Let’s take a look below at what the brand new modes you’ll be able to access right away starting tomorrow contain. Between a new mode and new Kirin form, there will undoubtedly be plenty to enjoy.
D-nizer Mode tasks you with playing as a special version of GV to see how far you can make it in a highly challenging survival mode. In this mode, GV plays similarly to playing the main story with the Passive Image Pulse "Primal Dragon" GUNVOLT equipped. It's strongly recommended that you practice by using this Image Pulse in each stage before tackling D-nizer Mode.
Your time limit is the Fetters Gauge, which ticks down over time and whenever you use your skills or Prevasion. Defeat enemies with a flourish to restore your Gauge and see how far you can make it!
Kirin is not available in D-nizer Mode. In exchange, you'll be able to 'D-nize' (Primal Dragonize) under certain conditions. It takes time to D-nize, you won't be able to use it in a pinch. Plan your strategy accordingly!
D-nized GV is just a strong as he is in the main story. However, using this power will increase a counter in the bottom right of the screen. When the counter hits 100%, it's game over.
You'll earn credits by playing D-nizer Mode, allowing you to purchase special abilities. Some of these are very strong, so make the most of them and aim to clear all the stages!
The Battle Priestess has experienced conflicts on multiple worlds, awakening her to new skills. She can use a variety of familiar abilities, but cannot receive the effects of Passive Image Pulses.
*To unlock: Clear the game and see the true ending. Afterwards, a new option will appear before missions, "XX Trigger."
Thanks to having so many new abilities Kirin’s move set has now been amplified tenfold. Here are the new techniques to get familiar with:
Talisman Storm: Released from the shackles of the Talisman Gauge, Kirin XX can throw 3 talismans in a spread shot.
Talisman Storm –Final–: Kirin XX can charge her talismans to throw a total of 5 at once. The charge time is slightly long.
Rakshasa Cleave: Kirin XX's air attack is a spinning sword technique. Its attack power is low, but it can hit multiple times.
Merciful Beheading: When landing after using Rapid Ressen Slash, blades spring forth from the ground.
Starlight Prayer: Turn the talismans thrown with Talisman Storm -Final- into clones that fly at enemies.
Warden Flash: Counter attack any enemy that touches Kirin XX the moment she assumes her reload stance.
