Crosscode a new home review4/9/2023 ![]() To use these attacks, you aim with the right analog stick and fire using the right trigger button.

Lea’s class in CrossWorlds is a spheromancer, meaning that you have two types of attacks: close-combat melee and long-range spheres. The combat is incredibly fun and unique and feels amazingly fluid.
