==Weapon Swapping PA==
Placeholder Text
+
One of the unique features of Heroes is their ability to swap between different weapon types with the held use of some PAs.<br>
 +
'''Switchfire Gambit and Edgeracer Gambit''' will switch to Sword, '''Bulletblitz and Fallback Gambit''' will switch to TMGs, and '''Trickflash and Sleightshot Gambit''' will switch to Talis.<br>
 +
When these PAs are performed, the weapons are prioritized by "palette ascending order", and if more than one weapon type of the same category is set, the weapon with the closet number from the current palette number will be changed.<br>
 +
The starting point of the ascending order is the number of the weapon palette you have set. If the palette number is 3, the order is 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 1 -> 2.<br>
 +
Palettes that are not set are ignored. For example, if you only have 4 weapons set (1, 3, 4, 6), the loop is 1 -> 3 -> 4 -> 6.
 +
* Example<br> Palette 1: Sword<br> Palette 2: Talis<br> Palette 3: Sword<br> Palette 4: Sword<br> Palette 5: Talis<br> Palette 6: Gunblade
 +
* On the above palette, change from Talis on palette 2 to Sword on Edgeracer Gambit -> Move to palette 3
 +
* On the above palette, change from Talis on palette 5 to Sword on Edgeracer Gambit -> Move to palette 3
 +
* On the above palette, attempting to change to TMGs with Bulletblitz or Fallback Gambit -> Due to no TMGs equipped, the PA will behave as a single press and equipment will not change over.
 +
* On the above palette, Swords are lined up on palettes 3 and 4, so the Sword on palette 3 takes priority in the weapon change PA over palette 4. You can equip them as you normally would.<br>
  
==Swords==
+
==Features of Hero Sword==
===Rising Slash===
+
* For Normal Attacks, the Sword is swung from 1 Hit -> 1 Hit -> 2 Hits. Has wide reach and range, along with its lightweight behavior, but has low PP recovery on attacks.
 +
** PP Recovery 2 PP -> 3 PP -> 3 PP x 2, Sidestep Strike is 4 PP.
 +
** On the ground, the user advances with each attack, but has a property like Jet Boots, and when approaching a locked-on enemy, the user does not advance and attacks on the spot.
 +
*** Attacking in the air will not move forward. However, as an exception, Sidestep Strike will move forward even in the air.
 +
* Dodge Action is a Sidestep.
 +
** The Sidestep Strike is a slash. Has longer reach. Repeatedly using Sidestep Strike will allow faster movement than normal.
 +
** Sound and visual effects are made when dodging an attack during the invulnerability frames of Sidestep. Immediately after the Sidestep Strike becomes a Hero Counter, increasing power and Focus Gauge accumulation.
 +
* For "Hero Time Finish", the user swings 4 consecutive slashes while moving forward, slashing upwards and slams down on the final hit.
 +
** The power notation is 1700% x 5 + 4200% + 3000% (15700% in total).
 +
** You will be unable to respond for about 2 seconds after the last swing, but this time can be greatly reduced by jumping, sidestepping, and movement inputs, but not by PA inputs.

* The Hero Sword's Weapon Action is the chargeable long-range attack, 'Spirit-Bullet', which can be used without consuming PP and restores PP when hit. You can use it without consuming PP, and PP is restored when it hits.
 +
** Uncharged will fire off 5 bullets in a row, and can be repeatedly used by tapping the Weapon Action.<br> Recovers 4 PP per hit, which is the main way of recovering PP with Hero Sword.
 +
** Charging it by one stage will fire off only one shot, but the power of the bullet increases by about 5.5x and adds a penetrating and knockdown effect. Recovers 10 PP per hit made from the shot.
 +
** Charging it by two stages (Requires Aura High Charge) will fire off a single shot, further increasing the power by about 7x (about 40x compared to uncharged). However, the charge time is as long as 3 seconds. There is no Super Armor and will not recover PP.
 +
** Can be canceled from Normal Attacks, Sidestep Strikes, and PAs.
 +
*** If Combo Aura Shot Charge is learned, the Weapon Action will start from the 1st stage charge.
 +
** You cannot move while firing / charging. When used in the air, altitude is maintained on the spot.
 +
** Natural PP recovery stops during firing and charging.
 +
** During the action, the Sword is held on your back (as it appears).
 +
** It is considered as a Melee based attack that scales off of Melee Power.
 +
*** Does not inflict headshots.
 +
** No Perfect Attack windows after use, but Perfect Attacks can be applied for the Weapon Action.
 +
*** Using the Weapon Action will reset the attack combo.
 +
** Active / Attack PP recovery affects the Weapon Action.
 +
** There are guard frames when releasing the 1st / 2nd stage charged shot.

