# Controls

The game plays with keyboard and mouse; a gamepad is also supported. Here are the
defaults.

## Movement

| Input | Action |
|-------|--------|
| **Arrow keys** or **W A S D** | Move your character |
| Walk into a warp tile or map edge | Travel to the linked map |

## Combat & interaction

| Input | Action |
|-------|--------|
| **Space** | Attack / interact with your target |
| **Tab** | Cycle to the next target |
| **Right-click** a monster | Target it (ranged classes strike from afar) |
| **1**–**9**, **0** | Fire the matching hotbar slot (0 = slot 10) |
| Hold **E** | Gather from a resource node you're facing |

## Interface

| Input | Action |
|-------|--------|
| **Enter** | Focus the chat box; Enter again to send |
| **Double-click** an inventory item | Use or equip it |
| **Escape** | Close the open overlay |
| Drag from the hotbar edit button | Rearrange your hotbar |

## Tips

- Ranged classes (Paladin, Sorcerer, Druid, Warlock) can attack from a distance —
  target first with Tab or right-click, then Space.
- The hotbar holds ten slots. Slot ten is the **0** key.
- Everything is server-authoritative, so there's nothing to configure for fair
  play — just move and fight.
