Every 18-player server shares the same combat rules, but the input layout changes by device.

Combat Flow Rules

M1 Confirmations: M1 light attacks inflict brief hitstun. Follow up M1 hits immediately with E/R skills before opponents can Q-dash away.

Cooldown Positioning: When both E and R are on cooldown, use double jumps and terrain elevation to reset spacing.

Third-Party Awareness: In an 18-player arena, punish players already locked in fights instead of pushing into open ground.
