TL;DR
Quick answer: what to set before anything else
If you only change a handful of settings, change these. Each row is sourced from the launch-week guides listed in the ledger; exact toggle names may differ slightly in your client version.
| Scenario | Set this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PC · mid/high-end | Frame Generation ON · frame cap at your monitor's refresh · ray tracing only on capable GPUs | The launch-day guide's first advice for PC players is enabling frame generation; the PC client supports ray tracing with DLSS 4.5 multi-frame generation. |
| PC · low-end / laptop | Overall quality one step down · effects on Smart/Medium · frame generation ON | The official recommended spec (i7-12700 / 32 GB / RTX 3070 Ti class) is steep; below it, quality and effect sliders buy back the most frames. |
| Mobile | Prioritize smoothness over visuals · other-player effects Medium/Low · lower co-displayed player count | Community reports say the mobile build is frame-capped and heats up under load; cutting co-displayed effects is the cheapest win. |
| GVG · 100/1000-player battles | Performance Mode ON · co-display Enemy-first (DPS) or Ally-first (healer) · other-player effects Low | Performance Mode exists specifically for mass battles — it unifies global effects and even other players' models to keep large fights smooth. |
Graphics tab
Graphics settings, one by one
Everything below comes from the GamerSky settings walkthrough (verified community source, fetched 2026-09-11). Toggle names follow that guide's in-game screenshots; treat them as pending verification against your own client.
| Setting | What it does | Suggested use |
|---|---|---|
| Overall graphics | Master quality presets. Whether the cinematic / IMAX display mode is available depends on your hardware. | Start one step below maximum, then raise it until the game stutters — the guide's own advice is simply 'smooth is good enough'. |
| Ray tracing quality | Ray tracing quality plus several detail sliders; the effect can be previewed before applying. | A PC-only luxury. Keep it off unless your GPU clears the official RTX 3070 Ti-class bar. |
| Frame generation | AI-generated intermediate frames. NVIDIA's launch coverage credits the PC client with DLSS 4.5 multi-frame generation. | The launch-day guide's first PC recommendation: turn it on. Whether a mobile equivalent exists is pending verification. |
| Frame rate cap | Adjustable frame rate ceiling, scaled to your device. | PC: match your monitor. Mobile: community reports conflict on the cap (45 vs 60 fps) — see pending verification. |
| Screen filter | A global color filter with per-style previews — meant for switching mood in screenshots. | Cosmetic and free. Pick one for photo sessions, leave default for play. |
| Co-displayed players (0–100) | Caps how many other player models render on screen at once. | 0 buys single-player immersion (and frames) in cities and story; 100 is for hundred- and thousand-player battlefields. |
| Co-display priority | When on-screen players exceed the cap, choose who stays visible: Smart, Ally-first, or Enemy-first. | Healers: Ally-first. DPS: Enemy-first (the launch-day guide agrees). Smart works if you don't want to think about it. |
| Effect quality / strength · Performance Mode | Controls how stacked multi-player effects impact smoothness. Performance Mode unifies global effects — and even other players' models — during GVG mass battles. | Leave it on Smart if unsure. Flip Performance Mode on before any hundred-player fight. |
Combat tab
Combat settings, one by one
These don't change damage numbers, but they change how the game feels — and several defaults are worth turning off on day one.
