Hold a key. The macro attempts quick slots. Each slot chooses a usable skill.

These screenshots show the English game controls. The skills and delays are examples, not a recommended build.

1.Arrange your quick slots

In the skill settings, place your learned skills into quick slots and arrange their priority. A skill must be off cooldown and meet its conditions to be selected.

Each vertical column belongs to one quick slot. Row 0 at the bottom has the highest priority, followed by rows 1, 2 and 3. The key row underneath shows which key presses that column.

Skill columns with rows 3 to 0 and their key bindings underneath.
A higher-priority skill can keep lower-priority skills from being selected while it remains usable.

2.Add quick slots to the macro

Open Macro at the top right of the Skill screen. Use Add Macro to create a step, then click its icon to choose a quick slot.

The Macro button beside skill presets 1, 2 and 3.
A macro step with the quick-slot selector open beneath its icon.
The icon represents a quick slot, not a fixed skill. The macro can use the other eligible skills in that column too.

3.Set a delay for each step

Repeat Add Macro for the quick slots you want to include. Set each delay between 10 and 9900 ms; a macro supports up to 20 steps.

A delay controls the spacing of macro attempts. It does not make a skill ready or remove its casting time, cooldown, or conditions.

A smaller delay does not by itself mean more damage. Keep the setup simple while you learn which skills your quick slots select.

The 50 ms values shown here are examples, not an optimal timing recommendation.

4.Bind the macro key and hold it

On PC, bind Macro in Settings > Key Settings > General. Hold that key to keep attempting the macro; release it to stop.

Manual input takes priority over the macro.

The macro keeps attempting subsequent steps. The game explicitly warns that step order is not guaranteed, so a macro is not a fixed rotation.

Check the macro in the preset you intend to use. Switching presets stops the macro; hold its key again after switching.

In-game Macro help explaining setup, held input, manual priority and step-order limits.
Open the information icon beside Macro to read these instructions in game.

Why did nothing happen?

Check that the macro key is held and its binding is set.
