Quick answers
How do you parry in Valor Mortis?
Block just as the enemy's strike lands: Left Ctrl on PC, L1 on PlayStation, LB on Xbox. A timed block is a parry, and parries drain the enemy's posture; once it breaks, the enemy is open for a finisher.
How do you dodge in Valor Mortis?
Press Left Alt while moving and you dodge in that direction; a side mouse button does the same. On a controller the default scheme dodges with R1 on PlayStation or RB on Xbox, again while moving; the Classic scheme puts it on Circle or B.
How do you heal in Valor Mortis?
F on PC. On a controller it is D-pad down in the default scheme, with the three item slots on D-pad left, up and right; the flask shows its charges in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
How do you reload and switch weapons in Valor Mortis?
R reloads on PC and Q opens the weapon wheel. On a controller Square or X reloads, holding Triangle or Y opens the weapon wheel, and a quick tap of it swaps back to the weapon you held before.
How do you lock on in Valor Mortis?
Press the mouse wheel (Mouse 3) on PC, or click the right stick on a controller, to lock on and off. On a pad, flick the right stick left or right to switch targets.
Can you rebind the controls in Valor Mortis?
On mouse and keyboard, yes: every binding can be changed. On a controller you pick one of several preset control schemes instead of moving single buttons.
Should you play Valor Mortis on controller or keyboard?
Both are fully supported. Steam lists full controller support, DualShock and DualSense included, and the keyboard layout can be rebound key by key. The mouse makes aiming the revolver and the aimed powers easier; a pad keeps block, dodge and heal under your fingers without leaving the sticks.
Does Valor Mortis have difficulty settings?
Not at launch. Lyrical Games says the game is built around one challenge, though options may be added over time.
