Guides to the systems the game never explains

What these cover, and what they deliberately do not

These were picked from a pass over 198 Steam reviews from the launch window rather than from a keyword tool, counting how often each theme recurred. Performance came first with 59 mentions, 25 of them in negative reviews. Then balance at 54, comparisons to other games in the genre at 50, single-player at 32, matchmaking at 23, not understanding the objective at 22, and the absence of a tutorial at 17. The first and the sixth are the two biggest actionable clusters, and they are the first two guides here.

Balance is the largest cluster we deliberately do not write about. A balance take four days into a launch is an opinion wearing a guide's clothes, and it ages worse than anything else on a game site — the first patch landed one day into Advance Access, before most of those reviews were written.

If you have never played a tag character at all, start with how to play instead — it covers the format from zero. If you want the raw data rather than an explanation, the trait database is filterable by type, gauge cost and air usability.