| Setting | What it does | Suggested use |
|---|---|---|
| Target lock priority | Tab/auto-lock order: Nearest first, Camera-center first, or Lowest-HP first. Mouse click always overrides. | Camera-center fits most fights; Nearest for duo content like Utopia Theater; Lowest-HP when grinding mob packs in modes like Terminal Hunt. |
| Camera turns to locked target | On lock, the camera auto-rotates to center the target — even behind you. | The launch-day guide turns this OFF for a stable view; keep it if you lose track of targets. |
| Skill screen shake | Screen shake intensity when certain skills land, for impact feel. | Comfort setting. The launch-day guide disables it entirely. |
| Move into range to cast | Pressing a skill first walks you into cast range, then casts. Healers get the same logic toward allies. Off = cast in place, with a chance to whiff. | Keep ON while learning; experienced players turn it off for full manual positioning. |
| Basic attack fills cooldowns | If you press a skill that's on cooldown, a basic attack fires instead — no dead air from mashing. | No downside found in sources; safe to leave ON. |
| Auto-battle mode | During one-tap auto battle: Move-priority stops casting to respond to movement (melee); Skill-priority keeps casting instant skills while moving (ranged). A separate toggle decides whether jump/dash interrupts auto-assist. | Move-priority for melee, Skill-priority for ranged; allow dash-interrupt so dodges never break your flow. |
| Combat assist overlays | Lock indicator dot/box/line, distance readout, enemy aggro lines, and an off-screen target direction marker. | Tanks: enable enemy aggro lines for dungeons. The launch-day guide hides lock lines for a cleaner screen — pick per taste. |
Camera tab
Camera & view settings
Classic vs action controls, mouse-hover casting, and the story camera. One option here is officially-not-quite-ready — see hover-position casting.
| Setting | What it does | Suggested use |
|---|---|---|
| Operation mode (Classic / Action) | Switches between classic MMO controls and action mode. In action mode the mouse cursor hides; the default Left Alt shows it. | Classic suits most MMO players; action mode has its own lock-on branch settings (crosshair candidates, click-to-lock). |
| Mouse-hover casting | Three toggles: hover-select skill targets, hover-select skill positions, and smart hover (non-healers stop highlighting allies, healers stop highlighting enemies). | Hover-target + smart hover: recommended, especially for healers. Hover-position: the walkthrough advises leaving it OFF — it's a global toggle that hijacks every skill's aim, auto-battle included. |
| Combat camera correction | If your locked target leaves the screen, the camera auto-turns to bring it back after a short delay. | The launch-day guide turns this off together with camera-turn-to-lock for a fully manual view. |
| Story mode | Auto-switches to a cinematic camera during main/side/lore story. A sub-option hides exaggerated cosmetics (wings, shoulder pieces) in cutscenes. | Keep dynamic story camera on; hide loud cosmetics if they break your immersion in serious scenes. |
Basics tab
Basic & interface settings
Not performance-related, but three of these remove daily friction — and one protects your account.
Display & pathfinding
Toggle overhead IDs for yourself, party members and other players (NPC names can't be hidden). The auto-pathfinding toggle disables quest auto-navigation entirely when off.
Interface adjustments
Dragging cursor size to 10 enables an extra-large 'elder mode'. Red-dot notifications can be silenced — but keep them on early so you don't miss upgrades and rewards.
HUD customization
All nine HUD blocks can be dragged, resized and made transparent. Every MMO veteran has their own layout — build yours before progression locks in muscle memory.
Game lock
A second password for critical actions. Prevents fat-finger disasters — and other people's mistakes if the account is ever shared.
Presets
Recommended configs by device
One preset per device class. Specs quoted are official store-page requirements; setting combos come from the verified community guides in the ledger.
PC · meets official spec
Official recommended: Windows 10 64-bit · i7-12700 / Ryzen 7 5000–7000+ · 32 GB RAM · RTX 3070 Ti / RX 6800+ · 90 GB free storage
Frame generation ON · frame cap at monitor refresh · ray tracing on with preview · overall quality max, step down if GVG dips · Performance Mode ready for mass battles.
PC · below spec / laptop
The official page lists one recommended spec only — no minimum — so treat anything below it as uncharted, not impossible.
Overall quality one to two steps down · ray tracing OFF · frame generation ON if offered · effects Smart/Medium · co-displayed players 20–40 · keep 90 GB free regardless.
Mobile · iOS / Android
Officially verified: iOS/iPadOS 15.0+, 2.2 GB store listing (v1.1.2). Android minimum specs are not published on the official pages checked — pending verification.
Choose smoothness over visuals · other-player effects Medium/Low · co-displayed players low in cities · expect a frame cap (community-reported, exact value pending) · watch heat on long sessions.
