# Controls
When a character's turn starts, that character is automatically selected.
The tiles where this character can move have a blue tint. Click on any of these tiles to order your character to move there.
Alternatively, you can also perform a **melee attack** on any enemy character located on an adjacent tile to the selected character by clicking on that enemy character.
If you click an enemy character that is not on an adjacent tile, this will instead order your character to move towards them.
Once a character is selected, their character tab appears at the top of the screen:
The main actions that this offers are: using [items](/gameplay/items-and-spells.md#items) or casting [spells](/gameplay/items-and-spells.md#spells). In both cases, you can click/tap the icon of the item/spell you want to use, or use the keyboard shortcut indicated in at the bottom-right of the icon.
Most items work on the selected character and do not require selecting a target. On the contrary, most spells require a target. Therefore after clicking a spell, you will need to click on the location of the arena where you wish to cast it. In the meantime, a summary of the spell information is displayed, and if you are using a mouse, hovering the arena will display the expected area of effect of the spell.
