How to Play Freeze Frame: Action Highlights

Freeze Frame: Action Highlights Tips



Take Photos of Resonators in Combat

Freeze Frame Photo Interface

Freeze Frame: Action Highlights is a combat-photography event that requires players to take pictures of the selected Resonator doing a specific attack. There are 7 stages, each with a Normal and Hard mode.

Use Slow Motion to Take Photos

Each stage has 3 objectives. In Normal Mode, the game will apply a slow motion effect whenever one of the required attacks for a photo is being executed. Use this to take the pictures you need to complete the stage.

Apply Filters to Your Pictures

Freeze Frame Filters

Once you've taken a photo, you can apply filters to it for further personalization and customization. Certain objectives require specific filters in addition to capturing a pose.

Hard Mode Uses Manual Slow-Mo

Freeze Frame Hard Mode Manual Slow-Mo

Hard Mode unlocks after completing the stage's Normal Mode. Here, the objectives are more vague and the slow motion effect becomes manually-activated. Players will need to time both their Slow Motion and photos.
