What Are The Best Avatar Creation Shortcuts?
Suppose you don’t feel like creating an avatar masterpiece and want to jump quickly into fighting. In that case,several helpful shortcuts make avatar creation a breeze!
Avatar Presets
Avatar presets are character builds designed for the game. You can choose a preset for your whole avatar or specific body/face parts. If you’re satisfied with the preset, you can finalize the avatar.

There are three Body Triangles, one for theUpper Body, one forLower Body, and one forMuscle Definition. The three points on the Upper and Lower Body Triangles represent Slim, Muscular, and Heavy body composition. On the Muscle Triangle, the three points are Built, Shredded, and Soft.
All you have to do ispin the white dot to the triangle section that best represents the composition you want.
