Getting started in your first session
Step
When you load in, you are placed straight into the action with NPCs and other players nearby. Pick up a weapon, close the distance to an enemy, and start swinging. Watch how the ragdoll reacts to your hits.
- Pick a weapon choose one from the available melee weapons before engaging anyone.
- Find an NPC move toward a nearby NPC rather than a player while you are still learning.
- Close the gap get inside the enemy's attack range before you start swinging.
- Land your hits click or press the attack button to strike, and watch the ragdoll reaction.

Choosing the right melee weapon
TableThe game offers several melee weapons, and they are not all the same. A balanced sword is the safest starting point because its attack speed and reach are both reasonable. Heavier weapons hit harder but swing slowly. Lighter, faster weapons let you chain attacks together. Switching weapons mid-session is allowed.
| Balanced sword | solid attack speed and reach, good for learning the game. |
| Heavy weapon | high damage per hit, but slow swings. |
| Fast light weapon | rapid strikes that overwhelm enemies. |
Winning against NPCs
TipsNPC opponents repeat attack sequences you can memorize, and once you know when a sequence ends, you know exactly when to strike back. Fighting the same NPC several times in a row is the fastest way to lock in that rhythm.
- Keep a consistent distance so the NPC's attacks are easier to track.
- Watch the attack animation closely — the end of that animation is your window to counter.
- Strike immediately after the NPC finishes a swing, then reset to your safe distance.
- Repeat fights against the same NPC until you can predict every move without thinking.
Winning in PvP
TipsThe ragdoll physics work in your favor — when your attack staggers an opponent, chain a follow-up immediately. Missing an attack leaves you open to a counter. Against multiple players, fall back to create a one-on-one situation rather than fighting them all at once.
- Stay at the edge of your weapon's reach so you can attack without walking into theirs.
- Wait for the opponent to whiff a swing, then punish the recovery window with a quick strike.
- Chain attacks while the enemy is staggered by ragdoll physics.
- Back away and reset when you are outnumbered — never fight a crowd head-on.
- If you and your opponent are using the same weapon, faster and more accurate inputs decide the outcome.
Fixing a losing streak
CheckIf you keep losing, run through these checks.
- Are you too close to the enemy? Hugging the enemy makes it hard to dodge their attacks.
- Are you too far away? Attacks that fall short deal no damage even if the animation plays.
- Are you watching the enemy's attack animation? Missing that cue means you will always get hit during their swing.
- Does your weapon suit your style? If it feels awkward, swap to something with a different speed or range.
- Are you trying to fight multiple enemies at once? Isolate one opponent before engaging.

- NPC
- A non-player character — an enemy the game controls automatically, not a real person.
- Melee weapon
- Any weapon that requires you to be close to the enemy to deal damage, such as a sword.

Common questions
FAQWhich weapon should a new player start with?
A balanced sword is the safest first choice because its speed and range are both manageable while you are still learning. Once you are comfortable, try heavier and faster options to find what suits your style.
What do I do when several enemies surround me?
Back out of the group immediately and try to draw one enemy away from the others, creating a one-on-one situation.
Is it worth playing both PvP and PvE?
PvE lets you learn attack timing and weapon handling, and those skills carry directly into PvP.
