Hack and Slash with Your Sword

Swordplay is Clive's bread and butter; most of the game's combat will be spent going right up against enemies and hacking at them with your sword.

Use Abilities from Eikons

Clive will be able to learn different abilities from all the Eikons he encounters in the game. These abilities are elemental abilities that give your sword attacks different properties, from fire-based attacks to hyper-speed slashes that send you dashing across the field. Clive can also learn offensive magical abilities that have range and area of effect.

String Together Wild Combos

Clive will be able to use all abilities he's learned in battle, so you can string together very different abilities to inflict various forms of damage and while staying flashy at the same time.

Keep Enemies in the Air

Enemies can be kept vulnerable in the air with various air combos, so make sure to use air combos to your advantage to get enemies' health down before they have a chance to react.

Control Eikons in Battle

You will be able to control various Eikons in large-scale cinematic battles that vary in gameplay depending on which Eikon you're controlling. There will be shoot-em-up battles, large-scale Eikon brawls, and more to be revealed.
