Out of all the Roblox games I’ve seen on the platform, Attack On Titan Revolution has some of the best combat ever. There are a lot of moving parts, though, not just with the combat but also with the layers of mechanics. It’s a fair bit to juggle, which is why having a starter guide for Attack On Titan Revolution comes in handy. If you’re struggling as much as I was in the beginning, I’ll teach you everything you need to know to get started.
Attack On Titan Revolution Starter Guide: The Basics
How to Customize Your Character
You don’t have to run around as your Roblox avatar in Attack On Titan Revolution. It is an RPG, after all, so why not look the part? If you’re just starting, pick a character slot, and you can begin altering your character by choosing “Customization” in the main menu.
In Attack On Titan Revolution, you can change your face, hair, outfit, and even the colors of your clothes. More importantly, this is where you can also spin for a better family name because what’s a Roblox game without a gacha mechanic?
Excluding common family names, each one comes with a handful of perks, especially the epic and legendary names. To be honest, I’d hold onto a common name; rare names are a double-edged sword and not all that worth it.
Understanding the Controls
If you’ve watched Attack On Titan and thought the ODM gear looked hard to use, just wait until you start playing AOTR. It has a really tough learning curve, considering all the moves you can do and master.
- WASD: Moves your character.
- Spacebar: Jump
- Spacebar (x2): Gives you a boost from your ODM gear
- S (x2): Perform a backflip
- A (x2): Left flip
- D (x2): Right flip
- F: Block
- Left Alt: Lets you climb walls
- Left Shift: Toggle to run or walk
- Tab: Opens the menu
- Left-click: Light attack
- B: Hook break
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: Execute skills
- C: Slide
- R: Reload your blades
- Q: Left hook
- E: Right hook
Assuming you’re new to the game, I wouldn’t even worry about earning gold or experience yet. Just pick a mission and get used to the controls first before you move on to titan-slaying.
How to Earn Experience, Gold, and Gems
Attack on Titan Revolution revolves around leveling up and, hopefully, earning some gems along the way. The latter is a premium currency but can be obtained simply by playing the game. To get all three, outside of paying Robux for them, there’s one way only: completing missions.
Whenever you complete a mission, you gain gold, experience, perks, and sometimes items, but those are on harder difficulties. You can start a mission by using the Play button, then choosing a map on the right and a difficulty along the top. I suggest sticking to easy mode until you’ve got a feel for the game.
What about gems? You won’t earn gems from missions, but rather in an indirect way. At the main menu, go over to the Quests tab. The quests you see keep track of various stats, like the number of titans you kill, critical hits, and even the number of missions completed on a daily and weekly manner. With gems, you can purchase more spins, cosmetic items, perks, and boosts.
How to Be a Titan-Slaying Machine
Believe it or not, titans aren’t all that hard to kill. Just like in the anime and manga, a quick slice to the neck is all you really need. However, as I mentioned before, the controls of Attack On Titan Revolution are tough to manage. You’ll have more trouble with that than killing titans.
Since titans turn notably slower than you (but not by much), their necks become exposed, like so:
- Hook onto a building or wall behind the titan
- As soon as you pass the titan, release and hook onto another build or wall perpendicular to the titan’s neck
- When you past their head, attack with your blades to slice their neck
Now, there is a second strategy for players still getting the hang of the game. If you attack a titan’s legs enough, they’ll stagger and take a knee. That’s your opportunity to zip on past and attack their exposed neck.
Enhancing Your Character and Equipment
At the main menu, under the Equipment tab, you’ll find several aspects of your character that can be altered and improved. There are five categories:
- Upgrades
- Skills
- Perks
- Prestige
- Artifacts
You can forget about Prestige and Artifacts for now, as those are for endgame, so you’re left with skills, upgrades, and perks. To ensure you aren’t a titan’s next meal, you need to keep up with the other three.
Upgrading Your Gear
Upgrading is simple: you spend gold to improve your gear, which applies bonuses like more critical chance, damage, ODM control, range, and so on.
One thing to keep in mind when upgrading is that you can’t focus on one category. For example, you can’t just focus on damage. Eventually, the game will stop you from upgrading until your other gear reaches a certain grade.
What Perks Are, Explained
In addition to upgrading, there are also perks. These are different from family perks but offer bonuses nonetheless. They can be crafted and enhanced using perks you don’t want. Whenever you complete a mission, you’ll earn a perk of varying quality.
Now, you can equip as many as four perks at a time, one in each category: Defense, Offense, Support, and Core. Note that you can’t equip, say, a Core perk in any of the other slots, like Defense or Offense.
The Skill Tree
Lastly, there is your skill tree, which branches off into three main categories. On the left and right are mostly defensive and support bonuses, with the right side providing more healing. As for the center, most of the nodes improve your damage. In order to unlock nodes, you’ll need two resources: gold and skill points (SP).
Naturally, gold is earned from playing the game, and skill points are awarded after you level up. Normally, I’d be really stingy about which nodes you unlock, but I would just take what you think is good for now. When you’re ready for endgame content, you’re going to reset your tree anyway.
