What Platform Should You Play On?

Sword of Justice is primarily designed for mobile but also available on PC. While the PC version looks great visually, the mobile version offers smoother controls and a more optimized experience.

If you prefer playing on PC, using an emulator like BlueStacks can help replicate the mobile controls while maintaining performance and stability. It even supports gamepads and customizable key mapping, making it ideal for smoother gameplay.

1. First-Time Tips: Cutscenes and Initial Choices

Watch the opening cinematic. It explains story context and helps you understand your character’s role.

During the intro you’ll hit choice moments. Try both options if you can — the “sink further into despair” path was more story-rich in beta, while the “wake up” route is more straightforward. Neither choice permanently breaks your playthrough, so feel free to experiment.

Early dialogue choices in the main quest also branch flavorfully (there’s an “honest” vs “lie” option). Picking different responses unlocks different lines and options but won’t lock you out of core content.

2. Classes: What Stood Out in Beta (and Gender Locks)

Classes are partially gender-locked for some roles (notably the healer in beta). Keep that in mind when picking visuals and role. Two classes that performed especially well in closed testing: Night Walker (swordsman) and Numina. They tended to dominate in many PvP and open-world encounters.

• NightWalker: high burst, combo chains, stealth/invisibility mechanics in PvP, crowd-control resistances. Great for aggressive PvP players who enjoy mobility + lethal combos.
• Numina: elemental caster with AoE damage, stuns, a summon/pet that can taunt and deal damage, shields, and self-healing. Very versatile—strong in both solo and group play.

Other roles: tanks, healers, agile melee (duelists), assassins, and hybrid support/bard-like classes exist. Pick the class that matches how you like to play—be useful, enjoy the gameplay.

3. Cosmetics, Pay Structure, and F2P Notes

Cosmetic items generally do not grant combat stats. They are visual only, so you won’t be forced to buy outfits to be competitive. Some mounts or companion items offered small QoL or minor perks during beta, but nothing game-breaking in the early testing phase.

There’s a battle pass and premium shop. Battle pass progression can speed resource gains, but the game felt reasonably friendly to free players during beta thanks to market/auction systems and free rewards. Keep an eye on future balance patches.

4. Leveling Tips and Server Cap

Focus on completing the main story quests first. They provide the highest EXP and unlock essential features like skills, dungeons, and mounts. Sword of Justice uses a server-level cap system, meaning players can only reach a certain level per day or week. This system helps newcomers catch up with older players.

5. Dungeons and Co-op Play

Once you complete the story, start running dungeons. These are your main source of equipment and upgrade materials. While solo play is possible, it’s highly recommended to team up with real players for better rewards. Dungeons scale in difficulty, and group runs offer special loot unavailable to solo players.

The world is dense: misty ruins, spirit forests, secret houses—you’ll find rewards tucked away everywhere. Exploration is deep and sometimes required team mechanics.

Some chests require keys or specific skills (a hammer or another tool) to open; other times you’ll need to light, freeze, or move objects in the correct order.

Certain puzzles need specific skills or combinations (burn, freeze, grapple). If you can’t solve a puzzle solo, it’s common to wait or leech someone else’s progress in the open world. There are hidden mini-games and quests not shown on the map—talk to NPCs and check interiors to find extra content.

6. Skills and Allies

Sword of Justice allows players to learn some skills from other classes later in the game. You’ll unlock this feature as you progress and complete certain side quests. The game also features a Gacha Ally System, where allies from the story can join your battles. They grant special abilities such as healing or offensive ultimates and can be enhanced by collecting duplicates.

7. Exploration and Hidden Quests

The open world is packed with secrets, puzzles, and collectibles. Some areas require using elemental abilities like fire or water to unlock hidden chests.
You’ll also find side quests that aren’t marked on the map — talk to NPCs frequently to uncover them. Completing these rewards you with unique gear and EXP.

8. Flying and Travel

Flying unlocks right at the start. Just sprint, then jump to glide across the map. The stamina gauge determines your flight distance, and timing your jumps correctly extends your flight duration. You can also unlock teleportation points for fast travel between major areas — always activate them whenever you enter a new region.

9. PvP, Guilds, and Free-to-Play Elements

Sword of Justice includes multiple PvP modes: 3v3, 12v12, and massive 60v60 guild wars. Most PvP content is balanced, meaning your stats won’t automatically make you unbeatable. The game is free-to-play friendly. While there’s a Gacha element for allies and cosmetics, most essential gameplay items can be earned through regular play.

Sword of Justice blends deep story, rich exploration, and layered systems that reward players who learn the basics early. Focus on the main quests, pick a class that fits your playstyle, and lean on group content for the best rewards. Cosmetics are mostly visual, teleport points are essential, and the open world hides many puzzles that need the right skills to solve. Keep experimenting, ask in community channels when you’re stuck, and most importantly—play the class and content that keeps the game fun for you. See you in the red-skyed world, and good luck building your legend.
