What is multi-instance?

Multi-instance means that users can run more than one emulator at the same time.

What is the advantage of the multi-instance?

For certain games,  the multi-instance has different usage and benefits. For example, in MMO/RPG/MMORPG, you can create more game accounts to upgrade and level up at the most fasted speed, which also allows you to use your high-ranking account to help your low-ranking account to finish the difficult mission.

Take 【King Of Avalon】as an example, you can create more emulators, which allows you to send yourself various items every day by different accounts. With the strategy, you can gain the fragment of heroes as soon as possible.

When do you need to use the multi-instance?

1. The game requires a higher Android version (example: Android 6.0 or higher to download)

NoxPlayer has customized a set of special keymappings just for MOBA games such as RoV (Arena of Valor), Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and such. Here, we would like to give you a brief introduction about the keymappings of MOBA games on NoxPlayer by taking Mobile Legends: Bang Bang as an example.

• MOBA Game Keymapping Instructions

• Autocast in MOBA Game

The keymapping in MOBA games is quite different from other games. Therefore, NoxPlayer has developed a special key for autocast in MOBA Games. You can drag the keys to the skill button to set them.

The advantage of autocast comparing to normal cast is that the autocast does not need you to adjust skill indicator to cast a spell but allow you to cast with one simple click to help you stay ahead of your enemies in the fierce battle. Here are the differences between the normal cast and autocast.

Normal cast

1. Hold the skill key and choose the direction of the skill with your mouse cursor

2. Release the skill key to cast the skill

Autocast

1. Just press the skill key to cast the skill in the direction of your mouse cursor

NoxPlayer has developed the two-finger function to help users to have better gaming experience. For many games, such as Clash of Clans, Lords Mobile, users can use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in or out in games. However, some games do not support this feature, therefore, in order to provide better gaming experience to our users, NoxPlayer has developed the two-finger function to help them to zoom in or out in games. There are two modes of the two-finger function.

1. Two-finger Pinch

Just as the name replies, NoxPlayer uses the mouse cursor to perform the operation of two fingers to zoom in or out.
