Choosing Your First Character

Aurora (Recommended for Beginners)

Aurora is the default character and the best choice for new players:

• Balanced moveset — Teaches all fundamental mechanics
• Easy combos — Simple ability chains to learn
• Reliable Ultimate — Powerful transformation without complex setup
• Forgiving — Mistakes aren’t as punishing as other characters

The Director (Advanced)

The Director is a complex character with unique mechanics:

• Money system — Some abilities cost in-game money
• Summon abilities — Call bodyguards to assist in combat
• Dual moveset — Press R to switch between two different movesets
• High skill ceiling — Rewards dedicated practice

Recommendation: Start with Aurora until you’re comfortable with the basics, then try The Director for a fresh challenge.

Understanding M1 Combos

M1 combos are your basic attack chain. Here’s how they work:

1. Click M1 to start the combo
2. Continue clicking to chain hits (usually 4 hits total)
3. The final hit often has special properties (knockback, stun, etc.)
4. Don’t spam — timing matters more than speed

Combo Tips

• Wait for the hit — Don’t click again until the current attack connects
• Mix in abilities — Cancel your combo into abilities for extra damage
• Practice in training — Get the timing down before fighting real players

Using Abilities Effectively

Each character has 4 main abilities plus an Ultimate. Here’s how to use them:

When to Use Abilities

• After M1 hits — Chain abilities after confirming a combo
• Punish mistakes — Use abilities when your opponent whiffs an attack
• Finish combos — End your combo chain with an ability for maximum damage
• Defensively — Some abilities can escape pressure or counter attacks

When NOT to Use Abilities

• From full range — Don’t throw abilities randomly from far away
• When blocked — Abilities can be blocked and punished
• Panic situations — Don’t mash abilities when you’re losing

Ultimate Mode Explained

Ultimate Mode is your character’s transformation that significantly powers up all abilities.

How to Build Ultimate

• Land M1 combo hits
• Successfully use abilities
• Take damage from opponents
• Time naturally increases the meter

When to Activate Ultimate

• When your opponent has used cooldowns — They can’t escape easily
• Near corners — Limits their escape options
• When you’re confident — Don’t waste it on a bad engagement
• In team fights — The enhanced abilities can turn the tide

Ultimate Mode Tips

• Don’t panic activate — Save it for the right moment
• Chase wisely — Enhanced mobility helps catch fleeing opponents
• Use enhanced abilities — Your abilities are stronger during Ultimate

Movement and Positioning

Good movement separates beginners from experienced players:

Basic Movement Tips

• Stay mobile — Never stand still during combat
• Control space — Push opponents toward corners
• Dodge attacks — Use dashes to avoid enemy abilities
• Maintain distance — Stay at your optimal range

Advanced Positioning

• Corner pressure — Push opponents into corners for combo extensions
• Wall bounces — Use walls to extend combos
• Spacing — Stay just outside your opponent’s range, then punish whiffs

Common Beginner Mistakes

Avoid these common pitfalls:

1. Ability spamming — Using abilities randomly without setup
2. Standing still — Becoming an easy target
3. Ignoring block — Not using the block button defensively
4. Panic Ultimate — Activating Ultimate at bad times
5. Not practicing — Jumping into PvP without learning basics

Your First Steps

Follow this roadmap to improve quickly:

1. Play Aurora — Learn the basic mechanics
2. Practice M1 combos — Get the timing down consistently
3. Learn one combo — Master a simple M1 into ability chain
4. Play PvP — Apply what you’ve learned against real players
5. Watch replays — Learn from your mistakes
