How these guides guides fit together
First-match preparation and understanding the whole round are related but different jobs. The beginner guide gives you an opening priority: create a simple vessel, recognize mist work and prepare a route. The how-to-play guide explains why the two sides compete around the same clock. Neither requires a perfect cosmetic design before you can start learning.
Map orientation and control context then make the plan usable. Learn where the route in front of you leads instead of importing a fixed exit coordinate from another match. If an ability uses target selection, read the targeting reference for that action rather than treating one button as a complete device control map.

A question about guides
Do I need a finished custom character before playing?
No. Start with a preset or simple vessel, then refine the appearance after learning a round. Ability choices are a separate gameplay decision.
