How to Equip Items

Similar to other battle-related features, you can edit your items in the [Battle Preparation] screen before a game. To do so, go into [Battle Preparation] and head to the bottom tab that says [Portable Items]. There you can pick and choose which items to bring with you in battle. You can only switch your items in the Battle Preparation screen. You cannot do it during a battle.

How to Use Items

The [Item Bar] can be found right above your Wanderer’s HP bar on the bottom left of the screen. Each item has a set amount of uses, and you can either press [Z] on your keyboard or [UP] on your controller to activate the currently chosen item. You can switch between items by scrolling with your mouse or by pressing 1 through 4 on PC. For controllers, you can switch items by using the left and right directional buttons.
