How to set up the controller

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.

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

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 & KeyboardCtrl
Xbox ControllerB
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

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.

You Can Cancel Throwing Pal Spheres

Mouse & KeyboardQ → Right Click
Xbox ControllerRB → LT
PS ControllerR1 → 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.

Long Press Is Necessary For Riding On Pals

Mouse & KeyboardF

PS ControllerB

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.
