💡 Quick Tip: Learn the M1 combo timing first. Perfect combos deal 50% more damage than mashing.
⚔️Basic Combat
- M1 (Left Click): Basic attack combo — 4 hits with timing
- M2 (Right Click): Heavy attack — slower but more damage
- Dodge (Double-tap direction): I-frames during dodge animation
- Block (Hold key): Reduces incoming damage by 50%
- Skills: Class-specific abilities with cooldowns
Perfect M1 timing: Click right as the previous attack animation ends. You'll see a flash effect on perfect combos.
🎯Combo System
Excry uses a timing-based combo system. Clicking at the right moment chains attacks for bonus damage.
| Combo | Damage Multiplier | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| M1 x4 (perfect) | 1.5x | Click on flash |
| M1 x4 + M2 | 2x | Heavy after combo |
| M1 x4 + Skill | 2.5x | Skill cancel after combo |
| Mashing (no timing) | 1x | No timing needed |
🐉PvE Tips
- Learn enemy attack patterns before engaging
- Dodge through attacks for positioning advantage
- Use skills during enemy recovery frames
- Group up for dungeons — healers make runs much safer
- Upgrade your weapon regularly for DPS increases
⚠️ Don't fight enemies more than 10 levels above you. The damage reduction makes it extremely inefficient.
