… then you apply Chrono Solution (there are four types: red, blue, dark, and light) to the object you wish to change. Nora’s powers let her accelerate or reverse time on the particular object.

Atlus also introduced two new characters. Karuna Astarra is a mercenary who is rumored to be the most powerful swordswoman. While her skill in battle is unmatched, she’s a cheerful and sometimes clueless person after the monsters fall.
