The Veil Controls – PC Key Bindings and Run-Key Conflict
The Veil PC controls for movement, interaction, weaving, dash, and quick actions, with the current run-key conflict clearly marked.
Quick answer: On PC, the core The Veil controls are W/A/S/D to move, E to interact, and F to weave. Find the action you need in the table below — most bindings are consistent across current references, and the few that are not are flagged so you can confirm them on your own on-screen prompt.

Run/sprint inconsistency: the run binding is currently documented two different ways — double-tap W to run, or Left Shift to sprint. Neither can be treated as settled for the live client. If your run input doesn't respond, check the on-screen prompt or the settings menu in-game before relying on either key.
Core inputs in practice
- Movement: W/A/S/D — consistent across reviewed community guides.
- Interaction: E — appears as the interact prompt for NPCs and objects like pylons.
- Weave: F — confirmed against gameplay evidence; pressing F weaves, the core defensive/combat timing mechanic.
- Dash: Q, Aura: C, Quick heal: H, Quick buff: B — listed in the community controls table.
Weave input in combat
Press F to weave. This page only identifies the input; timing, stacks, and combat effects belong in the weaving mechanic guide.
Device coverage and verifying bindings in-game
The Veil supports PC, mobile, and controller per the game's current listing, but only PC key bindings are documented here. Mobile and controller mappings are not verified — don't assume them, and check the current on-screen prompt for your device instead. For any binding in doubt, the live prompt should take priority over this table.
