How to fight in Gakuran on PC: beginner loop

Start with this five-input Gakuran combat loop before learning individual fighting styles. It answers the basic “how to fight in Gakuran” question without mixing advanced matchup details into the first practice session.

  1. Press M1 (left click) for light attacks to learn range and timing.
  2. Press F to block return attacks; tap F just before a hit to parry.
  3. Press Q to dash and reposition against heavies or to escape pressure.
  4. Press R for heavy attacks (M2) only when the opening is clean — heavies cannot be blocked.
  5. Press T to use your fighting style's special move once you have one.

Treat posture as part of every exchange: attack, defend, check the resource, then decide whether to pressure again or reset. Heavy attacks, parries, and posture penalties are documented on the synced Combat System Guide Pages linked above.

After the loop: parries, heavies, and posture

When the basic loop feels natural, study one advanced interaction at a time. Learn how guardbreaks change defense, how simultaneous attacks can produce a grapple, and how height modifies combat through damage, health, hitbox size, and attack speed. Your style may also affect these outcomes, so use the individual synced guides for current values and exceptions.

A useful practice order is light attacks (M1), blocking and posture management (F), dodging (Q), parrying (timed F), then heavies (R) and matchup-specific mechanics. If any input feels unfamiliar, review the Gakuran PC controls and keybinds on the dedicated controls page before re-entering practice.

How do you fight in Gakuran on PC?
On PC: M1 (left click) to attack, F to block/parry, R for the heavy attack (M2), Q to dash, and T to use your fighting style. Add parries, posture management, and dodges once the basic inputs feel familiar.
Should a beginner block, parry, or dodge in Gakuran?
Use blocking as your dependable first layer, dodge to avoid or reposition, and practice parrying once you can read when an attack will land. Heavy attacks cannot be handled like ordinary blocked hits, so consult the synced Heavy Attacks and Parrying guides for the current rules.
How do you parry in Gakuran?
Tap F just before an incoming hit to parry: no damage, no posture loss, and the attacker is stunned for a counter window. Holding F blocks but costs posture and still takes chip damage.
How do you dash in Gakuran?
Press Q to dash. It is a short burst that grants a brief invincibility window and is the standard answer to an unblockable heavy attack (M2).
How do you use your fighting style in Gakuran?
Press T to activate your fighting style's special move. Cooldown varies by style — open the Fighting Styles page for beginner picks and rarity tiers after the shared loop clicks.
Can heavy attacks (M2) be blocked in Gakuran?
No. Heavy attacks cannot be blocked and will guardbreak a held block. Parry with timed F or dash with Q instead — see the synced Heavy Attacks Guide Page for the current rules.
What should a beginner learn after the combat loop?
Move to the Fighting Styles page for beginner picks, the official rarity tier list, and links to each Style Guide Page. Treat rarity as roll chance, not a competitive ranking.
