Wanted DAWN controls let you navigate the Grand Line, chain melee combos, and activate advanced Haki abilities on PC. Developed by Retro Development Games on Roblox, the game uses standard keyboard and mouse bindings alongside specific key combinations for specialized techniques like Soru and flight.
Core Movement and Interface Controls
Basic navigation and interface navigation rely on standard movement keys paired with dedicated menu shortcuts.
| Action | Keybind | Notes |

| Movement | W / A / S / D | Standard directional movement |
| Sprint / Run | Double-Tap W | Toggles running speed |
| Jump | Space | Standard jump |
| Crouch | Left Ctrl | Lowers character stance |
| Dash | Q + W / A / S / D | Directional dodge or dash |
| Drop Item | E | Drops currently held item |
| Spit | X | Social action |

Combat and Melee Controls
Combat in Wanted: DAWN revolves around light attack chains, defensive timing, and guard breaks.
| Combat Action | Primary Keybind | Alternate / Variant Binding | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light Attack | M1 (Left Mouse Button) | M1 | Basic attack strike; builds combo strings |
| Feint | M2 (Right Mouse Button) | M2 (Parry in legacy notes) | Cancels or feints an incoming swing |
| Parry / Block | F | M2 (Older group notes) | Deflects enemy strikes; blocks damage |
| Heavy Attack / Critical | R | R | Slower strike that deals heavy impact |
| Uppercut | Left Ctrl + M1 | Left Ctrl + M1 | Launches the target upward into the air |
| Grip Downed Player | B | B | Executes or grips an incapacitated enemy |
| Carry Player | N | N | Picks up a knocked-down player |
Official sources present slight variations between updates: the active Roblox experience page lists F as Parry and M2 as Feint, while older Retro Development Games community listings previously mapped M2 to Parry and F to Block. In combat, testing F versus M2 will quickly clarify your active server configuration.
Haki Keybinds
Haki powers enhance your offensive output and spatial awareness once unlocked. Each Haki type requires reaching specific training milestones, such as completing Rayleigh's minigame on Rayleigh Island or discovering a spawned Poneglyph.
| Haki Ability | Keybind | In-Game Function |
|---|---|---|
| Buso Haki (Armament) | H | Coats weapons or limbs to boost damage and damage reduction |
| Ken Haki (Observation) | J | Reveals player outlines through obstacles and walls |
| Conqueror's Coating | K | Imbues attacks with Conqueror's Haki for higher damage and mitigation |
| Conqueror's Burst | L | Emits an intimidating shockwave that slows down opponents |
Every 0.5 Haki tier extends active skill duration. While Buso Haki is toggled on, consecutive M1 attacks build toward triggering a Haki Burst for bonus impact damage.
Unlocked Mobility and Racial Techniques
Certain movement abilities remain locked until you purchase them from mentors or unlock specific racial traits.
| Technique | Requirement | Keybind | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soru (Flash Step) | 300,000 Cash at Rocky Lands | E + Q (Hold E and Dash) | High-speed directional teleport step |
| Geppo (Sky Jump) | 300,000 Cash at Sky Islands | Double-Tap Space | Mid-air jump enabling vertical traversal |
| Racial Flight | Lunarian, Skypiean, or Dragonoid | Ctrl + F (or Shift + F) | Activates timed flight (speeds and durations vary by race) |
Skypieans travel at speed 75 for 12 seconds with a 40-second cooldown, Lunarians fly at speed 85 for 12 seconds with a 40-second cooldown, and Dragonoids fly at speed 70 for 10 seconds with a 40-second cooldown.
