There are separate menus for the store, equipping your character and changing basic settings, and the game does a horrible job of telling you what does what. So here are a few important keybinds you should learn to muscle memory if you plan to grind away.

While you can change your key binds at any time in The First Descendant‘s settings menu, knowing which ones do which and considering all the micromanaging of menus will save you a headache in the long run.
