This guide will walk you through the core interface, the complete workflow, and gameplay tips for the Mac version in detail.

I. Core Interface and Workspace Overview

The main game interface is designed to be intuitive and is mainly divided into the following areas:

1. Main Menu Screen: Entered after launching the game, it includes core entry points such as “Story Mode,” “Team Deathmatch,” “Challenge Mode,” “Options,” and “Exit.”
2. Game Lobby: Entered after selecting a mode, used to choose characters, adjust skills, and get ready to start missions.
3. In-Game HUD (Heads-Up Display):
   • Top-left corner: Player character portrait, current health (green bar), and special skill meter (yellow bar).
   • Top-right corner: Teammate status and current mission objective prompts.
   • Bottom-left corner: Weapon status and ammo/energy indicator.
   • Bottom right corner: Skill cooldown indicator.
   • Center of the screen: Reticle and melee/ranged attack prompts.
4. Pause menu: Press the Esc key during gameplay to bring it up; you can view missions, adjust game settings, return to the main menu, or exit the game.

II. Complete Operation Flow: From Launch to Export (Completing a Level)

The following flow uses the single-player “Story Mode” as an example.

1. Create/Load Game Progress

Location: Main menu → “Story Mode”.

Specific steps:

1. Launch the game, and use the mouse to click or press the arrow keys to select “Story Mode”.
2. Enter the chapter selection screen. Completed chapters will be highlighted; a new game starts from “Chapter One: A New Threat”.
3. Use the mouse to click and select a chapter, or use the W/A/S/D keys to navigate, and press Space or Enter to confirm.

2. Character Selection and Preparation

Location: Game lobby.

Specific steps:

1. After selecting a chapter, you will enter the character selection screen. The four characters (Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang) are presented as cards.
2. Use the mouse to click and select a character, or use the A/D keys to switch characters, and press Space to confirm your selection.
3. After confirming your character, you will enter the skill tree interface (press the T key to bring it up directly). Here, you can use the experience points earned from checkpoints to unlock or upgrade your character’s active and passive skills.
4. Once you are ready, click the “Ready” button in the bottom-right corner of the interface (or press the R key) and wait for the game countdown to finish.

3. Core In-Game Controls and Clearing Stages

Control Location: The 3D scene within the game.

Core Loop: Move → Fight → Complete objectives → Proceed to the next area.

1. Movement and Exploration:
   • Use the W/A/S/D keys to move forward, backward, left, and right.
   • Hold the Shift key to sprint (consumes a special skill resource).
   • Press the Spacebar to jump; some characters can double jump.
   • Move the mouse to control the camera and attack direction.
2. Combat System:
   • Melee Attack: Left mouse button. You can click repeatedly to perform combo attacks.
   • Ranged Attack: Right mouse button. Consumes ammo/energy, which regenerates automatically.
   • Special Skill: Q key. Activates a character-specific skill with a cooldown time.
   • Team Attack: E key. When there are attackable enemies near your teammates, press the key to launch a powerful cooperative attack.
3. Ultimate Skill: When the special skill bar is full, press F to unleash it, dealing massive damage to enemies within range.
4. Mission Progression:
   • Follow the mission objective prompts in the upper right corner of the screen (e.g., “Destroy all dumpling sacks,” “Defend the area”).
   • After clearing all enemies in an area, the exit usually opens or a hint arrow appears.
   • Reach the end of the level, defeat the Boss or complete the final objective to clear the stage.

4. Level End and Return

After clearing the stage, the screen will display an experience settlement interface. Press Spacebar to continue, and you can choose:

• “Continue”: Proceed to the next chapter.
• “Upgrade”: Enter the skill tree interface.
• “Return to Main Menu”: End this game session and return to the main screen.

III. Advanced Tips for Common Features

1. Efficient Enemy Clearing Tips:
   • Use terrain: Lure enemies into narrow corridors and use area-of-effect skills (such as Yang’s Explosive Fist) to hit multiple targets at once.
   • Cancel combo recovery: Weave ranged attacks (right-click) or dodges (dash) into melee combos to cancel recovery frames, stay agile, and maintain continuous damage output.
   • Prioritize targets: Take out ranged-attacking “Sneakers” and self-destructing “Bolas” first, as they pose the greatest threat to the team.
2. Resource Management:
   • Special skill points (yellow bar) are not only used for dashing, but are also a core resource for certain characters’ skills (such as Weiss). Avoid exhausting them during unnecessary movement.
   • Ultimate skills (F key) provide the greatest benefit when facing large numbers of elite enemies or Bosses. Do not use them casually against small groups of enemies.
3. Skill Tree Configuration Strategy:
   • In the early game, prioritize investing in passive skills that improve survivability, such as increasing health or defense.
   • Choose based on character roles: Ruby can enhance area damage, Weiss can enhance control and support, Blake can enhance evasion and burst, and Yang can enhance melee survivability and counterattacks.
