Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy shifts the franchise's traditional fantasy focus to modern-day Tokyo, tasking players with forming teams of iconic heroes like Cloud Strife and Lightning to repel invading evils. Available now on iOS and Android, the game features 3v3 competitive multiplayer and co-operative monster battles.
Mastering the 3v3 Auto-Battler Mechanics
In Dissidia Duellum, you control one character in a three-person team. Your primary goal is to defeat monsters, purify crystals, and collect Bravery. Movement is controlled via the thumb pad; approaching an enemy triggers automatic attacks, while tapping the pad increases attack speed and power. Swiping upward activates specific abilities from your UI.
To handle boss enemies, you must trigger Bravery Burst. This ability empowers your regular attacks for a limited time. For maximum efficiency, activate your special abilities in sequence before triggering Bravery Burst to extend the empowered effect.
Optimizing Your Early Game
New players should prioritize these steps to establish a strong roster and skill set:
- Utilize Free Draws: After the tutorial, you are granted free ability and hero draws. Use the 'Retry' button to reroll these until you get items that suit your starting character.
- Select Your Starter Wisely: You can choose between Warrior of Light, Cloud Strife, Lightning, and Terra Branford. While this choice impacts your early play, you will quickly acquire more heroes through draws.
- Revisit Tutorials: If you need a refresher on game systems, navigate to Settings > Help. You can re-watch battle tutorial videos and read detailed definitions for abilities and mechanics.
- Stick to Solo Challenges: If competitive multiplayer feels too demanding initially, play through the Challenges section. It provides a safer environment to hone your skills and earn progression rewards like Job Medals.
