Slayer Tycoon Controls

The official Roblox description for Slayer Tycoon is mostly a control card. That is not flavor text — the combat tycoon is unplayable if you mix up roll and sprint. This page is the full input map for PC, Xbox, and mobile, then the v2.0 HUD details that older YouTube videos skip.

Learn these before you enter the mines or take a boss. A missed roll is how farmers drop Nichirin ore for griefers. Pair this page with getting started and PvP.

PC keyboard

Action	Input
Move	WASD or arrow keys
Jump	Space
Roll	Q while standing
Sprint	Q while moving
Skills 1–5	E, R, T, Y, U
Basic attack	Left mouse (M1)
Unequip / sheath	Use the weapon slot again (v2.0 plays a sheath animation)

The Q split is the one players fail. Standing Q is an i-frame roll with its own cooldown. Moving Q starts a sprint that, after v2.0, lasts until you stop running. Roll and sprint no longer share one cooldown. If you mash Q while strafing into a Shockwave Demon combo, you will sprint into the punch instead of rolling through it.

Skill keys map onto the kit you have equipped — a breathing katana, a Blood Demon Art, or a fighting style. Empty slots do nothing. v2.0 color-codes the five cooldown bars so you can see which form is ready without counting.

Xbox

Action	Button
Roll	Y
Skills	D-pad
Move / camera	Sticks (standard Roblox)

Coldjason’s description calls out Y and the D-pad specifically. Everything else uses default Roblox gamepad mapping. If a skill does not fire, you are on the wrong D-pad direction or the cooldown bar is still empty — not a broken controller.

Mobile

Mobile gets on-screen buttons for roll and skills. Landscape mode is strongly preferred; the v2.0 HUD is large. Community notes say some Solo Player Style skills (especially Ruler’s Hand) are awkward to aim on a thumb. If you plan to main Solo Style, a mouse is kinder.

There is no separate “codes” button to hunt on mobile. See the codes hub.

v2.0 HUD extras

• Pickup prompts when you grab wood, ore, bags, or souls.
• Damage indicators that can be toggled off if the numbers clutter PvP.
• Color-coded skill CDs for slots 1–5.
• Sheath when you unequip a katana.
• Infinite sprint until you stop, with roll on a separate timer.

These changes make older “hold Q to dash” videos slightly wrong. Trust this page and the v2.0 notes over a 2021 showcase for movement tech.

Combat habits that matter more than the keybinds

1. Roll first, skill second against bosses. Shockwave Demon copies Akaza’s kit; eating Destroy Type because you sprinted is a wipe.
2. Do not sprint in the money-plate room if a raider is nearby — you want the roll available.
3. M1 is not optional. Most kits deal 5 damage per hit on the basic string. Skills win trades; M1 wins the downtime. Rankings on the breathing and demon art pages assume you still click.
4. Food is a control. Udon (about $500 on a Demon base) and bento (about $600 near the train) are inputs as much as E is. The boss guide still recommends stacking udon for ranged kiting.
5. Sun Tools (250 R$ gamepass) one-shot trees and ore. That is a gathering bind, not a combat bind, but it changes how long you hold the hatchet mouse button.

Style and art stances

Some kits change your idle. Love Breathing uses a unique hold pose. Shockwave Art puts you in a martial stance and can fire a compass knockback when equipped. Moon Art is a flesh-katana with a long sheath. None of that remaps E–U; it only changes what those keys do. Read the kit page on the tier list before you blame the keyboard.
