arrows 100%

most of the time arrows tho sometimes when you gotta circle around alot (looks at dragons) i find mouse easier to rotate around

Arrows or Stick
You can always hold Shift to slow down (focus mode) for higher precision. Works even if you have insanely high speed items.

Arrows and spacebar for slowing movement.
All abilites on mouse.
Works perfectly fine for me.

Personally I think the analog stick is better than both. Mouse have issues stopping completely when a mechanic requires you to stop. Arrows take more work to do circular motion (and a lot of patterns are circular).

[Elzheiz]

Grab a controller, 100%. It takes some getting used to for the skills, but once you got that down it's MUCH better than being constrained to 8 directions on keyboard.

I swapped to wasd

I think people who try to enforce arrow keys never really played any videogame. I always had WASD movement in my videogames and MMOs. But if you want the true experience I think this game is tailored to controller players. So basically RIP PC gamers and enjoy @console gamers.

I swapped to arrows that I remapped to WASD. I found the mouse movement was too slow and I couldn't move fast enough to reach the safe zones sometimes.

dude back in the day arrow keys used to be the main way to move. also alot of the old mmos were moved based on mouse (click where you want to move) so idk what you are talking about when you say people never really played any videogame

You mean back in the 90´s when Counterstrike came out and everyone moved with WASD? or did you mean when floppy discs were a thing and you played stuff like micromachines on windows 3.11 which also had WASD movement? I don´t know how much further you would go, but WASD has been around for a while now, even in 2004 with WoW and other mmos. So yeah. My point still stands that your normal movement option for keyboard is WASD in 99,99999% of the cases and anyone who thinks that arrows are the usual movement choice really hasn´t played a lot of games.

Mouse takes a lot of getting used to but you can get actually pretty good accuracy on it. The actual real upsides are the ergonomy when it comes to anything else (abilities & focus/targeting) and the fact that you can precisely pinpoint a position, which is really useful in not only making your movement predictable for your allies but also for those frequent moments where you need to quickly reach a minuscule and risky gap.
What it is bad at though, is turbulent winds and staying in movement (stop moving is fine, the trick is to tap any WASD direction and it instantly resets your pointer's position on you).

I'd still say analog is king here (being locked to 8 directions drastically lowers your speed) but M&KB is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.

i said main way not only way. also dunno what a shooter has to do with this completely different genre.

for someone who apparently has played alot of games your only examples are the big popular games of not even the same genre as this game.... try bringing up danmaku games which ALL pretty much used arrowkeys which is the actually same genre as this game.

i dont know why you are hung up on the fact that arrowkeys for movement used to be a thing, sure not everywhere but was pretty common and just because YOU dont have much experience with games in the past using them doesnt mean people that do hasnt played alot of games(?) which doesnt even make sense lmao

WASD is the common way of movement in games that you play with one hand on keyboard, one hand on mouse. Arrow keys are the common way of movement for games you play with both hands on keyboard.