PC via Android emulator
MuMu's blog advertises smart frame insertion up to 240 fps, custom keymapping and multi-instance for this game.
A third-party path, not the official PC client: emulator frame numbers come from the vendor itself, anti-cheat and account-safety implications are yours to weigh. The official PC client remains the reference experience.
Troubleshooting
Performance problems, symptom by symptom
Ordered by how often launch-week players reported them. Fixes stay within official settings — no config-file hacks.
- 01
Phone heats up, then frames drop
The mobile build runs a custom UE5 rendering pipeline and community reporting ties heat to thermal throttling. Lower overall quality and effect strength first, drop co-displayed players, and shorten sessions. The publisher has publicly promised ongoing post-launch optimization.
- 02
Frame rate feels capped or low
PC: enable frame generation and set the cap to your monitor. Mobile: reports conflict — a TapTap news post's headline says a 60 fps cap while its body says 45 fps max. Check the cap your own client offers; the exact ceiling is pending verification.
- 03
Hundred/thousand-player battles stutter
This is the exact scenario Performance Mode was built for: it unifies global effects and even other players' models. Combine it with co-display Enemy-first/Ally-first and other-player effects on Low, per the GamerSky walkthrough.
- 04
Slow loading / not enough space
The official PC requirement reserves 90 GB of storage — keep that much free even after install, and prefer an SSD. On mobile, keep extra headroom for patch downloads beyond the 2.2 GB store listing.
Pending verification
Claims we could not confirm against the game client or two independent sources. Each is written as found, with its conflict intact — check in-game before treating any as fact.
01Exact mobile frame-rate cap
A TapTap news post (2026-09-05) headlined a 60 fps mobile cap, but its body states the max is 45 fps. Single source, internally inconsistent — pending an in-game screenshot or official note.
02Frame generation beyond PC
Community guides describe the frame-generation toggle in a PC context, and DLSS 4.5 coverage is PC-only. Whether mobile exposes any frame-generation option is unverified.
03Cinematic / IMAX mode hardware gate
The walkthrough notes availability 'depends on hardware' without listing a threshold. Which GPUs or phones unlock it is pending verification.
04Settings changes in v1.2 (2026-09-17)
The official preview announces new modes (Fool's Chess auto-battler, strategy-server GVG) but nothing about settings. Any toggle added, renamed or moved in v1.2 will be re-verified here after launch.

Q&A
Frequently asked questions
- Q1.Where do I open the settings menu?
- From the main interface: the top-right corner menu, or press ESC on PC, then choose Settings. The tabs cover basics, audio, graphics, combat, keybinds, camera and social.
- Q2.What is the maximum frame rate on mobile?
- Unconfirmed. A TapTap community report says the mobile build is frame-capped — but its headline says 60 fps while the body says 45 fps. The publisher has promised continued optimization after launch. Check the frame-rate options your own client offers and treat any fixed number as pending verification.
- Q3.My PC meets the spec but the game still stutters. What first?
- In order: enable frame generation, drop overall quality one step, set effect quality to Smart or Medium, and switch ray tracing off. If it only stutters in mass battles, that's what Performance Mode is for.
- Q4.How do I stop lag in hundred- or thousand-player battles?
- Turn Performance Mode on — it unifies global effects and even other players' models. Add co-display priority (Enemy-first for DPS, Ally-first for healers), other-player effects on Low, and tune the 0–100 co-displayed player cap to taste.
- Q5.Is 90 GB of storage really required?
- That's the official PC requirement on the TapTap store page, so reserve it. On mobile the App Store listing shows a 2.2 GB download (v1.1.2), but keep extra headroom for in-game patches and resources.
- Q6.Are emulator '240 fps' claims real?
- That figure comes from MuMu's own blog via smart frame insertion — vendor marketing for a third-party tool, not the official PC client. The official PC client with its native frame generation is the reference; weigh account-safety and anti-cheat implications before going the emulator route.
