WARRIOR BARD

ALPHA TEST · expect rough edges and balance changes

The kingdom's soldiers are gone. Only an old bard is left to meet the undead army, and his song is the only weapon the people have. Strike on the beat to play the song; the better you keep the rhythm, the harder the music hits.

HOW TO PLAY

THE RHYTHM

The band always plays, but the melody only sounds when you strike on the beat. Watch the rhythm bar at the bottom: hit as the markers meet the middle.
Perfect hits hit hardest, build your combo and fill the Legend meter. Off-beat hits fizzle and break the combo. Each beat counts once: mashing doesn't help.
A full Legend meter calls the spirit of a hero of old to sweep the field.
