Basic Movement Controls

Walking and Sprinting

Mastering movement is fundamental to survival in Jujutsu Zero. The basic WASD controls will feel familiar to any Roblox player, but the sprinting mechanic adds an extra layer of depth.

To sprint, simply press W twice in quick succession. This increases your movement speed significantly and automatically triggers parkour animations when you encounter obstacles. Your sprint speed scales with your current health – the more damage you’ve taken, the slower you’ll move, so maintaining your health is crucial for mobility.

Advanced Movement Mechanics

Parkour System: When sprinting toward obstacles, your character automatically performs context-sensitive actions:

Vaulting: For low obstacles like tables and barriers
Mantling: For elevated walls and ledges
Sliding: For slightly raised obstacles with gaps

Wall Climbing: Hold the jump button (Space) and look sideways against any vertical surface while moving toward it. You can wall bounce up to three times before needing to touch the ground again. This mechanic scales with character size – larger characters bounce farther.

Forward Rolling: When falling from significant height, trigger a jump right before hitting the ground to perform a forward roll. The distance scales with the fall height, helping you maintain momentum and avoid taking fall damage.

Combat Controls Deep Dive

Basic Attack System (M1)

Your primary offense comes from the M1 combo system. Here’s how it works:

Standard M1 Combo:

Hit 1-2: 3 damage each
Hit 3-4: 4 damage each
Total Combo: 14 damage
Endlag: 1.7 seconds after final hit

M1 Variations: The fourth hit changes based on your vertical movement:

Movement Type	Fourth Hit	Effect	Damage
Ground Level	Regular Punch	Knocks back, ragdolls	4
Moving Up	Uppercut	Launches enemy airborne	4
Moving Down	Downslam	Grounds enemy, unblockable	4

Blocking Mechanics

Press F to enter a defensive stance. Blocking reduces incoming damage and prevents stun but slows your movement and disables attacks. Key points about blocking:

Effective Angle: ~140 degrees in front of your character
Some moves cannot be blocked at all
Certain attacks deal reduced damage when blocked
Rare moves actually deal MORE damage when blocked

Always face your opponent when blocking to maximize effectiveness!

Dash System Mastery

The dash mechanic in Jujutsu Zero is incredibly versatile with three distinct types:

Front Dash:

Trigger: Dash forward while walking forward
Effect: Punch at the end of dash
Damage: 4 damage if it connects
Cooldown: 6 seconds
Risk: High endlag if blocked

Side Dash:

Trigger: Dash in any direction except forward
Effect: Quick step with no endlag
Cooldown: 2 seconds
Advantage: Can be chained with attacks

Ragdoll Cancel Dash:

Trigger: When knocked down (white bar appears)
Effect: Instant recovery from ragdoll state
Cooldown: Refreshes by dealing damage or taking specific damage amounts
Strategic Use: Save for crucial moments as it’s hard to regain

Evasive Dash:

Trigger: Hit by 2+ enemies within 1.75 seconds
Effect: Free dash even during stun/grab moves
Bonus: Heals 10 HP and refills ragdoll cancel bar
Tactical: Can be spammed during grab moves

Advanced Combat Techniques

Black Flash Execution

Black Flash is one of the most powerful techniques in Jujutsu Zero, but it requires precise timing and stat investment:

Prerequisites:

Unlock Focus Awaken node in Focus skill tree (2 Stat Points)
This grants 3 Focus Tokens
Fill your Focus Bar (blue bar above HP) through combat

Execution:

Ensure you have at least 2 Focus segments filled
Press Right Mouse Button (RMB) to trigger the prompt
Immediately press R (Heavy Punch) for regular Black Flash
For skill-based Black Flashes, press the corresponding skill key instead of R

Pro Tips:

Any skill highlighted in red can be cast as Black Flash
Failed Black Flash attempts don’t consume Focus
Practice timing in safe environments before using in combat

Chant Skills System

Chanting amplifies your Cursed Technique skills significantly:

Requirements:

Chanting node in Technique skill tree
Focus Awaken node in Focus skill tree
Total Cost: 65 Stat Points

How to Chant:

Ensure both prerequisites are unlocked
Fill your Focus Bar through combat
Press RMB followed by the skill keybind
Skills that can be chanted appear purple in your skill list

Strategic Considerations:

Chanted skills deal significantly more damage
Use Focus management efficiently
Save chanting for crucial moments or tough enemies

Climbing and Flying Mechanics

Unlike many Roblox games, Jujutsu Zero doesn’t have a dedicated climb button. Instead, you’ll combine movement skills for vertical mobility:

Basic Flight Technique:

Look up at a 45-90 degree angle
Press E (Super Dash) to launch upward
At the apex of your jump, press Q (Dash) for additional airtime
Look up again and press E to continue climbing
Repeat the sequence to gain altitude

Advanced Tips:

The Strength Awaken node allows double Q dashes
Rush Mastery enables holding E for channeling
Timing is crucial – use Q at the perfect moment to maximize airtime
Practice in open areas before attempting in combat

Skill Management and Hotkeys

Your skill hotbar is your arsenal of Cursed Techniques. Here’s the optimal setup:

Primary Skills (Z, X, C, V):

Z: Most frequently used skill
X: Secondary damage skill
C: Utility or mobility skill
V: Ultimate or high-cost skill

Additional Skills (B, G, T, Y):

B: Often tied to emote wheel or special ability
G: Defensive or counter skill
T: Tactical or situational skill
Y: Ultimate transformation or awakening

Pro Management Tips:

Rebind skills based on your playstyle
Keep frequently used skills on easily accessible keys
Consider hand comfort for extended gaming sessions

Common Control Mistakes to Avoid In 2026

Beginner Errors

Mistake 1: Ignoring Movement Lock Many players forget about Ctrl (Move Lock), which is crucial for precise positioning during skill execution.

Solution: Practice using Move Lock to maintain position while casting skills that require stationary casting.

Mistake 2: Inefficient Dashing New players often waste dashes or use the wrong type for situations.

Solution: Learn the difference between dash types and use them strategically – Front Dash for aggression, Side Dash for evasion.

Mistake 3: Poor Skill Management Using skills randomly without considering cooldowns or Focus requirements.

Solution: Develop a rotation and understand your skill priorities. Save high-cost skills for crucial moments.

Advanced Player Pitfalls

Mistake 1: Over-reliance on Black Flash Experienced players sometimes become too predictable with Black Flash attempts.

Solution: Mix up your approach and use Black Flash as a surprise element rather than your primary strategy.

Mistake 2: Neglecting Movement Options Focusing only on combat without utilizing advanced movement like wall climbing or flight.

Solution: Integrate movement techniques into your combat style for superior positioning and escape options.
