"Bravery attacks" refers to acts or behaviors that demonstrate courage or fearlessness in the face of challenges or difficult situations.
Full definition
It follows then that if you can launch
several bravery attacks from a distance to quell their attack power and then move in with some HP attacks, you will be able to move in hard and fast as their attacking power will be disabled and you can attack without fear of injury.
The heavy brawler features slow but fearsome attacks with a few
ranged bravery attacks thrown in for good measure.
How am I supposed to know that Cloud can perform a ranged
bravery attack by being on the ground, pulling backwards on the analog stick, and tapping circle?
Bravery attacks increase your own Bravery (a number above your health that goes up or down depending on if you are attacking or taking hits), while HP attacks inflict damage onto your enemy's health that is equal to the attacker's Bravery.
Admittedly, this isn't the deepest strategic element, but I found that hitting opponents with waves
of bravery attacks before even touching their HP was a great way to finish a battle in a hurry.
Squall, for example, has seven
different bravery attacks that are based upon whether he is airborne or on the ground, and what direction the analog stick is being pushed when circle is pressed.
The idea is to target players
using bravery attacks to decrease their lethality, and build up your own to unleash devastating HP attacks that eliminate players.
Attacks are split into two categories —
bravery attacks and HP attacks.
To damage enemies players must use
bravery attacks to build up power and break creatures» defenses.
So, finding the proper balance between HP and
bravery attacks is essential.
Thus, the player must perform several
Bravery attacks to steal Bravery points from the opponent so as to increase the power of their HP attack, as Bravery attacks do not cause any damage.
In addition to
bravery attacks, you can also perform hit attacks, which will damage the other player's hit points, but will not net you any extra bravery points.
Each character is able to collect bravery points from the environment or by attacking their opponent with
a bravery attack.
While these attacks are great for slowly wearing away an enemy, if you are really looking to finish off your opponent in style, you can use
Bravery attacks, which are mapped to the circle button.
You still have
Bravery attacks that built up damage values and HP attacks to deal damage to opponents, but the dynamics of skirmishes is completely different from before.
Bravery attacks will lower the opponent's bravery score and increase your own, but they can't be used to eliminate players and have no effect on their health pool.
HP and
bravery attacks are each limited to one button (square for HP and circle for bravery), but positioning and other factors will unleash a variety of moves.
Holding
the Bravery attack button (and a direction, for certain moves) «charges» the attacks, making them hit harder and do a substantially higher amount of damage.
