Akayuki Guide: How to Start, Level Up and Use the Forge

Learn the confirmed basics of Akayuki combat, blade upgrades and family names.

Researched November 13, 2026 · Game updates can change details.

Quick answer

Learn the dojo controls, fight players or enemies to gain levels, and check the forge whenever you reach a five-level blade-upgrade milestone.

Your first steps

Start in the dojo and work through its movement and sword exercises. Get comfortable approaching a target, drawing your weapon and making a deliberate cut before joining a fight.

After the tutorial, fight players or enemies to gain levels. At each five-level milestone, check the forge for the next blade upgrade. The last blade upgrade is available at level 50.

PC controls and the dojo

On PC, a community walkthrough uses WASD to move, Q to lock on and M to open the menu. It describes E for equipping the sword; a player guide uses Z to draw it. Check the labels in your controls menu because the two sources may describe different actions.

For the horizontal cut in the dojo walkthrough, equip the sword, move close to the target, move the mouse left, then hold left click and swipe right. If the motion feels awkward, open M → Settings and adjust mouse sensitivity in small steps.

Quests and combat results

Keep the quest tracker visible while learning. One documented starting objective, Path of the Sword, asks players to finish the dojo; the walkthrough reports 25 currency and 50 XP for that step. Check your own tracker for the current objective and reward.

Read the wording carefully: a later documented objective counts wounds rather than wins. In a fight, do not assume that an opponent is defeated just because a limb is injured; watch the result before moving on.

Leveling and the forge

Fight players or enemies to level up, then visit the forge at levels 5, 10, 15 and each later five-level checkpoint. Inspect the option and its requirements before spending currency.

The community walkthrough describes heating the blade, striking it while hot, reheating it if it cools, then dipping and finishing it. Follow the forge prompts as you work. Level 50 is the last blade-upgrade milestone stated by the developer; it is not a confirmed overall character level cap.

What to check after a fight

Look at the result, your level and your currency after an encounter. If you completed a tracked objective, check the quest panel for the next one. If you crossed a blade milestone, visit the forge before continuing.

Use the information displayed in your own interface to confirm that a reward or upgrade was applied.

Family names

Open Character to roll a family name. The developer says rarer names give stronger stat uplifts. Review the displayed bonuses before deciding whether to keep a result or use another Rename Spin.

Some reported codes award Rename Spins. The codes page lists the reported rewards and redemption steps.

Practice and updates

A useful first combat routine is to practice side-dashing, kick and a downward cut separately. When each input feels comfortable, try a dash into a kick or a dash into a downward cut against an opponent.

The game listing and its Roblox community are useful places to check updates. We have not established that the controls or mechanics described in the linked player guides have changed.
