[LEVEL ONE]

A short guide on how to use a weapon with another weapon's animation.

1. Get a weapon
2. Get another weapon with a different attack animation than the first weapon
3. Make sure "Tap To Move" is enabled under game options
4. Equip the first weapon
5. Tap somewhere so your character walks for a while
6. Equip the other weapon while your character is still moving
7. Do not stop moving

Ta-da! Now you can wield any weapon with a different animation.

Tip 1: Use quick loadout shortcuts for easier weapon changes
Tip 2: Attack for extra fun

There are a lot of different animations (idle, bow, 1h melee, 2h melee, melee staff, magic staff, dual daggers, throwing weapon etc.), so there are a lot of combinations to try out!
