■ Story

“In the year 120X, everything comes to an end.”

C. Epstein, the father of the orbal revolution, prophesized the end of the Zemurian continent.

As “X Day” approaches, a massive orbal rocket is about to be launched from a large military base built in the Kunlun Range.

“Can man make it past the planet’s atmosphere?”

“What lies at the end of the continent?”

“Will mankind be able to uncover the true nature of the ‘world’?”

While the whole world watches to witness the largest undertaking since the dawn of history, somewhere in the singularity that is Ored, forces from all over the land were about to gather, including a young “Spriggan.”

Will the single trail toward the distant heavens ultimately shape the future of Zemuria, or…

■ Key Features

• A Story Featuring Classic Characters! – The new story centers on iconic characters from past Trails series titles, including Van, the Spriggan from The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak; Kevin, the Grail Knight from The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky; Rean, the Ashen Chevalier from The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel; and Rufus from The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie. Together, they lead an exciting new chapter in the saga!
• New Systems and Battles Packed with Fresh Features! – The game introduces a wealth of new elements, including dynamic battles that seamlessly switch between field and command modes, story-driven and quest-linked dungeons, and various engaging side content to enhance your gameplay experience.
• Take on Intense Battles with Powerful Crafts and Arts! – Dive into thrilling combat using powerful abilities like “Awakening,” which dramatically boosts your stats, and high-level magic known as “Dual Arts.” These new features add an extra layer of strategy to epic confrontations against formidable foes!

■ New System Features

Awakening

Certain characters, such as Van with his Grendel transformation ability or the Dominion Knights with their stigmas, can enter an Awakening state during field battles by consuming Boost Gauge points. This state temporarily enhances their combat abilities significantly.

While awakened, characters not only undergo a visual transformation but also experience increased attack power and speed, allowing them to unleash devastating combos on enemies in overwhelmingly advantageous situations!

Additionally, while in the Awakening state, breaking objects in the field, such as breakable obstacles, restores the Boost Gauge. This enables players to extend the duration of their awakened state through efficient combat tactics.

Dual Arts

Dual Arts are high-level orbment-based magic that combine two different elements from the seven attributes: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Time, Space, and Mirage.

Although Dual Arts consume a large amount of EP (Energy Points), they possess far greater power than standard orbment arts.
In this installment, numerous new Dual Arts have been introduced, allowing players to unleash powerful magic in intense battles against enemy forces!

■ B.L.T.Z. System

An enhanced feature based on the “S.C.L.M. (Scrum)” system from The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak and The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II. During command battles, when performing normal attacks, crafts, or arts while under the AT Bonus “Blitz,” the “B.L.T.Z. Chain” or “B.L.T.Z. Support” activates!

B.L.T.Z. Chain

Following the partner’s follow-up attack via “S.C.L.M. Chain,” the supporter adds another follow-up with “B.L.T.Z. Chain.” Additionally, “B.L.T.Z. Support” enhances the effects of crafts or arts, creating a variety of tactical advantages during battle.

B.L.T.Z. Support

Unlike “S.C.L.M. Support,” which boosts the effectiveness of attack crafts and arts, “B.L.T.Z. Support” also increases the effects of recovery and support crafts/arts, offering a broader range of strategic options.

■ Z.O.C.

Field Battles

By pressing the corresponding button when the dedicated gauge in the bottom right of the screen is filled, Z.O.C. activates. While active, enemy speed decreases significantly, allowing players to attack unilaterally on the field.

Additionally, during Z.O.C., not only does the player’s attack power increase dramatically, but inflicted stun damage also rises, making it easier to stun even high-defense enemies.

Command Battles

In command battles, activating the S (Shard) Boost twice to reach full boost enables Z.O.C.. Once activated, the targeted character can perform consecutive actions and maintain the boost state for an additional turn compared to usual.

■ Grim Garten

Form a party from the available battle members and take on each domain of the castle to reclaim the virtual space seized by the mysterious society known as Ouroboros!

In each domain, your members are represented as avatars on a board (stage). Progress by moving the avatars forward on the grid each turn. Defeating the Guardians located at the deepest points of the domains unlocks new areas to explore and grants access to various services usable within the virtual space.

As you advance, members of different factions will gain access to the Grim Garten, triggering conversation events between characters from various organizations and alliances.

Beware of Ouroboros!

As you unlock more domains in the Grim Garten, Ouroboros, which has hacked the virtual space, will begin interfering with your party in various ways.
Through the Grim Garten, you’ll uncover more information about Ouroboros’ activities, and unexpected truths may come to light…!

■ Grimoire Decoding

Use Grim Tokens, items obtained during the castle exploration, to decode the magical tome Grimoire!

Decoding unlocks various helpful items such as elemental Sepith, HOLOWCOREs, Quartz, and accessories, aiding you in your quest.

Pedestal of Remembrance

In the Grim Garten, you may acquire special orbs called Memento Orbs. These orbs contain records of past events that occurred on the continent of Zemuria. By placing the orbs on the Pedestal of Remembrance, you can view their contents.

The information stored in the Memento Orbs includes pivotal moments in the lives of key characters and reveals truths about Zemuria’s history. Every piece of content within the orbs holds critical details that tie into the overarching narrative of the Trails series.
