About TEAM OF 3

Team of 3 pits teams of 3 players each against one another.

The players fight in "Main" and "Assist" positions. All 3 members of the team share a single health bar.
The Main player faces off against the opponent, as in a standard match.

Assist players appear from off-screen to support the Main player.
All 3 players share a single health bar.

*This screen is from the Assist perspective.
*In the beta test, the player names will be displayed as well.

Assist players join the fight by performing Skills and Break-Ins.

■Skills
Skills are divided between Offense, Interference, Healing, and Support.
Pick the right one for the current situation.

Let's take a look at some of the Skills.

Activating a Skill drains the Skill Gauge.
The same Skill can not be used again until the cooldown time ends.
Use your Skills wisely!

■Break-Ins
Break-In performs a powerful special move unique to each character.
Although only one can be used at a time, they boast relatively high damage and fast startup. Find the right time for one to turn the tides!



■About Tagging
Perform a Tag when you want to switch positions between Main and Assist.

A Tag is successful once the request is accepted.
The arrow shown in the icon changes depending on if the request came from a Main or Assist player.
A countdown begins when you put out a Tag request.
If it is accepted before it reaches 0, the Tag is successful and the Main and Assist players switch positions.
However, you can only fight as the Main player once per round, meaning you cannot return to the Main role after tagging out during that round.
Tag when the situation calls for it to gain the advantage in battle.
Upon a successful Tag, the Main and Assist player can fight together for a duration of time.
A gauge appears above the head of the player switching from Main to Assist showing the remaining duration of co-play.
