Legend of Heroes: Trails In The Flash’s Characters Specialize In These Attacks

Recommended Videos

We recently reported new battle system features of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Flash that involves pairing up party members for tag attacks and support. Falcom reveals additional details for the tag attacks, along with character ratings for different attack types.

 

As previously mentioned, the cooperative attacks called “Link Attacks” will have three different categories. Burst, Rush and Pursuit. Here’s a closer look at how they work:

 

Pursuit is fairly basic, and allows the linked party member to follow up with an automatic attack.

 

Rush will have the two paired characters do a simultaneous cooperative attack.

 

Finally, the Burst option will allow you to use all the participating party members to simultaneously attack the monster with a wave of heavy attacks.

 

Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Flash features four different attack attributes. They are: Cut, Thrust, Shoot and Strike. Enemies will be weak to certain attack types. Hitting their weak spots will increase the chance of breaking their stance, and giving you a chance at a Link Attack opportunity.

 

  • Cut:  a relatively balanced attack. It is best used against soft enemies and plant types.
  • Thrust: penetrating attack that is good for hitting vital spots of bigger enemies. Best used against large enemies and fish type monsters.
  • Shoot: A great attacking method against speedy enemies. Most effective against flying monsters, insects and hard enemies.
  • Strike: used to crush or destroy enemies, also a great way to stun enemies. Effective against insects and large beasts.

 

The characters have a wide range of specialties in attack types. While some may excel at just a single attack attribute, others may be able to use all four, but with a lower rating. Here’s a look at our nine heroes and their attack attribute ratings.
