Akayuki Controls: PC Basics and Combat Inputs

Review reported PC controls and learn where device-specific evidence is still missing.

Researched November 14, 2026 · Game updates can change details.

Quick answer

Start with movement and lock-on, then practice dash, kick and a deliberate sword cut. The PC inputs below are reported by the community and player guides; check your controls menu for your own settings.

Before you start

Use this table as a PC starting point. It combines the community dojo walkthrough with the supplied player guides. The exact relationship between E and Z is unresolved, so check the action labels in your own controls menu.

On mobile, use the buttons and prompts shown on your device; we have not verified a touch-control layout.

Movement and targeting

Move with WASD and use Q to lock on, as described in the PC walkthrough. Practice staying oriented toward a target while moving around it, rather than holding forward and swinging repeatedly.

Player guides recommend side-dashing to change your angle. Start with one dash, regain your view of the opponent and then decide whether there is room to attack.

Drawing and attacking

The dojo walkthrough uses E to equip the sword, while CHALLS describes Z for taking it out. The available sources do not show whether those labels refer to the same action, separate actions or different settings.

For the horizontal cut in the dojo walkthrough, approach the target, move the mouse left, hold left click and swipe right. Practice the motion slowly until you can direct the cut reliably.

Open the in-game menu with M and look under Settings for Mouse Sensitivity, as described by the community guide. Change it a little at a time: you need to turn quickly enough to follow an opponent without overshooting your aim.

Two combinations to practice

Try dash → kick → regular attack. CHALLS identifies Shift for dash and F for kick; Radex recommends linking the two actions before a regular attack.

For a second drill, dash toward the target and follow with a downward cut. Practice both sequences as options for creating an opening, not guaranteed combos.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I lock on to an opponent?

A community tutorial reports Q for lock-on on PC. Check the in-game controls if your binding differs.

How do I kick and dash?

CHALLS describes F for kick and Shift for dash. Radex recommends practicing a dash followed by a kick and regular attacks.

Is the sword key E or Z?

One walkthrough calls E the equip key; a player describes Z for drawing the sword. The sources do not resolve whether these are separate actions or settings.
