Select from various stages such as New York, Beijing, Glasgow, Japan and more, each with fantastic pixel visuals and animated backgrounds!
UNIQUE GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS
Elemental System – Through this system, it is possible to execute elemental attacks that have different characteristics from your characters natural elemental affinity and bring new offensive or defensive possibilities for the player.
Taunt System – During a match, provocations can bring big advantages and disadvantages! Depending on the characters’ personality or relationship, different reactions can occur, so be careful! During the taunt animation, the character is still vulnerable, so make sure you’re not opening yourself up to a devastating attack!
Breaker System – At the cost of half the elemental bar (or the full elemental bar if you are not guarding), utilising a breaker is the best defence against an opponent’s pressure. When blocking or being hit, use this to turn the tables!
