1. This feature is currently in its technical trial phase. We will continue to fine-tune the experience in future updates.

This feature requires support from the device's vibration motor and haptic engine. Due to hardware differences between models, the vibration's strength, precision, smoothness, and customizable settings may vary.
3. While vibrations are active, the device's power consumption and heat output may increase slightly.
If you experience hand discomfort during gameplay, you can go to "Settings" to lower vibration intensity (recommended settings only), reduce vibration scenarios, or turn this feature off.
Important Notes:
* Recommended setup: X-axis linear motor + high-quality haptic engine.
* If the device has no vibration hardware or the hardware is damaged, this setting will not take effect.
* If the Proxy has disabled vibration for this device at the operating system level, this setting will not take effect.
* On some devices, enabling "Power Saving Mode" may cause the operating system to automatically disable this feature, temporarily disabling vibration; exiting "Power Saving Mode" will restore it.
* If vibration hardware is functioning properly, but no vibration occurs, or other abnormalities are encountered, please contact official customer support.
* If the device includes additional vibration enhancement features, they may interfere with in-game vibration signals. Please consult the hardware manufacturer for guidance on making adjustments.
• Adds vibration feedback function for iOS devices when connected to controllers with vibration motors, such as Xbox and DualSense® controllers.
• Adds DualSense® controller speaker sound effects support during combat when connected to PC. Successfully triggering Defensive Assist and certain Characters' special skills will cause the audio to be played through the controller's speaker.
