Beginner's Guide: Start Here!

Welcome to the +R wiki! As a beginner, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the vast amount of information and content here. However, we recommend you start with the very basics before delving into the most advanced parts of the mechanics and system.

101 (Introductory)

Serving as a small crash course, ala Guilty Gear 101, the first pages you should read are:

The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) -- The Heads Up Display (HUD) -- The Controls

The FAQ contains a short guide for getting into +R. It covers only a taste of what +R offers, a brief character overview, and some tips on how to navigate through the game itself.

102 (Intermediate)

Once you've played some matches and gotten a feel for the game, it's recommended to go through the rest of the pages, particularly:

Movement -- Offense -- Defense -- Gauges

These pages expand on many of the topics in Controls, as well as into a few more intermediate and advanced topics.

103 (Advanced)

This section is under construction, but many of the character pages have more in-depth looks at how their moves work, how to play them, combos, strategy, and matchups. All of these pages are still under construction, but have bits of information to give you a bit of start. Also, check the pages:

Misc
Damage -- Frame Data

The Legacy Guide

Note: an older guide which refers mainly to Accent Core can be found here. While there are few mechanics differences between AC and +R, they are mostly minor and aren't particularly important to distinguish as a beginner. What matters starting out is that you strike a balance between enjoying playing the game, and taking in pieces of it in moderation.

If you have additional questions, you can join the Discord, which is full of knowledgeable and experienced players available to answer questions not found in the guides here.
