Frequently Asked Questions
General
How do I dash/dodge?
To dash, you can press the Q and E buttons to quickly dash to the left or right of your character. Alternatively, you can double tap any of the movement buttons (W, A, S, and D) to dash in the direction the buttons move you in. It's highly recommended to dash in first person or shift lock, as these allow you to be sure of where you're dashing.
How do I use skills?
To use a skill, first make sure you are a high enough level. Tier 1 skills require level 25, and Tier 2 skills require level 50. Upon first reaching the required level. Press Z to activate your Tier 1 skill, and X to activate your Tier 2 skill.
How do I get stronger weapons?
To get new weapons, you'll first have to press the big arrow at the top of the screen labelled 'Gear', then click weapons, then you can buy weapons if you have enough points. After buying a weapon, click the weapon again to equip it. Remember, you can scroll down to see more weapons.
What do Mysteliates do?
Mysteliates are useful creatures that can assist you in battle. Each has a minimum level requirement, and like weapons, will scale its effectiveness based on your level. Up to 3 may be equipped at a time. Their effects vary, with effects like AoE attacks, slowing enemies, and healing you. For more information, visit the full page here.
What can I do to overcome a strong boss? I keep trying but I'm constantly dying!
Having trouble on a boss is normal. The first thing you'll want to do is examine what the warning for each attack is, as knowing what attack a boss will use is crucial to survival. Additionally, viewing how other players handle attacks may help you understand how to dodge an attack better. Lastly, try and detect if there's any odd or surprising mechanics and how to counter them, such as Spring FOE's defence mechanic, which require his sentinel minions to be killed, or Crisis SpringWrath's petal blast attack, which requires the player to dash.
Why do my points and weapons not save?
Points and weapons don't save because how fun would it be if you just one-shot every enemy in the first two chapters? It makes for boring gameplay. Alongside this, many non-canon chapters are balanced and designed with starter weapons in mind. Additionally, you gain points depending on the chapter you joined, so you'll be able to buy weapons and mysteliates appropriate for that chapter.
I just joined the game. Why am I stuck in the lobby?
BFS operates on a lives system. Each player has 7 lives. When all lives of all players run out, the chapter restarts. You'll be transported into the game once lives refill at certain points. The reason why you aren't just teleported into the game when you join is to make it a challenge for the players already playing. There would be no risk if someone could just rejoin to save a fight.
Why is the first boss I fight so difficult? I'm doing 1-digit damage to a 6-digit boss!
When you join a server, you may be joining a server that has already been progressed to a later chapter. If the boss seems overly difficult, you probably joined in a later chapter. I really doubt anyone has struggled with Lord of the Shadows.
Why do I have to leave the game to change classes?
So exploiters cannot change your level. As the way it is, your level cannot go down. Even when FilteringEnabled is enabled, exploiters can still find a way to hack your stats. If there was an in-game class change option, class level would have to be able to be lowered.
How do I become a champion?
Champion status is only for the most elite BFS players. In order to attain it, you must complete a ridiculously difficult task and prove your skill. This will be overseen by Super, and is generally done in the game Boss Rush.
Ultimately, it's SupernalNine's decision on whether or not you're worthy of becoming a champion. Champion requirements may get crazier and more difficult as time progresses.
How do I save my skins, boss points, etc?
Saving is automatic. When you leave the game, it saves, so no need to worry about crashing.
I HAVE A NEW CLASS IDEA IT'S CALLED NUKER AND IT'S REALLY OP CAN SUPER PLEASE ADD THAT CLASS AND MORE CLASSES TO BFS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE???!!?!!!?!
No.
No new classes will be added to BFS. This is why:
1. It does not fit with the planned lore, meaning that if a new class were to be added, Super would have to go back to all the decals and locations in the plot where classes are mentioned and add the new one in.
2. Fan-made classes are almost always unbalanced and may make other classes obsolete.
3. Super doesn't have the time or tools necessary to make complex classes.
4. If a new class is implemented, other people will think that their classes will get in too, and Super will be flooded with annoying messages about how there should be completely OP classes. It will turn BFS into what Devil Beater has become, with only a few classes ever being used, and most of the other ones becoming obsolete and forgotten.
What are Boss Points and what do they do?
Boss Points are a currency obtained each time the game is beaten. They can be used to buy skins from the in-game Gamepass/Purchases menu. Checks the skins page for more information.
Do skins give any gameplay advantage?
No.
How do I buy and equip a skin?
To buy a skin, first, go to the Gamepass/Purchases tab of the in-game menu. Scroll down to the skin you want to buy, then double click the (x)BP button above it, but be warned that you'll lose BP if you do this. Alternatively, you can buy skins for Robux as gamepasses. Double clicking the skin icon afterwards will equip it, but you'll have to equip a new weapon or re-equip your current weapon for it to appear. Keep in mind that some skins are only for one weapon, some skins are for only a few of the weapons, and some skins override all weapons. Additionally, some skins are only for a particular class. You won't be able to use Sliceadon on a Baller.
I bought my skin for Robux and it won't let me use it, is it broken?
After buying a skin with Robux, you may not be able to use it instantly, as attempting to equip the skin will bring up a popup notifying that the product has already been purchased. Don't worry, this is only a temporary problem and should fix itself after some time. If not, there may be a bug- in which case, try to report it in the discord.
What is a rebirth?
A rebirth is when a player reaches master level 400 and willingly sacrifices all of their levels to obtain a rebirth point. Rebirth points can be used to buy various skin sets, or for certain mysteliates. Rebirth points additionally don't vanish when used, so a player can buy rebirth skins and mysts without penalty.
How do I rebirth?
To get the option to rebirth, all four classes have to be level 100 (master level 400), then a button will appear in the bottom right corner, having "R's" as the text. The button gives many warnings before actually making you rebirth, so you'll have to press it large number of times in a short time frame.
Are my rebirths consumed?
Nope - rebirths are not used when buying rebirth skins or mysteliates. Think of these more like rebirth requirements than costs.

Do I lose Force Power when buying the DAL skins?
Like with rebirths, these are requirements rather than costs. You'll keep your Force Levels when buying the skins.
