■ Avoiding Damage

Evade avoids all damage from incoming attacks except for throws. However, there is a brief moment of vulnerability at the end of the move.

Cross overs avoid all damage from incoming attacks while advancing forward. However, it doesn't work against throws and low attacks.

* You can hold R2 and press Left or Right to pull off these moves.

■ Skills

Press the R1 button to use skills specific to that character. Once activated, each skill cannot be reused until its cooldown time passes. (The respective skill icon will be darkened during cooldown.)

■ Skybound Art

Deals more damage than regular skills. It can be activated when the SBA gauge is full.

■ Super Skybound Art

A super skybound art is an even more powerful skybound art.
It can only be activated when the SBA gauge is full and the character's HP is 30% or lower.

■ Technical Commands

Instead of using the R1 button as a shortcut, button inputs for activating skills, skybound arts, and super skybound arts can be entered manually.

The skill's cooldown will be shorter when activated by technical commands.
