Calvard Republic

One of the largest nations on the continent, located in the Midwest Zemuria.

Originally a monarch, it became a democratic republic following the democratic revolution that took place a hundred years ago.

After many years of bloody warfare against Crossbell, located between Calvard and the immense Empire of Erebonia in Western Zemuria, Crossbell regained its independence as a self-governing state after several years of events …

Although Calvard no longer receives tax revenue from the Autonomous State, the Empire’s massive reparations have caused an unprecedented economic boom, and it is fast becoming the continent’s first nation in economic and military affairs.

Capital Edith

The capital of the Calvard Republic, and the largest metropolis on the continent.

Locations include Revolution Plaza, which overlooks the President’s office and the 90-year-old Republic Assembly Hall; the prestigious high school which produces many elites; neighborhoods lined with publishers and orbal cinemas; the old town untouched by developments; the commercial district which faces the edge of the river; and on the main street you can see “white clove trees” by the side of the road.

■ New combat system

In Legend of heroes: Kuro no Kiseki, the command-style AT (Action Time) combat system used so far in the series has been revamped. With a unique new system that seamlessly switches from field action battles to command style battles, you can enjoy even faster and more strategic battles.

Basic system

(1) When you discover an enemy on the ground, you can start an action battle. (You can also avoid the battle.)

(2) During an Action Battle, you can switch to a Command Battle by deploying the “Xipha” Battle Orb. (Removing the Xipha will take you back to (1), allowing you to return to an action battle.)

Use various actions on the ground, including combo attacks and dodging

You can perform various actions in the field, including combo attacks and heavy attacks against targeted enemies, and if you are in a party, you can freely switch between characters during battle. And since the enemy side will also launch various attacks from the player’s side, actions like adjusting your field position and evading are vital to avoiding damage.

– Directly attack enemies in the field with combo attacks!

– Each character has their own evasive actions.

Command Battles: Strategic combat with crafts, arts, and other turn-based actions

In Command Battles, the battle will progress by selecting commands such as Standard Attack, Crafting, Arts, and Items, as has been done in the series so far.

Keeping in mind your actions, such as using crafts with various effects and arts with the seven elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Time, Space, and Mirage), you can even compete with more powerful enemies on an equal footing.

Additionally, you can receive a temporary boost with the ‘Xipha’ Battle Orb, and if a party member is nearby, you can activate additional attacks or additional effects such as sharing the arts of the other.

: Select a command for each character to perform an action.

– Double the damage with artistic attacks depending on the attribute.

– When a craft is used, the camera changes to flesh out the fight!

—Activate additional effects with the “Xipha” Combat Orb.
