M1 triggers the melee combo; 1–4 select skills. Their character-specific behavior is not detailed in the public listing. [1]
Find the defensive inputs
Use F for block and Q for dash. The developer also describes using Q in stun to escape, without publishing a cooldown here. [1]
Locate special and awaken
R and G are listed as special and awaken. Double W is the published sprint input. [1]
