■ Characters
Der Suul
CV: Kazuya Nakai
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Weapon: Sword
Origin: Kingdom of Trei’kur, Planet Faykreed
The brave general who leads the Trei’kur Army. He is a signeturgy swordsman who is skilled in the use of a sword, but also specializes in fire-based attacks. He is brutal and a savage, and will not hesitate to take the most vile means necessary to carry out what he must do.
He does not hesitate when it comes to his vile behavior, such as taking Relia hostage.
When the King’s Chosen—the group Victor belongs to—invades East Trei’kur, they do battle with Der Suul…
■ Dungeons
Trei’kur Execution Tower
The Trei’kur Execution Tower is an execution site northwest of East Trei’kur. In the days of old, the Trei’kur Army would execute criminals here, but today it is used as a campsite for soldiers.
Before heading to the Execution Tower, the formidable foe Der Suul lies in wait.
Mysterious Research Facility
A vast research facility where technology was developed, and where machinery and some sort of creatures inside glass-shaped tubes filled with liquid can be seen. What kind of research was going on using these creatures?
Suspiciously-dressed soldiers and machine-type enemies block the way before you.
■ System
Transporter
The Transporter is a system that lets you warp to any location from the Charles D. Goale warp room. Since you can return back to the Charles D. Goale by using a transmission device, you can move to faraway locations via the Charles D. Goale.
■ Battle System
Advance Attack and Surprise Attack
At the start of battle, if you launch a preemptive attack before you’re noticed by enemies, it’s called an “Advance Attack.” On the contrary, if you receive a preemptive attack from the enemy at the start of battle, it’s called a “Surprise Attack.” Each has its own advantages and disadvantages in status effects.
—Advance Attack
For a fixed period, ATK and INT increase.
—Surprise Attack
For a fixed period, DEF decreases.
■ Battle
Miki’s Signeturgy
—Explosion
A fireball falls from above the enemy and causes a large explosion. The explosion wide range could result in a multiple-stage hit.
—Resurrection
Revive allies who have fallen on the battlefield with all of their HP.
—Sunshine
A multiple-stage hit attack that drops a number of light pillars from above the enemy. It also lowers the enemy’s INT.
Anne’s Reserve Rush and Guard Counter
—Canon Blaze (Reserve Rush)
Anne flings up the enemy pulled down by the bottom of her palm and follows up with a wave of energy blasts.
—Might Discharge (Guard Counter)
Springs forth a ball of energy that blows enemies upward. When surrounded by enemies, you can use this to escape or as a chance to land new combos.