Overview

Demonia Saber, a 14 Sword.

The Hero Class handles three special weapons: Sword Swords, Twin MachinegunsTwin Machine Guns, and TalisTalis; as well as GunbladeGunblades, common to all classes.

All are existing weapons, but when equipped as a Hero, their movesets have a completely different behavior in terms of Normal Attacks, Weapon Actions, Dodge Actions, and Photon Arts.
Heroes cannot use any of the existing PAs for these weapon types (even for weapons that have a built-in PA cannot be used). Therefore, the behavior and PAs relating to these weapon types are discussed in separate pages.





Weapon Swapping PA

One of the unique features of Heroes is their ability to swap between different weapon types with the held use of some PAs.
Switchfire Gambit and Edgeracer Gambit will switch to Sword, Bulletblitz and Fallback Gambit will switch to TMGs, and Trickflash and Sleightshot Gambit will switch to Talis.
When these PAs are performed, the weapons are prioritized by "palette ascending order", and if more than one weapon type of the same category is set, the weapon with the closet number from the current palette number will be changed.
The starting point of the ascending order is the number of the weapon palette you have set. If the palette number is 3, the order is 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 1 -> 2.
Palettes that are not set are ignored. For example, if you only have 4 weapons set (1, 3, 4, 6), the loop is 1 -> 3 -> 4 -> 6.

  • Example
    Palette 1: Sword
    Palette 2: Talis
    Palette 3: Sword
    Palette 4: Sword
    Palette 5: Talis
    Palette 6: Gunblade
  • On the above palette, change from Talis on palette 2 to Sword on Edgeracer Gambit -> Move to palette 3
  • On the above palette, change from Talis on palette 5 to Sword on Edgeracer Gambit -> Move to palette 3
  • On the above palette, attempting to change to TMGs with Bulletblitz or Fallback Gambit -> Due to no TMGs equipped, the PA will behave as a single press and equipment will not change over.
  • On the above palette, Swords are lined up on palettes 3 and 4, so the Sword on palette 3 takes priority in the weapon change PA over palette 4. You can equip them as you normally would.

Features of Hero Sword

  • For Normal Attacks, the Sword is swung from 1 Hit -> 1 Hit -> 2 Hits. Has wide reach and range, along with its lightweight behavior, but has low PP recovery on attacks.
    • PP Recovery 2 PP -> 3 PP -> 3 PP x 2, Sidestep Strike is 4 PP.
    • On the ground, the user advances with each attack, but has a property like Jet Boots, and when approaching a locked-on enemy, the user does not advance and attacks on the spot.
      • Attacking in the air will not move forward. However, as an exception, Sidestep Strike will move forward even in the air.
  • Dodge Action is a Sidestep.
    • The Sidestep Strike is a slash. Has longer reach. Repeatedly using Sidestep Strike will allow faster movement than normal.
    • Sound and visual effects are made when dodging an attack during the invulnerability frames of Sidestep. Immediately after the Sidestep Strike becomes a Hero Counter, increasing power and Focus Gauge accumulation.
  • For "Hero Time Finish", the user swings 4 consecutive slashes while moving forward, slashing upwards and slams down on the final hit.
    • The power notation is 1700% x 5 + 4200% + 3000% (15700% in total).
    • You will be unable to respond for about 2 seconds after the last swing, but this time can be greatly reduced by jumping, sidestepping, and movement inputs, but not by PA inputs.
