Unleash the Power Of Bonds with "Brave Frontier" Latest Combat Mechanic
gumi Inc announces a brand new feature for the award-winning mobile role-playing game, Brave Frontier. Players of Brave Frontier will be able to use Dual Brave Burst (DBB) - the next evolution of the Brave Burst combat mechanic starting May 29, 2019. DBB is the latest combat mechanic that provides players the capability to combine the skills of two heroes in a single special attack that provides additional damage to enemies and extra effects to allies or foes in battle. With the implementation of DBB, players will get to create new strategies and tactics that will enhance their playing experience. During the battle, when a player has a bonded unit in their squad, the player will gain one Synergy Shard every five turns. Players are able to speed up the process of gaining Synergy Shards by unleashing a bonded unit’s Ultimate Brave Burst (UBB). By doing so, the player will gain an additional one Synergy Shard every turn. The players will then utilize these Synergy Shards to execute the bonded unit’s DBB to obliterate the enemies that stand in their way. To unlock DBB, players would need to fuse DBB potential units with special fusion materials (Elemental Golems) earned by completing quests or by participating in our in-game events. Once the DBB is unlocked, players will then be able to create bonds with the respective Bond Partners and unleash the DBB in battle. Players can create a total of 9 DBB bonds on launch day. The list of the units with their Bonded Partners are as follows: Azurai & Korzan Saerenthis & Tsovinar Nia & Elaina Tevarius & N'an-Wang-Mu Sero-Anya & QiuTong Beatrix & Semira Xenon & Estia Juno-Seto & Ensa-Taya Giselle & Kranus More DBB pairs will be released regularly in the near future.
