How to Sprint

You can sprint on Stellar Blade by pressing down the L3 button once. Find out how to sprint, what to press, and when can you start doing so!

How to Sprint

Press the L3 Button to Sprint

By pressing the L3 Button on the controller once, and using the left analog stick to run, the character will do a sprint. This is a much preferred way to travel as it is faster than running.

Sprinting stops when you let go of the left analog stick or when you attack.

Use the Left Analog Stick to Run

You can run by tilting the left analog stick in whichever direction you want to. The character will automatically run while doing so as running is her default movement.

Slowly Tilt the Left Analog Stick to Walk

You can also make your character walk by slowly tilting the left analog stick to any direction.

Full Sprint is Activated When Out of Combat

EVE can sprint by pressing the L3 Button as mentioned above but when there are no active enemies nearby and you sprint for a long period of time, EVE will start sprintingat full speed. Use this to navigate the game's wider regions such as the Great Desert and the Wastelands!

When Can You Start Sprinting?

Part of the Tutorial

During the start of the game, you will be battling a few enemies here and there as part of the tutorial. After a while you will be asked to run by Tachy, your companion, and there will appear an on screen instruction teaching you the basics of sprinting.
