Gameplay Updates [October 2024]
As of the launch of Deadly Demo in October 2024, various gameplay updates have been implemented in the game.
| Gameplay Updates |
|---|
|
・Refined Battle Camera. The locking system and camera behavior have been overhauled to make fighting more intuitive. ・Dash Action. This new dash action allows you to approach and retreat from enemies more swiftly, streamlining battle engagement and disengagement. ・Evasive Actions. Using the new “Evasion Gauge,” evasive actions require a cooldown period before you can use them again. The Evasion Gauge has a maximum limit that varies by character. As long as you have gauge remaining, you can continue to execute evasive actions. ・New Tension Cards and Effect Changes. A Tension Card effect lets a character consume more Evasion Gauge when performing an Attack Action to increase damage output. ・Improved Game Progression. The structure of map exploration and events have been changed to amp up the difficulty of strategic planning and battles. The correct reactions to enemy attacks from the very first encounter are required. Moreover, Action Skill 2 will now be available from the start of the game. ・Chain Skill Changes. Previously, chain skills required specific impairments to be executed between team members, which significantly limited team formation options. Now, in addition to impairments, chain skills can be executed with a certain probability when any impairment is activated. |
