6Adjust the Mouse Sensitivity
A large part ofCentury: Age of Ashesis using the mouse for game play. The mouse is used to fly dragons, battle enemies, and so on and so forth. As such, playing with a mouse that’s too sensitive or not sensitive enough can cause game play to become a challenge.
Thankfully, it’s easy for somebody to fix the sensitivity of their mouse.All they have to do is enter training modeand adjust the mouse sensitivity until it’s just right. Too high means the mouse is too finicky, and too low sensitivity is too sluggish.

If a dragon is chasing a player, and they need to escape quickly, using the Shift key will help them to turn a sharp corner, or even make a 180-degree turn and start attacking the chaser. A player can follow the trail of the red dragon to learn how to use it efficiently.

Thankfully, a player can easily shake a tailgater off of their tracks by turning hard and fast in multiple directions.Essentially, a player wants to become unpredictable, to a point where the person chasing them grows confused and eventually loses track of them. After that, the newly freed player can choose to either run off or attempt a sneak attack on their opponent.
3Try Not to Use Fireballs Too Much
Despite seeming like a tried and true spell that can work in every situation (like in most other games), using a Fireball inCentury: Age of Ashesisn’t a guaranteed safe spell. Most people expect for a player to only shoot Fireballs, so they will prepare accordingly.
It’s best for a player to only use a few Fireballs, as the cool-down is high on this skill and enemies will expect this skill.When the fire ball is refreshing, a player should take this opportunity to blast all sorts of other spells at their enemies.
2Frostbolts Can Destroy Armor
Once a player sees that there are more spells to use than just a Fireball, it is around then that other skills will start coming into play.One of these spells is the frostbolt, which is a great spell to use to pierce through the armor of the enemy’s dragon and deal more damage.
Additionally, a player can use Fire Breath to destroy the enemy’s armor, if a Frostbolt is on cool down. After the armor has been destroyed, then they can use a Firebolt to cause serious damage.
1Play Around with the Classes
There are multiple classes for a player to choose and go through inCentury: Age of Ashes. Each class has different perks, such as the Windguard reducing the cooldown on Fireballs, or the Phantom being able to launch an explosive high damage projectile.
There’s no right or wrong answer to which class a player should pick. All the classeshave their own ups and downsthat tailor toward a specific play style, and a player should take the time to choose some classes on different characters and get a feel of how they all play. There’s no penalty for trying.
