy to confuse the X button with the × button, so be sure to double-check.

How To Use Controller/Xbox
Change Key Configurations From Options
First, open the Options tab from the Esc key or the menu button.
Next, by selecting options from the left menu, you can adjust settings such as the key configuration, button settings, and game settings.
Assigning Functions To The Mouse's Side Buttons Is Also Possible
The assignable keys include side buttons and a numeric keypad. For example, if it's difficult to press the Ctrl key quickly for rolling, it's recommended to either swap it with a more easily accessible key or assign it to a side button.
Sensitivity Can Be Adjusted In Game Settings
When the viewpoint movement is too slow or too fast, adjust the sensitivity of the mouse or stick. In the game settings menu, you can also configure settings such as toggling dash and inverting mouse/stick controls.

Quick Evasion With Rolling
| Mouse & Keyboard | Ctrl |
|---|---|
| Xbox Controller | B |
| PS Controller | ◯ |
Rolling is a highly effective maneuver for evading attacks in combat. It allows you to swiftly move in the direction you're heading and, enables you to somersault backwards to dodge any incoming attacks when timed correctly during an enemy's attack.
You Can Keep Dashing Until Stamina Runs Out
| Mouse & Keyboard | Shift |
|---|---|
| Controller | Push L stick |
While dashing, your movement speed increases, but it consumes the stamina gauge. The duration depends on the World Settings configuration, but in some cases, you can't always dash, so riding on a Pal mount is important when traveling long distances.
Best Mount & Ride Pal List - Fastest PalsYou Can Cancel Throwing Pal Spheres
| Mouse & Keyboard | Q → Right Click |
|---|---|
| Xbox Controller | RB → LT |
| PS Controller | R1 → L2 |
To mistakenly set up a Pal Sphere at a base or similar location is a mistake that everyone is bound to make at least once. Pal Spheres will be wasted if you throw it as it is, so carefully press the cancel button.

|---|---|
| Xbox Controller | X |
| PS Controller | B |
Pals with Partner Skills enables them to be mounted or used as weapons typically requires long press to activate. Simply pressing it once won't bring them closer, so be conscious of holding it down.
