Quick answer

Equip your weapon with L, close the gap with Q, attack with M1 and add M2 or R for a critical hit. Block with F and tap it just before a hit to parry. Use X to uppercut and X again for rushdown, press E to infuse your attacks with cursed energy, and B to grip.

The basic exchange

  • Equip (L), then close the gap (Q).
  • Build a combo with M1 and add a critical with M2 or R.
  • Block or parry with F when they swing.
  • Launch with X, press X again for rushdown.
  • Optional: E before the exchange to infuse your hits.

Why it matters

The description warns that the game has hardcore elements. BloxRant adds that dying gets more punishing as your grade rises, so learn dash, parry and critical counters before Grade 2 fights.

Tips

  • Practice the parry on weak curses first.
  • Don't spend E on every fight; cursed energy is a resource.
  • Check the controls page if a key feels different after an update.
