Hints & Tips

Phade: Easy kills
To hurt or even kill several opponents at one time with Phad, pick up an object and throw and make sure to hit an opponent. You will receive a Rune that looks like a crosshair. When this occurs, press Rune Attack (R2) and she will unleash a long green blast from her hands. To attack several opponents at once, rotate the Left Analog-stick in either direction. Phade will spin around, causing her blast to spread apart and shoot in several directions, hitting anyone that is near her.

Suggested characters
To complete the game easier, mostly fight as Magnus (easiest character to finish the game with). Magnus is the second-most powerful character in this game. While fighting any person, use combos like the Throw Back, Leak, Pop Up, or Magic. If you are not familiar with his moves, go to training mode at the main menu and practice with two characters on your team (green, blue, yellow, or red) and two CPU players, against or teamed with each other, and four thugs. Now fight in any arena. Magnus has excellent combos and is really powerful. Dagan is also good, but his moves are slow. You can do a move where Magnus will take his sword and shoot blue flames precisely like Phade; rotate the Left Analog-stick in either direction. After you beat up at least nine to ten rounds, you will fight Zaugg. While fghting Zaugg (with any character) start to slash and hack at his legs. In time, he will fall down. Attack him, but watch out as he will grab you and slam you onto the ground. If he tries that, just jump or evade from that move.
