step 1-combat
first things first, this is a DW game so hitting things with your sword is your main goal.

to do this and keep in mind i have a naga razor mouse so this is a bit better for me, we need to rebind ALL OF THE KEYS IN THE GAME so lets start with combat.

Were going to put our combat anywhere you want "i suggest the number pad"
how mine are set is 7 for normal attacks 4 is my power attacks
and 9 is that ultamate-moveamajiger-thing

When you have them set like this you can use just your right hand for all your combat

Nifty huh?
step 2-movement
this is a key part of hitting things with your sword-you need to be faceing it.

for movement lets bind it to the normal W A S D-keys this way it feels a tad more like a fps/minecraft ....you know the block game you spent hours on last night.

This next bit is not really movement but YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY WITHOUT IT

look for where it says "camera left" and bind it to Q right next to your forward key W

now do the same thing but this time bind "camera right" and the E key.

When your moveing use the Q&E to turn. Dont hit A&D or the camera will jerk to the side.

last lets put jump to the spacebar...like in minecraft...in which you play.

and because I completely almost forgot you need to block with your sword so you live longer, and we all know liveing longer=hitting with sword longer.

lets bind the Guard/block to the LEFT SHIFT, this way you dont have to move your hand to block!

PS you can hit the left shift with your pinky. dont ask why im reminding you...i have friends with how to put it...problems?
I LIED HERE'S STEP 3
I lied again this is just the final notes.

Im aware there are quite a few more keys you can bind but really the only ones you need are the ones above, that and I have to pee kinda bad

Also please keep in mind i have my number pad on my mouse so you may want to bind the combat to something else!

Anyway hope this helps hush the "good-game cruddy controls!" posts and comments as iv been playing DW games since i was a kid and let me tell you-this is just as good as the rest.

good luck and dont play as LuBu=he's op and ruins the game.

tyrax ur right i have no idea why they changed his animations for moving and his epic attack animations to what they are now. his animations now are just dull and boring and his moveset way less intimidating.

LuBu in the earlier titles is scary, nigh invincible and hits like a truck. Now, he's just annoying

Oh, & also, imho Lu Bu never really scares me... yet i'd swear as the Numbers go up, his Move Set gets more & more nerfed.
