Recommended Settings
Adjusting Camera Speed
You can adjust the sensitivity of the camera, so adjust it to a speed that suits you. "Cinematic" refers to the least sensitive setting and "Fast" refers to the most sensitive setting. In this game, where the battle speed is fast and you need to constantly keep enemies in your field of view, it is recommended to set the camera speed to a faster setting.
