Menu Flow Reminder
Turn start → select party member (if applicable) → choose command category → choose sub-action → confirm target → dodge phase when enemy attacks.
Cancel/back layers use on-screen back chevrons or Roblox defaults—do not alt-tab during dodge phases.
Printable Mindset
Memorize categories before submenus so you spend less time reading during live patterns.
Pair this reference with controls battle system page for conceptual understanding, not just keys.
Update personal notes after patches—menu order can shift.
Fight and Act Submenus
Deltarune Connected nests commands the way DELTARUNE players expect: Fight opens target selection and basic or special attacks; Act opens context options that change per enemy. On PC, highlight with arrows and confirm with click or Enter equivalent. On mobile, tap the large tile then tap targets quickly before turn timers expire if present.
Item and Mercy sit at the same menu tier—do not hunt for hidden fifth buttons unless patch notes document new UI. Mercy may gray out until ACT conditions succeed; that is intentional, not a bugged key binding.
When multiple party members are available, you choose the acting character before picking Fight/Act/Item/Mercy. Forgetting this layer causes "wrong character attacked" confusion—always verify the name banner before confirming.
Dodge Phase Input Discipline
During enemy turns, movement keys only affect the soul box—not overworld movement. If nothing moves, confirm you are in the dodge phase and not paused. Roblox overlay menus steal focus; close them before patterns spawn.
Diagonal inputs combine cleanly on keyboard; touch swipes may register diagonals accidentally—use short swipes on mobile for line patterns.
Practice each platform separately. Muscle memory from PC does not always transfer to thumb swipes; revisit this chart when switching devices mid-session.
Using This Reference During Online Windows
Because Deltarune Connected servers are often offline, pre-read this page before join attempts so online time goes to execution, not menu hunting. Screenshot the lists to your phone camera roll for quick glances during battles—no need for external overlay apps that risk moderation.
Combine with the battle key reference tool link from home modules and the master battle guide video (YouTube ID l4J9hVZ3ZCQ) to connect inputs with telegraphs you see on screen.
Report binding bugs to Viatrix community channels with keyboard layout locale (QWERTY vs AZERTY) if keys feel wrong—Roblox sometimes respects OS layout differently per platform.
