Triad of Balance
The Triad of Balance is the combat triangle for the holy weapons. Each weapon
has its advantage and disadvantage against the other weapons.”Arch” is strong
against “Veil”, “Veil” is strong against “Gale” and “Gale” is strong against
“Arch”.
This correlation of the holy weapons can be visualized by using an item.
Wearing the item “Eyes of Truth” allows you to see the weapon you are
equipping is strong or weak against the enemy weapon. However this
item and ability will disappear after a certain period of time.
Use the advantage of the triad
Utilize the triad of balance to take advantage of the enemy. Take away the weapon the enemy is equipping if it gives you the advantage based on the triad of balance.
About the armor of the character’s
The character’s armor indicates the health of its character. There are 5 stages for the conditions of armor and each has different durability. The armor gets weaker as you take more damage and eventually when the durability gets to zero, all the armors will get torn apart. When all the armors are gone, you become in critical condition and if you get any damage during the condition you will become a near-death condition.
Condition of the armor
Restoring Armor
The armor which is damaged can be restored with the “Light of Blessing”. Also,
using the Overboost will restore the armor too.
****Rapid-Fire Recovery
If you are in the near-death condition, Enoch will collapse and the screen will fade out as if the eyes are closed. At this moment, if you press the button (except START BUTTON and BACK BUTTON) multiple times, Enoch will return from the abyss of death.
※If you successfully revive Enoch, some of his armor will get restored and if
you failed to revive Enoch, the game will be over immediately.
※In some scenes, there will be no recovery and the game will be over
immediately from the near-death condition.
3 TYPES OF WEAPONS
If you use “Stealing Weapons” while in the battle, Enoch can use 3 different
types of weapons. Changing the weapons depending on the situation is
important.
Arch
The “Arch” is able to cut apart all the existence has the insight which can
never be reached by mankind. Sometimes it becomes rigid like a sword,
sometimes it becomes flexible like a pleasing line of light in the sky. This
orbit of light slices the enemy through and sends the soul into heaven.
The first weapon
that Enoch will grab, this weapon is balanced in both offense and defense. Has
a lot of aerial
abilities and especially the unique move “Arch Glide” comes in handy when you
need to leap through the complex platform.
Unique Movements
Gale
The “Gale” is a holy weapon specialized to strike long-range. The trio of
“Slaves” is one set, three sets are deployed in each left and right. The
“Slaves” are commanded by a torus-shaped controller system that conducts the
thought of its operator. The “Slaves” will change their formation into the
shield while blocking.
The “Slaves” which surround its operator’s body can be ejected to perform the long-ranged attacks. You can fight safer by taking distance from the enemy but this holy weapon is weak at blocking compare to other weapons.
Unique Movements
Veil
The “Veil” is known for its overwhelming force which simply does not allow any
other gods’ weapons to compete. This holy weapon is also great at defending
and can move while blocking. In the defensive mode, the “Veil” will form
itself into a beautiful circle remind you that this holy weapon is not only
about its brute force and is about its elegance.
The shield-shaped “Veil” that is worn in both hands is the best at blocking among all three types of weapons. There is some obstacle that can be destroyed only by the “Veil”.
VARIOUS ITEMS
