Soulrift Controls Cheat Sheet
The bind table you keep open while the long [controls](/guides/controls/) guide stays closed.
Use this controls reference as a tool, not a novel. The lesson version is controls. Parent: tools hub. Official description: Left Click = M1, Q = Dash, Z/X/C = abilities, keybinds changeable in Settings. Movement is WASD.
Keyboard / mouse defaults
| Action | Default bind | Fail state |
|---|---|---|
| Move | W A S D | Standing in the telegraph |
| Attack | Left mouse (M1) | Holding through a slam |
| Dash / dodge | Q | Sprinting with Dash, empty when the slam lands |
| Ability 1 | Z | Wrong slot in panic |
| Ability 2 | X | Same |
| Ability 3 | C | Same |
Remap in the lobby. Test on the lowest boss difficulty tick. Do not remap mid-fight.
Suggested remaps (optional)
- Dash → Left Shift if you came from other Roblox fighters.
- Skills → 1 2 3 if Z/X/C cramps your left hand.
- Never Dash + M1 on one mouse button.
Mobile
Same five combat actions on GUI buttons. Put Dash where the thumb rests. If a shop or quest popup covers Dash, close it before the teleport. Getting started.
Character reminders (no fake skill titles)
- Nyx: dump Blood meter on a slot; do not sit full forever (quest roster).
- Raiden: hook plus Dash are two spends (shop roster).
- Clockwork: buffs are team buttons; bind them where you can hit them while looking at the arena.
- Lumina: long CD — look at the cooldown UI, not just the boss.
- Reviva: heal/revive beats a greedy M1 string.
Session checklist
- Settings → confirm Dash.
- Accessories equipped (accessories).
- Role matches the lobby (team comps).
- Difficulty honest (beat bosses).
- If teaching, send this sheet plus Shuffle Mode only after they survive a standard fight.
Not on this sheet
Codes (codes hub), VIP (gamepasses), executors (scripts). Those do not add binds. If a GUI overlays extra keys, you are on a script, not on helix_works’ input map.

Unlock planner for the next shop kit you will need to re-learn Z/X/C on. Players for who you just bought. Patch notes if a publish adds a bind — we will add a row rather than a rumor.
Print or second-monitor this table. Then close the wiki and Dash the slam. That is the whole product. The rest of the wiki — tier list, Players, guides — is for after the bind is already in your hand. Soulrift is a pattern game; the cheat sheet only exists so you stop asking which key is Dash while the wind-up plays. If helix_works adds a fourth skill slot, this table grows a row. Until then, five combat actions plus WASD is the entire input surface of the Roblox boss fighter.
Teaching binds in sixty seconds
Say: WASD move, click to hit, Q is the only dodge, Z X C are the three unique buttons, change them in Settings before we teleport. Then watch their first slam. If they M1 through it, repeat only the Dash sentence. Do not add Nyx meter lore in the first minute. After they live a round, send the long controls guide. This sheet is the onboarding card, not the theory class.
Controller players: map Dash to a bumper you are willing to mash without dropping camera. Soulrift’s published sheet is keyboard-first; the Settings menu is still the source of truth. If a bind does not stick, you edited it in a fight instance — go back to the lobby and save again.
