Current creator guides use Strike, Glaive and Cleave for the three Primary Forms. Pair one with Crush, Drill or Extend and test the combination in the Gap. Older previews used Flurry, Slash and Slice; the table now follows the September 22 recordings.
These names appear in the September 22 creator coverage. Cleave is also visible in Ebontis’s upgrade menu at 15:32. In Gamer Guides’ September 22 recording, Cleave’s card in the Primary Forms menu describes a wide attack that can hit multiple enemies at once and push them away. We have not measured comparative damage or declared a strongest starting weapon.
On screen: Between combat shots, the Aberrant's Primary Forms tab shows three form trees side by side; the third, Cleave, is selected and its card describes a wide attack that hits several enemies and pushes them away, with damage and an Unlock button.
Try the attack pattern in the Gap’s arena. Boomstick Gaming demonstrates refunding recent unlocks with Exchange Recents before leaving. A later full reset is a different action; see the upgrades guide.
Choose the ordinary attack pattern you can control comfortably.
Identify one gap: groups, reach, or sustained damage.
Try a secondary option that addresses that gap, then compare it in a similar encounter.
Watch whether the longer sequence leaves you exposed. Shorten your routine when you cannot safely finish it.
Compare a recent unlock in the arena, then inspect Exchange Recents before committing.
Published September 22, 2026. Timestamped English captions and chapter boundaries reviewed, with selected frames inspected. Early gameplay and system screens may reveal abilities. This is attributed creator guidance, not a Kingy gameplay test or a complete frame-by-frame review. Later patches can change behaviour. Patch note: PC 1.3.3 changes combat balance, strength scaling and respec costs; use the current written guide for those claims.
Remedy says Resonant has no ranged weapons. Some supernatural abilities attack at range, and melee forms vary in reach. Extend is not a firearm, and the original Service Weapon’s upgrade paths should not be used for this game.
Remedy introduces the Aberrant and movement through gravity-distorted spaces.
