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.

General System Shortcuts
