Basic Controls

• Kick the Ball – Left-click
• Tackle/Steal – F (when near an opponent)
• Dribble – Q (while holding the ball)
• Direct Shot – X

• Successful tackles (15% meter)
• Assists (20% meter)
• Saves/blocks (10% meter)
• Perfect passes (5% meter)

2. Flow State Management

Your Flow State (T key) provides temporary boosts but drains quickly. Pro tips:

• Activate during counterattacks for maximum impact
• Save it for crucial moments, not random plays
• Different styles have unique Flow benefits

3. Custom Keybind Setup

Many pros rebind controls for better accessibility:

• Move Dash to Mouse Button 4/5
• Set Direct Shot to E for quicker access
• Bind Awakening to a more convenient key

4. Team Composition Meta

The current meta favors:

• 2 Strikers (Barou/Shidou)
• 2 Midfielders (Isagi/Bachira)
• 1 Defender/Goalkeeper (Gagamaru)

5. Shot Timing Secrets

Perfect shot timing increases goal probability by 40%:

• Release shot at the peak of your jump for volleys
• Curve shots are most effective from 30-45 degree angles
• Direct shots work best within the penalty box

Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid

1. Ignoring Stamina Management – Spamming abilities drains stamina fast
2. Ball Hogging – Goalbound rewards team play with faster meter buildup
3. Neglecting Defense – Even strikers need to track back
4. Wasting Lucky Spins – Save them for new character releases
5. Skipping Custom Controls – Default bindings aren’t optimal
