The same key can trigger different attacks depending on the weapon or form. If there are multiple sections, expand the relevant form to check.

PRIMARY ATTACK

Iron Volley

LMB

Fires magnetic orbs whose explosion area depends on travel distance.

ULTIMATE

Meteor M

Q

Forms a meteor that absorbs projectiles for power, but overload destroys it.

ABILITY

Metallic Curtain

SHIFT

Raises a magnetic curtain that blocks projectiles.

ABILITY

Metal Bulwark

E

Shields an ally; absorbed damage builds his rings.

ABILITY

Iron Bulwark

F

Shields himself; absorbed damage builds his rings.

ABILITY

Mag-Cannon

RMB

Consumes rings for a stronger shot, adding knockback at full charge.

ABILITY

Magnetic Descent

Space

Holds jump to fall slowly.

HOW TO PLAY

  1. Use Metallic Curtain for short threat windows and let cover preserve your defensive resources.
  2. Shield a pressured or engaging ally with Metal Bulwark and reserve Iron Bulwark for your own danger.
  3. Check ring charge before Mag-Cannon and use the full-charge knockback to disrupt positioning.
  4. Watch incoming fire during Meteor M rather than risking overload for extra power.
COMMON MISTAKE

Spending both shields without planning and forgetting the meteor can overload.
