Blade & Soul 2 has finally entered its official public testing phase and is now available to us. Recently, many newcomers have joined the game, and upon entering, it's important to understand the gameplay of this new title, especially the combat mechanics, etc. To help these newcomers understand how to play Blade & Soul 2, the following guide will provide a detailed overview of the initial steps and related tips. After reading this, you'll know how to get started.

The first thing we need to do if we want to play is to choose a suitable profession for ourselves. The choice of profession is very important. Although the restrictions on professions in this work have been relaxed significantly, with multiple professions being set up, the selection of the initial profession still needs to be one that suits you. This is because the profession chosen at the beginning will be the player's main profession for a long time to come, so it must be chosen correctly. To select a profession that suits you, you need to understand the role positioning of the professions.
In the game, professions are divided into three types: DPS, support, and tank. Among them, there is only one support profession (healer) and one tank profession. These two professions are Xuanling and Axeman, respectively. The former has team healing abilities, while the latter has taunt and shield skills. There are more options for DPS, including melee DPS such as Assassin, Pugilist, and Swordsman, and ranged DPS such as Sorcerer, Summoner, and Archer. You need to choose from these different roles, pick a position you like, and then choose your favorite profession based on the demonstrations.

After completing the selection of your profession, the next step is to understand the game's combat mechanics, which means learning how to fight. Speaking of combat, it is no different from other real-time combat MMORPGs on the market. The game uses a real-time combat system, where you can move around and release skills while fighting. During combat, you need to pay attention to the enemy's skill releases, avoid their attacks, and counter-attack. This is the most basic combat mode in the game.
After understanding the combat mode, you need to learn the combat techniques specific to your profession. Each profession in the game has its own techniques, which require learning. Only by fully understanding the output methods of your profession can you perform normally in actual combat. Therefore, you need to find and learn these techniques. Once you have mastered the combat methods, you can start improving your combat power.

Improving combat power is very important, as everything in the game is built on the condition of having high combat power. Therefore, you must understand the methods to improve combat power. When it comes to improving combat power, there are many ways to do so. The first is to craft equipment. You need to obtain equipment through various methods such as running dungeons, completing daily tasks, and defeating world bosses. The equipment should be orange quality. Once you have a set of orange equipment, you need to enhance it to level 15, which requires a lot of time and materials. This process cannot be rushed. In the process of enhancing equipment, you also need to unlock the Star Map.

The Star Map is filled with star points, and by activating these points, you can gain corresponding attributes. Activating these star points requires specific materials, which can be obtained through various means such as exploration, dungeons, and the trading post. You need to accumulate these materials to fill up the Star Map. The materials for the Star Map have fewer restrictions and can be accumulated quickly, making it easy to complete. After filling up the Star Map, you also need to complete world exploration, collect codex entries, achievements, and draw Blade Souls and Guardian Spirits, as well as collect memory fragments, to further improve your combat power. By using these systems related to combat power, you can significantly increase your strength, and at this point, you will have a thorough understanding of the game.

This concludes the full guide on how to play Blade & Soul 2. After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone has understood the relevant gameplay mechanics that newcomers need to master and knows how to play the game. Now it's time for each of you to experience the game yourself.
