Notes on Shortcuts

  • The [Shift] fast-forward function requires an active Valkyrie’s Favor.
  • When only four units are available, keys [1–4] are used instead of [1–5].

Pro Tip: Holding Keys for Instant Activation

  • Holding down [1–5] or [Q] will trigger the skill as soon as the energy gauge is full.
  • This is treated as continuous input and functions differently from Auto Mode.
  • Generally faster and more precise than repeated mouse clicks.
  • Performance Note: Effectiveness may vary depending on OS keyboard repeat rate settings.
  • Hardware Limitation: Due to “key ghosting,” some keyboards may not support multiple simultaneous inputs. Using a controller or key mapping may help.
  • Useful in competitive modes such as Tournament of Elements (ToE) or Guild Raids, where timing is important.
