Player Guides

Tutorials and tips to help you master Heian.

Beginner's Guide

Heian can be challenging to start as it lacks an in-game tutorial. Here are some key tips for new players:

  • Gather Resources: Pick up herbs and other items you find on the ground. These are used for crafting and progression.
  • Check Your Inventory: Press `Tab` to open your inventory, skill point menu, and see your current quests.
  • Get Cursed Techniques: Prioritize completing questlines from CT Trainers to unlock powerful abilities that will shape your combat style.
  • Re-rolling Your Clan: You can change your clan by wiping your save data (red skull icon in the save menu) and creating a new character. Visit the barber in Kirishima Village to change your hairstyle.
  • Use Community Resources: Use the official Trello board for structured information and join the Discord server for real-time tips.
