Blade & Soul's combat is action-oriented, making fluid movement crucial. The default movement keys are W, A, S, D. You can jump with Spacebar and glide by holding Spacebar after a jump. Double-tapping W will initiate a sprint. Combat abilities are typically bound to 1-5, F, Tab, Z, X, C, V, and mouse buttons. You can customize these bindings in the 'Options' menu (Esc -> Options -> Keybinds). Mastering movement, including dashing and aerial maneuvers, is key to avoiding damage and positioning yourself effectively in combat. Practice these movements in the tutorial area to get a feel for them.
