About Known Bugs When starting in VRM mode, there is an issue where input and movement directions may become reversed on the initial screen (the house entrance) where you check your avatar.
This issue is more likely to occur when using heavy VRM files that take longer to load. Leaving the house and starting the game will restore normal behavior. If you encounter this issue on the avatar confirmation screen, we apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you proceed to the door and step outside to resolve it.
About Demo
I’d like to provide an update regarding the demo version. In fact, this demo was created quite some time ago, and over the past two weeks of being available, many bugs have been discovered. Among them, a critical bug was found, but due to limited time and resources, we were unable to rebuild the demo's stage, which led us to significantly restrict access to the stage.
The main purpose of the demo was to allow users to test the import functionality for VRM models and VRoidHub models. Therefore, we wanted to avoid taking the demo offline, and instead, it remains available with limited functionality.
Currently, in the demo, you can only walk on the ground.
At Step 50, you'll receive the Anime Special Choose a ★5 Character Summons Ticket (White Night).
The Anime Special Choose a ★5 Character Summons Ticket (White Night) allows you to choose one of the Thousand-Year Blood War characters that appeared up to May 31, 2024, including the newly introduced characters.
Check out the characters' abilities on the official Brave Souls YouTube channel!
See below for details.
Character Details: Retsu
・Characteristics - Attack type: Ranged strong attack - All attacks: Paralysis - Special Move: Barrier - EX Move: Sweep Attack + Heal - Quincy Killer+ - Soul Trait: Damage inflicted at full STA +35% (max) - Skill: Bombardment +1 - Skill: Frenzy in Guild Quests +3
・Character Details All of Retsu's attacks can paralyze her enemies, stopping them in their tracks and giving her a significant advantage in battle. Her high-powered Soul Trait, "Damage inflicted at full STA +35%", combined with her skill "Full Stamina Damage Boost 20%", grants a staggering 55% damage boost to all her attacks whilst at full Stamina.
Her EX Move, "Sweep Attack + Heal", delivers a devastating attack in a circular area around herself and heals all her allies, helping to maintain maximum Stamina and boost the team's chances of survival.
Retsu's Special Move is also a force to be reckoned with. She has "Bombardment +1" and "Weaken Defense" and the move is guaranteed to inflict "Paralysis", which will trigger "Status Ailment Spiritual Pressure Boost +80%", making for a Special Move that packs a real punch.
With Quincy Killer+ and skills such as "Frenzy in Guild Quests +3", "Increased Ranged Damage in Guild Quests 30%", and "Increased Killer Effect in Guild Quests 50%", Retsu shines in Guild Quests where Quincy Killer and Increased Ranged Damage rules apply.
・Character Details With a Gauge that activates through normal attacks and the powerful Gauge Effects of "Flurry +1" and "Bruiser +100％", Nemu is well-suited for normal attacks.
Her powerful Soul Trait "Normal attack damage +35%" and the skills "Increased Normal Attack Damage 50%" and "Flurry +1" become even more powerful when her Gauge is fully charged and the Gauge Effect combines with these to give her a massive 185% boost to her normal attack damage, while "Flurry +2" allows her to deliver more of these high-damage attacks.
Nemu can charge her Gauge quickly thanks to skills such as "Start Gauge (Except in Brave Battles) 70%" and "Gauge Rampage", ensuring high damage. She also has "Boost" and "Barrier" effects on her second strong attack. Combined with skills such as "Booster", "Enhancer", and "Multi-Barrier +2", she can grant big bonuses to the offensive and defensive capabilities of herself and her team.
Nemu also comes with "Complete Status Immunity 100%", "Sharpshooter", and "Poise", making her useful in various quests. Being a rare Quincy Killer character that specialises in normal attacks, she can be used to devastating effect as a non-controlled character in Guild Quests with Quincy Killer and Increased Ranged Damage Rules.
Character Details: Isane
・Characteristics - Attack type: Melee strong attack - All attacks: Drain - Special Move: Automatic revival - Soul Trait: Crystal/Jewel drop +30% (max) - 20 Enemies Defeated Bonus: (Team/Party) Increased Movement Speed +20% - Skill: Super Power Link Slot Potions +10 - Skill: Complete Status Immunity
・Character Details Isane can inflict Drain with all her attacks, stealing enemy Stamina to heal herself and robbing them of their ability to inflict status ailments.
She is the first Speed Attribute character to possess the potent skill "Super Power Link Slot Potions +10", along with "Power Link Slot Potions +5", making her invaluable in the Link Slot Trial quests that reward these items.
Her skill "Increased Status Ailment Chance Against Power Attribute Enemies" makes it easier to inflict status ailments, and with "Status Ailment Spiritual Pressure Boost +80%" and "Damage to Drained Enemies 40%," she can deal high damage even against enemies with Iron Skin.
Isane's Special Move automatically revives allies and her Enemies Defeated Bonus provides enormously useful effects such as "(Team/Party) Increased Movement Speed +20%", "(Team/Party) Recover 20% Stamina", and "(Team/Party) Strong Attack Damage +20%", that bring out the best of her entire team.
Her high-effect Soul Trait "Increased Crystal/Jewel Drop 30%" makes her an excellent character link for quests where Crystals and Jewels drop.
