Holy War X beginner guide

Holy War X is not out, so nobody has a tested route yet. This is what the developers have said about the first hours, put in the order you will meet it, and it will be rewritten from the game on release day.

Checked 15 November 2026

Before release

  1. Join the official Roblox community. In 2022 the developer said members get an EXP boost and a group starter weapon on release. It costs nothing. Holy War X on Roblox.
  2. Join the official Discord and verify. Release, codes and the real game link will be announced there. Discord guide.
  3. Do not pay for access. The game is free, and the Roblox page selling early access is not the developer's. How to tell.

Your first session

You will create a character and spin for a race and a magic. Extra spins are promised to everyone at launch, so the first roll is not final. Magics are locked to races, and the developer says the races are balanced against each other. Higher variants and combat styles are not on the wheel; you earn those. Races.

Everyone starts with the same weapon, the Sword of Beginning, a common one-handed sword with a single skill. You begin in Southern Britannia.

Levels 1 to 10

The game's own storyline takes you “between around levels 1 to 5”, mixing fights with problem-solving tasks, and opens against the red demon. The next story step asks for about level 10. The gap is filled with side quests picked up from NPC stations on each island. Later, guild wars and farming at sea carry you further.

Everything you do levels something: fishing, cooking, lockpicking, flight and blacksmithing all count towards your overall level.

Learning to fight

  • Parry is on M2. Heavy attacks are slow and can be parried.
  • If an enemy holds a move for a long time, it is probably becoming a block breaker. Move.
  • Evading out of a combo empties your reservoir; landing hits refills it. Keep attacking.
  • Lock-on works on NPCs. Use it.
  • NPC groups will not all rush you unless you hit several at once.
  • Bosses do not get stunned. Wait for the stagger.

Combat in full.

Your first upgrades

A blacksmith upgrades weapons with gold, ores and a class core. Ores come from mine shafts; the first core drops from chests and hostile NPCs, and the game favours the core for the weapon class you are using. Expect to need a second-tier core at about three stars. Crafting.

Eat. Meals give status effects, and there is a saturation bar.

Things to avoid

  • Fighting in cities. “You'll get smoked by even the normal guards.”
  • Emoting at mobs. Toxic emotes pull aggro.
  • Sailing far out early. One deep-sea boss cannot be beaten.
  • Codes from other sites. Until the game opens, there are none.
