Sonic Frontiers, which will be available on the Nintendo Switch and other platforms starting next month, now has a new video from SEGA.
The new clip gives additional information and footage regarding the fighting and upgrading systems in the game, particularly the Skill Tree system that enables Sonic to enhance his existing skills and unlock new ones. Naturally, it also demonstrates how Sonic can defeat foes and bosses with these skills while providing us a better view of some of the game’s settings.
Combat & Upgrades
Sonic Frontiers reinvents the action-adventure and platforming genres by combining lightning-quick movement with intense fighting.
Skill Tree and Upgrades
Sonic now has a skill tree with a ton of new, intriguing, and potent abilities to master.
You must gather enough Skill Pieces from defeated foes and breakable objects scattered around the islands in order to unlock new talents.
Beginning with a Homing Attack, Drop Dash, and Stomp, Sonic also has his usual move set available to him. While these techniques work well against common adversaries, if you wish to face the larger and more powerful monsters that await you in the Starfall Islands, you’ll need to level up and acquire new talents.
The enemies on subsequent islands are much more challenging than a typical foe on Kronos Island, so make sure you’re gathering the Red and Blue Seeds of Power and Defense to improve your stats and give yourself a fighting chance.
Combinations and Powers
Your adversaries evolve as the game goes on and Sonic levels up. Combining combinations with a new ability called Phantom Rush makes it possible to get the upper hand in combat.
When Sonic engages foes in a series of attacks, his combo meter will fill. When the combo meter reaches its maximum value, Phantom Rush kicks in, increasing your attack strength until the meter is completely depleted.
Use Sonic Boom, a long-range, high-speed kick that sends shockwaves towards the adversary, to do a ton of damage in a short period of time.
The Wild Rush strike, a showy zigzagging move that brings you crashing into your target with incredible power, is another way to deal massive damage to your adversaries. It’s a quick and fashionable approach to do heavy damage to your adversaries while dodging oncoming fire.
Cyloop
In Sonic Frontiers, certain foes are shielded or have barriers around them. Deal as much damage as you can before their shield rises again after Cyloop breaks it.
Simply utilize the Cyloop ability on the ground to gather additional rings and rejoin the battle if your adversary manages to hurt you.
Guardians
You’ll need to research your opponents before a fight to decide how to approach them most effectively.
You will need to use more than just your homing strike in encounters with Guardians. Many of them demand that you first interact with their distinctive battle mechanisms before attempting to attack their weak point.
You can use any talent from the Skill Tree that has been unlocked once you have an opening.
You may easily beat your enemies by experimenting with new skills and learning their weaknesses.
Parry
Utilize parry during fight to turn your adversaries’ movements against them.
You can tell when an adversary is going to attack through a visual signal. You can parry it and launch your own counterattack if you respond soon enough.
You have a ton of possibilities to develop into the most powerful force in the frontier by using all these abilities and more. Learn the art of warfare, and educate your adversaries to stay away from Sonic the Hedgehog!
