| Combat Tutorial | Details |
|---|---|
| Monsters in the Field | Coming into contact with a monster triggers a battle. Running into one from behind guarantees a Preemptive Strike, but if a monster hits the group from behind, players suffer a Surprise Attack. |
| Attack Types | The three attack types are Power, Technical, and Speed. Each of them has a strength and a weakness affecting whether players win or lose a Head-to-Head. Power beats Technical Technical beats Speed Speed beats Power |
| Double Attack | If players win a Head-to-Head while targeting the same opponent, it results to a Double Attack. However, these will not occur if the Rider uses a skill. |
Once the Velociprey is slain, a Velocidrome suddenly appears. Defeat it to progress!
| Combat Tutorial | Details |
|---|---|
| Active Skills and Stamina | Select Skills in battle to consume Stamina and use an Active Skill. Some have attack type and can trigger a Head-to-Head under the right conditions. |
| Wyvernsoul Gauge | Represents a monster's fighting spirit. Reducing it to zero will give a big advantage in battle. Deplete it using Active Skills, Kinship Skills, or by attacking while riding. |
| Transformations | Most monsters undergo transformations during battle. The behavior and attack types of that monster will change. For some, other abilities may also be enhanced. |
| Synchro Rush | Can be activated when a lone monster is Toppled. This inflicts massive damage and greatly charges the Kinship Gauge. |
