Bandai Namco has just unveiled a new Bleach video game: BLEACH Rebirth of Souls.
This upcoming game will be available for play on both consoles and PC!
This game has a lot of new features that fans might be excited to explore and allows you to experience the excitement of an evolving clash where the danger and power increases as the stakes get higher! Today, let's discuss battle gameplay mechanics.
In this article, you’ll learn 4 simple rules you can use to defeat your opponent.
You’ll need to understand these core concepts while you learn your character’s strengths and weaknesses.
Experiment with different iconic BLEACH characters to find the one that suits you best!
Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryu Ishida... Find all the character that have been announced here.
Very quickly, here’s some important vocabulary!
- Zan Ken So Ki = Your character’s core move set that comes from the four basic fighting concepts all Soul Reapers must be able to use.
- Reishi = A health bar that tracks how much damage you’ve taken. When it gets low, your Konpaku are at risk!
- Konpaku = A set of lives you have in each clash. Lose all your Konpaku and it’s over!
- Kikon Move = A finishing move used to destroy an opponent’s Konpaku when their Reishi is low.
Now, let’s dive into the battle…
Rule 1: Cut down your opponent's Reishi
Use each character's distinct Zan Ken So Ki moves to damage your adversaries' Reishi.
Decreasing one Reishi gauge will lower your opponent's Konpaku.
Rule 2: Shatter the adversary's Konpaku
Once you've inflicted harm on your adversary, unleash your Kikon Move and destroy your adversary's Konpaku!
To stand a chance of winning the fight, you must destroy all Konpaku belonging to your adversaries.
Rule 3: Turn the tide of battle
As you use your skills in battle, you build up Spiritual Power, tracked by a gauge in the lower corner. Use this Spiritual Power to unleash your Spiritual Pressure Move when the gauge fills up!
You can also activate a Reverse Action while attacking and defending!
Shift the momentum of the fight with perfectly timed combination attacks!
There are three Reverse Actions and the effects will be different depending on when you activate them.
- Soul Reverse (White): Increase Spiritual Power and recover Reishi.
- Chain Reverse (Yellow): Continue combos and increase Spiritual Power
- Burst Reverse (Blue): Cancel opponent’s combos and recover Guard Gauge.
By using this technique at the right moment, you can completely change the course of the battle and potentially secure victory.
Mastering the Reverse Action is crucial in becoming a skilled and strategic fighter.
Rule 4: Awaken
When the Fighting Spirit Gauge is accumulated you can reach an Awakened state.
This heightened state of being allows you to tap into your true power, unleashing a force that is sure to overwhelm your opponent.
Your moves will change, as will the status of each skill, which increases the number of Konpaku which will be destroyed.
Now you know the four essential rules of combat in BLEACH Rebirth of Souls.
Remember them well for the battles ahead! And don’t forget to keep a lookout for more information on new characters and additional game tips here on our site as the launch of the game gets closer.
