It’s time to join the field of battle in DRAGON BALL FUSIONS! 

It’s now time to get into the Battle System! 

Today, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe comes back with a new gameplay video for DRAGON BALL FUSIONS. And it’s now time to get into the Battle System!

A Dragon Ball game without gravity-defying duels between champions is no Dragon Ball game at all, and DRAGON BALL FUSIONS is no exception! In this new video, you will discover all the secrets of the Battle System.

First, the principle of the Attack Triangle – Speed prevails over Power, Power prevails over Technique and Technique prevails over Speed – will help you to choose wisely your target before striking it with different Standard, Ki and Special Attacks. Then, the timeline, at the bottom of the screen, is showing you the next character who will perform an action. Pay close attention to this feature! If this character takes damage, he/she will move slightly left and another character may take his/her place. It’s then time to pull out the field your enemies with team combos and chain reactions. But attack is not the only matter, you also have to defend yourself! Guess where your enemies will strike to block them and reduce the incoming damage.

Stay tuned, the last gameplay video will come soon, showing off all you need to know about the Fusions!

DRAGON BALL FUSIONS will be coming to Europe, Middle East and Australasian territories on February 17^th 2017 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS handheld system.

Summon legends from Fire Emblem past and present in this original free-to-start strategy-RPG based on the long-running Nintendo franchise

3^rd February 2017 – The next Nintendo mobile adventure is out now in the form of Fire Emblem Heroes, an original strategy-RPG about two warring kingdoms in a bitter clash. As a summoner, players build their army by calling upon Fire Emblem heroes from worlds that span the breadth of the series.

Leading the army is simple thanks to easy touch and drag controls, including the ability to attack by simply swiping an ally hero over an enemy.
