Key bindings

Races of Valheim uses a shared layout: G, H and J are transformation keys, and anything else is race-specific. Keys do nothing until the matching tier is unlocked.

Ability keys by race

Key	Skadi	Fenrir	Aswid	Trol
G	Drake Form	Wolf / Ulv	Bat Form	True Form
H	Moder Form	Ulv / Fenring	Weight of Shadows (mist)	Log Weapon
J	Skeleton Dragon Form	Cultist	Eclipse	—
K	—	—	Dominate	—
I	—	—	Toggle auto-devour	—
O	—	Howl (in form)	—	—
Middle Mouse	Cold Spell	—	—	—

Skeleton, Furling and Draugh have no ability keys — their kits are entirely passive.

In-form controls

Once you are transformed, the mouse buttons become that form's attacks.

Skadi — dragon forms

Input	Action
Right Mouse	Toggle flight
W (in flight)	Power forward and climb
Left Mouse	Bite/claw on foot · shard barrage in flight
Middle Mouse	Ice breath
Right Mouse	Spinning tail sweep — Skeleton Dragon, on foot only

Fenrir — beast and cultist forms

Input	Beast forms	Cultist form
Left Mouse	Claw	Single claw
Right Mouse	Heavy claw	Fire breath (hold, costs eitr)
Middle Mouse	Jump attack	Double claw
O	Howl	Howl

Fenrir attacks only fire while grounded.

Aswid

Input	Action
Right Mouse (block)	Channel the Vampiric Aura — bat or mist form only

Abilities and open menus

Race abilities are gated on the same check Valheim uses for its own controls. They will not fire while:

• the map is open
• the inventory is open
• a chest or other container is open
• the chat is focused
• any menu is up

This is why clicking an item inside a container no longer swings your transformed attack.

Rebinding

The keys are currently fixed in code and cannot be rebound from a config file. If a key conflicts with another mod, the practical workaround is to rebind the other mod.

Debug keys

F8 triggers developer diagnostic dumps for several races. It is harmless but produces log spam, and it is not part of normal play.
