In this beginner’s guide, we will be covering the basic gameplay mechanics and explaining about the systems set in place for you to grow!

Choosing a Class

Just as you launch the game and sign in, the very first task you will be thrown with would be to choose a class. If you’re unaware about the different classes and their pros/cons, we would recommend checking out a thorough class guide. To summarize, you can choose 1 out of 5 classes – Knight, Mage, Archer, Barbarian, and Astrologer. Each class boasts unique passive and active abilities that determine your overall playstyle for the rest of the game. At the time of writing, no class change or dual class system is available. Hence, make this decision after careful thinking as it is irreversible. 

Character Customization

On the subsequent screen to class selection, there will be character customization. Players can module how they want their characters to look and name them as well. There’s a lot of customization options, ranging from choosing the style and color of your virtual avatar, all the way to selecting a body type. Much like class selection, you cannot change any customization you made to your virtual avatar later in the game. So, we would advise you to spend some time and get creative!

Understanding the Combat Mechanics of Flame of Valhalla

Flame of Valhalla plays like any other mobile MMORPG. It has a virtual keypad to help you move your character on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, you will observe many control buttons. First 4 are your active abilities that you can use in battles. Once used, they go on a cooldown. Next up, we have the Dodge/Dash button just below the abilities. You can use it to dodge incoming attacks or abilities. On the far right-hand side you will see a huge basic attack button to help you cast normal attacks in battles. Depending on the class you chose, it will reflect your main weapon.

In battle scenarios, you can see your HP bar in green on the top left-hand side of the screen. Below that will be your overall combat power (CP). This number is a generalized assumption of your total power. It is influenced by many factors – account level, equipment, skills, mounts, title, gems, wings, Valkyrie, and more. Keep in mind you will need to increase your CP at all times to combat the tougher enemies in different dungeons and story quests. You can also check out various ways to improve CP by clicking on the arrow icon on the right-hand side.
