A practical look at Stick War controls on keyboard/mouse and touch, and what each command does for your army.
Commanding a Stick War army is a mix of selection, movement and ordering. The exact key and button layout differs by platform and game version, so the descriptions below are the general concepts — always use the in-game help or settings screen for the precise bindings in the title you are playing (check current game version).
Almost every Stick War title shares the same basic actions: select units, order them to move, target an enemy, and trigger unit abilities. On desktop you usually click to select and command; on mobile you tap and drag. The important skill is issuing orders quickly while the battle keeps moving, which is why most players learn the shortcuts early.
On PC the mouse drives selection and movement — click a unit or box-select a group, then click a destination to move or click an enemy to attack. Number keys often select your produced armies or specific squads, and ability keys trigger special moves for units that have them. Exact bindings vary by version, so check the game’s settings (check current game version).
On mobile you tap a unit or tray icon to select it, then tap the battlefield to move or tap an enemy to engage. Drag gestures often order grouped armies, and ability buttons appear near your units when ready. The feel is the same as PC in spirit but built for thumbs; practice the tap-and-drag rhythm to keep up the pressure.
