Beginner Guide
Learn the core combat loop, status ailments, and signal skills that power tag-team combat in Orbis.
1. The Combat Loop
DragonSword: Awakening uses a four-step tag-team loop: apply a Status Ailment with Active Skills, trigger a Signal Skill to detonate it, switch heroes mid-combo, then finish or extend the chain.
2. Status Ailments
The nine launch ailments are Stun, Down, Airborne, Break, Burn, Chill, Poison, Shock, and Bleed. Each hero applies and consumes specific ailments, so team building is about matching those directions.
3. Unlocking Heroes
All 19 launch heroes are unlocked through gameplay — no gacha. The protagonist Lute joins during the opening story; other heroes follow through main chapters and Hero Quests.
