## Combat controls cheat sheet

| Left click (M1) | Light attack | Chainable; do not spam — opponents can parry. See the Light Attacks (M1) guide. |
| R (M2) | Heavy attack | More damage than a single M1, on cooldown. Cannot be blocked — parry or dodge instead. |
| F (hold) | Block | Drains posture on each hit absorbed. See Blocking (Posture). |
| F (timed) | Parry | Press F just before impact while facing the attacker: no damage, no posture loss, attacker stunned. |
| T | Use fighting style | Activates your style's special move. Cooldown varies by style. |
| B | Execute | Used on downed opponents. |
| V | Carry | Carry another player. |

## How to fight in Gakuran on PC: beginner loop

Start with this five-input Gakuran combat loop before learning individual fighting styles. It keeps the first practice session focused on the core controls.

1. **M1** (left click) for light attacks — learn range and timing.
2. **F** to block; tap F just before a hit to parry.
3. **Q** to dash against heavies or escape pressure.
4. **R** for heavies only when the opening is clean (unblockable).
5. **T** for your fighting style special once you have one.

Treat posture as part of every exchange.

## After the loop

Study guardbreaks, grapples, and [height combat modifiers](https://gakuran.cc/how-to/height.md). Practice order: M1 → block/posture → dodge → parry → heavies.

Then compare styles on [Fighting Styles](https://gakuran.cc/fighting-styles.md) (rarity = roll chance, not PvP rank).
