Do I need a subscription on consoles?

PS5 commonly requires PlayStation Plus; Nintendo Switch may require Nintendo Switch Online depending on the game.

How to reduce latency?

Prefer same-region servers, use wired Ethernet, pause background downloads, and enable router QoS if available.

Is cross-play supported?

Check the game's own cross-play setting; we label support on each build page when applicable.

Steps (Steam)

Host creates a lobby/room in‑game and sets privacy/room code.
Press Shift + Tab to open the Steam Overlay, then invite via Friends List. (Overlay must be enabled.)
If joining fails, first check overlay and in‑game privacy settings.

See: Steam Support: Steam Community Overlay.

Can't connect / disconnects (PC)

Allow the game through firewall/security software. Ensure overlay is enabled globally or per‑game in Steam Settings.
Prefer wired Ethernet; restart router to clear conflicts; enable UPnP or configure port forwarding if needed.
Match the same region/server when possible to reduce latency and jitter.

Duo Tactics

Typical pairs: Parry Tank × Controller; Throwables × AoE Control; Minions × Precision Finisher.
Use the Synergy Matrix to jump to pre‑built duo templates, or browse the Build Library by role.
