A STORY PAINTED BY LAYERS OF CHALLENGING ACTION GAMEPLAY. USE VARIOUS ABILITIES TO CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES!
EXPLORE
OVERVIEW
Various weapons such as greatswords, daggers, and spears determine a character’s job when equipped. Acquire new abilities and jobs through a character enhancement system called the Job Tree.
Choose among a variety of jobs to select two which you can switch between during battle. Using magic spells is also another effective strategy.
Prepare for battle by acquiring and equipping more powerful gear. Collect various weapons from treasure chests or by defeating enemies.
Each boss has its own unique movements. Identifying the enemy’s swift moves and effectively utilizing soul shield and various abilities will carry you through deadly battles.
COMBAT
Fight your way through excruciating battles with a variety of means to pulverize your enemies.
Soul Burst
Once the enemy’s Break gauge reaches zero, the enemy enters a “Break” state. Approach the enemy in the Break state and activate a soul burst to deliver a finishing blow. By defeating enemies using soul bursts, your maximum MP increases, and MP is restored.
Soul Shield
Consume Break to set up a soul shield. When you take an attack while your soul shield is up, your maximum MP increases, and MP is restored. Activating a normal attack right when taking an enemy attack delivers a deep-dive counter.
Instant abilities
If you block an ability with a purple name using the soul shield, you can then use that ability yourself. The advantage of instant abilities is that they do not consume MP, so they can be used freely.
Lightbringer
When your max MP is two bars or more, consume two bars’ worth of MP and max MP to activate Lightbringer. Activating Lightbringer makes it easier to finish off enemies with a soul burst and also serves as an effective method to fight back when surrounded by enemies.
Guard/Dodge
Guard against your enemies’ attacks with your weapon. Use the dodge command while guarding to evade attacks.
Break gauge
The break gauge is a key feature in the battle system. How you wear down an enemy’s gauge is especially important when attacking.
Instant Abilities
Use action abilities by consuming MP. Action abilities can greatly deplenish the enemy’s Break gauge.
Action Abilities
Action abilities don’t just inflict a large amount of damage on an enemy’s break gauge; they can deplete the maximum capacity of that break gauge too. The further you reduce the capacity of a foe’s break gauge, the easier it will be to break them and use soul burst, which will also replenish your MP.
