System
Out in the Field
Enjoy riding your monsties in an open world built like an outdoor adventure course, ready to test the limits of your riding actions. Change Monsties on the fly, letting you easily swap through your party for riding actions like flying and wall climbing. Use actions like ranged and melee attacks on nearby monsters to gain an advantage before battle even starts.
More Paths to Victory in Battle
The turn-based battle system with Power, Speed, and Technical attacks has been further improved. The baseline of a winnable rock-paper-scissors, beloved in previous titles, remains, but we've added more strategic options to gain a win in battle.
The Three Attack Types
There are three attack types—Power, Speed, and Technical—that make up the base of the battle system, similar to rock-paper-scissors.
Power
Speed
Technique
Monsters' attack types will change when they transform or undergo status changes, but paying close attention to their behavior and listening to your comrades' advice can enable you to guess their patterns.
Head-to-Head & Double Attacks
When you and your opponent are targeting each other directly, you'll enter a Head-to-Head.
Choosing the correct attack type in a Head-to-Head enables you to deal significant damage, greatly filling the Kinship Gauge.
Breaking Parts
Each monster part has its own durability gauge, and bringing that gauge to zero will break the corresponding part.
Breaking parts confers a variety of advantages, including getting rare materials or stopping monsters from taking certain actions.
The Wyvernsoul Gauge
The Wyvernsoul Gauge represents a monster's fighting spirit, and reducing the gauge to zero will stagger it. Staggered monsters lose Wyvernsoul Stock and enter a Fatigued state, making their attacks easier to dodge.
If a monster's Wyvernsoul Stock is fully depleted, it will be Toppled.
Synchro Rush
Once a monster is Toppled, you can perform a Synchro Rush.
Not only do you get to inflict massive damage, your Kinship Gauge is also greatly filled, getting you closer to unleashing a Kinship Skill or other massive attack.
