The long awaited finale to the epic engulfing a continent comes to a head in the final chapter of the Trails of Cold Steel saga!
Players engage in a turn-based combat system that builds upon mechanics introduced in previous Trails entries. The combat retains its focus on elemental weaknesses, break mechanics, and character-specific crafts (special attacks).
Players can break an enemy's guard by dealing enough damage to its Break gauge. When broken, enemies become stunned and vulnerable, allowing players to unleash powerful attacks. This system encourages strategic targeting of enemy weaknesses.
Each character possesses a variety of Crafts, special attacks, and abilities with diverse effects like dealing damage or buffing allies. Characters can also unleash devastating S-Crafts, their most powerful special attacks.
Players can activate Brave Orders, party-wide support abilities that provide benefits such as increased damage or reduced incoming damage. Players obtain and upgrade these orders by completing optional challenge chests.
Players can now summon giant mechs, called Panzer Soldats, to the battlefield to deliver devastating attacks and turn the tide of battle.
The extensive customization options allow players to equip characters with Quartz, which provide stat boosts and abilities. The ability to share Quartz as sub-quartz between party members adds depth to customization.
An Auto-Battle feature enables the AI to efficiently handle basic encounters, freeing up players to focus on more challenging battles.
