Ultimate Heian Beginner’s Guide

Starting out in Heian, a Jujutsu Kaisen-inspired Roblox game, is no easy feat. The game explains nothing and throws you into the harsh world to figure everything out yourself. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I passed all the trials and tribulations and figured out the best tips and tricks so you don't have to. Follow along with my Heian Beginners Guide to find out what mistakes you can avoid and what the best ways to go about your journey are.

Heian Beginner Tips & Tricks

Here are a few things I learned in Heian along the way that would have made the start of my journey much smoother if I had known them earlier.

What TO do

• Gather herbs and collectables you see on the ground
• Talk to all NPCs you see
• Go into houses and buildings, you never know what might be inside
• Walk up to all the Rune Stones and activate them for easy teleportation
• Try out fighting moves on Practice Dummies

What NOT to do

• Do not attack other players, as they will fight back
• Do not skip NPCs and questlines, as the rewards are amazing
• Do not fight Cursed Spirits until you have a way to beat them
• Do not travel too far before completing quests in your current area, or you can get lost

Keyboard Controls in Heian

Controls in Heian are fairly straightforward, but there are some things that players cannot figure out on their own at the beginning. For example, you should click TAB to open your inventory, access the Skill Point menu, and see your active quests. Fortunately, these commands can be changed and personalized by navigating to the In-Game Settings tab, located at the top-left side of the screen. Here are the default basic Commands:

• Basic Attack: Mouse 1 (Left Click)
• Critical: R
• Carry: V
• Charge: C
• Block: F
• Dodge: Q
• Execute: B
• Command: ; (not recommended for new players)
• Domain: J
• Reverse Cursed Technique: G (this is a heal)
• Menu: TAB

Cursed Techniques in Heian

Cursed Techniques in Heian are very strong abilities that can fully change your playstyle. They use Cursed Energy and are the best way to fight in the game. You can get Cursed Techniques by completing questlines that you receive from CT Trainers and finding rare items. To see more detailed information, check out my Heian Cursed Techniques Tier List and Guide. Here are the best beginner's tips for Cursed Techniques in Heian:

• Cursed Techniques are unique abilities that enhance your fighting style
• They are unlocked by completing questlines given by CT Trainers and finding specific items
• Cursed Techniques use Cursed Energy to function
• They allow you to cast close and long-range abilities for easier gameplay
• Upgrade your Cursed Energy and Cursed Output to increase the damage of your CT

Weapons in Heian

The Weapons in Heian are acquired in a few different ways. You can craft them, you can get them as a drop from defeated enemies, or you can get them as a quest reward. Strong enemies drop some of the best Weapons in the game, so getting strong and trying your hardest to kill them is the best way to go. Here are the best beginner's tips for Weapons in Heian:

• Weapons can be crafted, dropped by enemies, and acquired from quests
• Strong enemies have a chance to drop good Weapons
• Bosses/Unique Enemies sometimes guarantee a very strong weapon
• Collect all resources you come across, as you might need them to craft the weapon you want

Clothes & Armor in Heian

Unfortunately, Clothes and Armor in Heian are purely cosmetic for now and serve no actual gameplay function. Clothes and Armors can be crafted or dropped from defeated enemies, but they can also be acquired from specific questlines. Here are the best beginner's tips for Clothes and Armor in Heian:

• Armor and Clothes do NOT give you any defense or stats
• They can be crafted, looted from dead enemies, or acquired from Quests
• There are Clothes and Armor pieces for each individual part of your body

Items & Consumables in Heian

Items and Consumables in Heian are usually dropped by enemies or harvested from the ground. They can be used to heal, reroll stats, and progress specific questlines. There are item rarities ranging from Common to Legendary, and the latter is much harder to get. Some Legendary Items are guaranteed drops from quests or defeating bosses. Here are the best beginner's tips for Items and Consumables in Heian:

• Collect EVERYTHING you see (except all flowers, you don't need them that much)
• Go to Merchants in cities to buy potions and consumables
• Defeat strong enemies to find rarer items

Enemies in Heian

Enemies in Heian come in all shapes and sizes, sometimes even in the shape of another player. Cursed Spirits are your main enemies, but sometimes, other players may try to kill you as well, so be careful out there. You gain almost nothing for killing other players, but some do it just for fun. Cursed Spirits are strong, have chain-stun moves, and can teleport or jump to you from far away. It is recommended to get a Cursed Technique before fighting them, or at least a good weapon. Here are the best beginner's tips for Enemies in Heian:

• If you just started and do not have a Cursed Technique, run from Cursed Spirits
• If a player is running at you at full speed, be prepared for a fight
• Enemies can be stunned, but they can also stun you back
• Enemies have a chance to drop valuable items

Clans in Heian

Contrary to popular belief, Clans in Heian do not actually give you any stats or bonuses. Clans are purely cosmetic and determine the color of your hair. There are rare Clans, such as the Gojo and Ryomen clans, which have White and Red hair, so you are more commonly gonna see players with Black, Brown, or Blonde hair. The only exception is the Gojo and Michizane clans, which give you access to Limitless. You can view more information about these Clans in my Heian Clans List and Guide. Here are the best beginner's tips for Clans in Heian:

• Clans do not give you any stats or buffs, they just change your hair color
• You can reroll Clans by wiping your save file and creating a new character
• You can change your Hair Shape at the barber in Kirishima Village

Stats and Skill Points in Heian

While you play Heian, you will level up and receive Skill Points. You can spend those points on Stats or Mastery Levels. Stats give you raw, flat buffs, while Mastery Levels help you with Weapons and Cursed Techniques. Here are the best beginner's tips for Stats and Skill Points in Heian:

• Agility: Increases wall-climbing skills
• Vitality: Increases your maximum health
• Strength: Buffs the damage of strength-based weapons
• Cursed Energy: Increases your Cursed Energy and slightly boosts Cursed Technique damage
• Cursed Output: Increases Cursed Technique damage, slightly increases Cursed Energy used
• Light, Medium, and Heavy Mastery: Boosts their corresponding weapon type’s damage

Rune Stones in Heian

Rune Stones in Heian serve as a means of teleportation between villages. To activate them, simply approach and interact with them. After you do that, the specific Rune Stone will be registered, and you will be able to teleport to it from other Rune Stones. Here are the best beginner's tips for Rune Stones in Heian:

• Activate EVERY Rune Stone you see
• When you are close to a new Rune Stone, you will get a notification and a marker
• After activating it, simply interact with it again to select where you want to teleport
• Rune Stones are located outside of every village and major location
• Rune Stones do not have a cooldown when being used, so you can teleport without worrying
