A powerful “rise” version has been comprehensively upgraded

The easiest to see, the image part of Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising has been upgraded in a remarkable way thanks to the advanced graphics of Unreal Engine. Now, the characters and skills have been meticulously elaborated, making your fighting experience much more “eye”.

In particular, the visual effects when you use Skybound Art or Super Skybound Art, the character's ultimate skill. When using, the game will appear an animation that may not exceed when saying that it is cut from the top graphics anime, which makes the writer feel extremely surprised. Of course, as well as overwhelming the first experience.

Along with the outstanding graphics quality is the same sound experience, the background music of the character that has been done very well in the previous version has been inherited. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. The launch of new characters will also come with new character background music. From the gentle but melancholy melody of Ferry from the previous version, or the magical melody of Nier, to other heroic music, all will meet your taste.

Meanwhile, Bravery Points (BP) is a newly added resource, which has contributed to the core play of the whole game. Each player will be started with up to 3 BP, you can use the Bravery Points point in both attack, and defend through the use of Raging Strike or Brave Counter for a price to be 1 BP.

Raging Strike is an extremely powerful attack, often used in combos to increase damage, or can link an additional Raged Chain after using Raged Strike to be able to perform longer combos chains when In the middle of the screen.

Another use of Raging Strike is to destroy the opponent's defense layer if they only know how to sit and defend. Using Brave Counter to defend is somewhat simpler, used while blocking attacks to push the opponent away to create a safe distance or can cause “pond” that makes the opponent must Lying “soil measurement”.

Although so many uses and strong, Brazil Points is very balanced because of “reward”, there must be “punishment”.

First, when you want to use Raged Strike to break the opponent's defense state, they can completely avoid focusing on the blow and punishing you shortly thereafter.

Another point is that when the player's BP is down to a certain level, the amount of damage they have to receive will increase, maximum can receive up to 50% of the damage, if there is no BP.

This makes players know how to use BP appropriately, not indiscriminate use, and then bring themselves into difficult situations. Besides, BP can also be “charged” by successfully using the ultimate skills of the character, an increase of 1 point with Skybound Art and 2 points with Super Skybound Art.

The successful use of the ultimate skills not only helps to increase the BP for the player itself but also except BP corresponding to the opponent, increasing the importance of managing BP resources.
