Mastering Clive's controls is crucial for survival in Valisthea. Here's a quick overview:
| Action | Button (PS5) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Attack | Square | Standard sword attacks. Can be chained into combos. |
| Magic Attack | Triangle | Ranged magic attacks. Consumes MP. |
| Dodge | R1 | Quick evasion. Timed dodges grant a 'Precision Dodge' bonus. |
| Phoenix Shift | Circle | Quickly closes distance to an enemy. |
| Eikon Abilities | L2 + Face Buttons | Activates equipped Eikon abilities. |
| Limit Break | L3 + R3 | Unleashes Clive's full power when the gauge is full. |
| Lock-On | R3 | Locks onto a target, useful for focused attacks. |
| Interact | X | Opens doors, talks to NPCs, picks up items. |

Practice these basic movements and attacks in the early encounters to build muscle memory. Precision Dodges are particularly important for avoiding damage and creating openings.
