Gakuran Controls

Quick answer

Attack Left-click / M1 (R2 on controller).
Slam / grab G or V depending on build — confirm in Settings.
Stomp downed enemy F.
Weave / dodge Hold Space + a movement key (or Q dash).
Most important Verify your exact binds in-game — two schemes circulate.

Gakuran's controls cover movement, combat stance, and the grab/finisher actions that make up its signature combo. Because the game is young and community-documented, two keybind schemes are reported — one from combat clips, one from a community index. We list both below so you can match whichever your build uses, then confirm in the in-game Settings menu. PC, mobile, and Xbox are all supported.

Heads up — sources disagreeGakuran controls are community-sourced and two reported schemes circulate. We show both below — always confirm in your in-game Settings after updates.

Mobile & Xbox

Mobile: the same actions map to on-screen buttons — you can remap them in Settings. Bind your stance/dodge where your right thumb can reach without looking; most ambushes start within two seconds of someone sprinting up. Xbox/controller: use the controller column above and move stance to a spare shoulder button if the default feels awkward.

Why two schemes?Different creators captured different builds, and the UI can rename actions after patches. We list both rather than guess — accuracy first.

Common control mistakes

Assuming one scheme is "the" scheme. Your build may use either set — test the grab and dodge keys in a safe spot before a real fight.
Leaving default mobile binds. The stock on-screen layout buries dodge; remap stance and dodge under your right thumb so you can react without looking.
Forgetting to enter stance. Several actions (weave, heavy, parry) only work in combat stance — bind it somewhere instant.
Not re-checking after updates. Patches can rename or remap actions; re-open Settings after a big update.
