A Bizarre Run is a Roblox game whose main mode is a multiplayer horse race. Its secondary mode, Battlegrounds, is a free-for-all combat mode where you use Stands, the game's powerful combat abilities. To get started, learn the mounted controls in a race, then use race rewards and quests to build up Cash and Stand resources.
| Key | What it does | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| W, A, S, D | Move | Anywhere |
| Space | Jump | Anywhere |
| B | Pull out your Stand | Anywhere |
| C | Pull out your secondary item | Anywhere |
| Hold C | Choose your secondary item | Anywhere |
| X | Emote | Anywhere |
| Left Shift | Run | On horseback |
| F | One-time boost | On horseback |
| N | Dismount | On horseback |
| T | Call your horse back | After you fall off |
| Left Mouse Button | Basic attack (M1) | Combat and lobby |
| 1 to 4 | Use skills | Combat and lobby |
| Q | Dash | Combat and lobby |
| R | Empower move | Combat and lobby |
Movement, jumping, your Stand, your secondary item, and emotes work the same on foot or on a mount. The keys that only work on horseback are Left Shift, F, and N, so those are the first ones to get comfortable with. Controls can change, so if the on-screen prompt shows a different key for any action, follow the prompt.
Learn Mounted Movement in Your First A Bizarre Run Race
You race on a mount, which is a horse or a camel. Each race pits you against several other players as you cross multiple biomes, or different environments. Finishing in the top 10 earns rewards, so placement matters.
Your first race is the best time to learn how your mount moves and where the hazards are. The other players will try to sabotage your progress and slip past you, so it helps to know your controls before the pressure builds. These are the habits to build early:
- Use Left Shift to run, which helps you stay ahead.
- Use slipstreams at key moments to pull ahead.
- Use your one-time boost on F and shoot environmental hazards when you get the chance.
- Aim to hover around third place as the race nears its end.
- If you fall off, press T to call your horse back.
Hovering around third is worth practicing, since it keeps you within reach of the racers ahead as the finish approaches. Passing them right before the line is a tactic that can work, though it isn't a guaranteed result.
Choose a Mount and Reroll Its Stats in Customize
The species of your mount is only cosmetic, so choose the horse or camel you like the look of. What matters is the stat spread, which covers Stamina, Acceleration, Handling, Top Speed, and Boost Length. You can reroll those stats in the Customize menu, and each reroll costs 1,000 Cash and randomizes all five.
- Open the Customize menu and review your mount's current stats.
- Reroll for 1,000 Cash if you want a different spread.
- Repeat for as long as you have the Cash and want to keep trying.
Stats matter the most in a race, so rerolling is worth the Cash when you're after a stronger spread. Keep in mind that each roll is random, so a new spread can be better or worse than the last one. Reviewing your stats first helps you decide when to stop.
Practice Combat in A Bizarre Run Battlegrounds
Combat is the secondary part of the game, but it's worth learning early. You can reach Battlegrounds from the lobby whenever you want to fight.
The combat follows the standard battlegrounds-style pattern. Your basic combo is a string of M1 attacks, which you can chain into your abilities. Skills on the number keys 1 to 4 deal heavy damage, and certain Stands and abilities can be enhanced with special moves for even more damage.
Start with M1 combos to get a feel for the rhythm, then add skills once chaining them feels comfortable.
How to Get Stands in A Bizarre Run With Stand Arrows
You get a Stand by using a Stand Arrow. A Stand Arrow is a craftable resource, and you make it from Stand Arrow Fragments.
- Collect Stand Arrow Fragments. They drop as loot in Battlegrounds, and a race can reward them as its completion reward.
- Craft a Stand Arrow from your fragments.
- Use the Stand Arrow to get a Stand.
Both modes can supply fragments, so racing and fighting both move your Stand progress forward. The movesets are quite varied, so the Stand you pick can change how you fight.
Use Daily and Weekly Quests for Steady Resources
Daily and Weekly Quests are an easy way to keep resources coming in. Completing them can reward Rokakaka Fruit, Spin Tickets, Cash, and Stand Arrow Fragments. Those rewards help you get better Stands or improve your mount, which makes the quests worth finishing each time they reset.
Each set resets when its timer ends, so you get a new one fairly often. Checking in between races and Battlegrounds sessions is a simple way to keep your progress moving.
