Combat inputs

Press E to toggle your weapon, then use Left Click for light weapon attacks and R for a special weapon attack. Press F to block.

For defensive responses, use F with Left Click to parry or dispel. The default-control listing identifies blocking as a perfect-block input and parry/dispel as a perfect neutral action, so timing is part of using these defenses.

Movement options are available during combat:

  • Press Q to dash.
  • Hold a charging attack and press Q to pivot.
  • Press G for an evasive action.
  • Press Left Control to slide.
  • Use WW or the sprint toggle to sprint.

Use Middle Mouse to focus a target when you need to keep an opponent selected.

Magic and character abilities

Your personal magic is assigned to Z, X, and C. Press H to use your clan ability.

Outside direct attacks, N activates Mana Sense and L calls your broom. These bindings let you keep combat abilities, exploration tools, and menu shortcuts accessible without opening the character menu.

Press M to open the character menu, Tab to open inventory, and Left Alt to open the Quest Log.
