💡 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.

M1 x4 (perfect)1.5xClick on flash
M1 x4 + M22xHeavy after combo
M1 x4 + Skill2.5xSkill cancel after combo
Mashing (no timing)1xNo 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.
