Start with the settings below, then adjust them to your playstyle. Pick Adventure for Basic (Hunt) if you are a beginner and Classic once you are comfortable, set the frame rate as high as your device can handle, and keep Camera Terrain Adjustments on.
Best Control Settings
Some values in the screenshots differ from the recommendations. Follow the tables, not the screenshots.
Basic (Hunt) on the Controls tab switches between two control modes, Adventure and Classic.
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Basic (Hunt) | Adventure for beginners, Classic for intermediate and advanced players |
| Adventure: Roll Button / Adventure: Sheathe Button | On |
| Auto-Sheath | On (Classic only) |
| Skill Wheel Controls | Swipe |
| Joystick Modes for Charging and Direction Change | Hybrid Mode |
| Aim Sensitivity | Your preference |
| Show Part Status | On |
| Radial Menu Sync | Off |
| Auto-Deploy Glider | On |
| Aim Assist | On |
| Invert Glider Dash Controls | Off |
| Auto-Use Facilities | Off |
| Auto-Use Items When Selected in Radial Menu | On |
| Enable Movement Joystick | On |
Check your control settings again whenever you switch between Adventure and Classic. Start from the values above, then adjust them to match how you play.
Customize Button Layout and Size
Each Basic (Hunt) mode has its own on-screen button layout. Tap Custom next to Custom Layout: Classic or Custom Layout: Adventure, then select a button to change its Button Size, Button Transparency, Response Area Size, and Response Area Offset (horizontal and vertical). Solo and Multiplayer each keep their own layout.
Best Graphics Settings
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Graphics Quality | The highest available setting |
| High Frame Rate Mode | On |
| Frame Rate (Field) | The highest available setting |
| Frame Rate (Free Hunt/Arena) | The highest available setting |
| Anti-Aliasing | FXAA or TAA (turn it Off to reduce the load on your device) |
| Player Display Limit | 4 |
| Other Player's Visual Effects | None |
Some devices can't use every graphics option. Options your device doesn't support show a lock icon, and the Device Load gauge at the top of the screen shows how heavy your current settings are.
Prioritize frame rate. Set it as high as your device can handle first, then adjust the other options around it. Higher image quality looks better but also puts more load on your device.
If the game stutters or your phone overheats, lower the graphics settings one step at a time and check whether performance improves before you keep playing.
Recommended Camera Settings
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Camera Speed (Horizontal) | Normal |

| Lock-On Camera Speed (Horizontal) | Normal |
| Lock-On Camera Speed (Vertical) | Normal |

| Camera Distance: Non-Hunting | Normal |
| Camera Terrain Adjustments | On |
Apart from Camera Terrain Adjustments, the camera options come down to preference. Start from the defaults, try them in both combat and exploration, and fine-tune from there. If you're unsure, pick Normal.
