Before Playing FAQ

What does being a Zoanthrope actually mean?

Zoanthropes in-game are a genetically engineered race of fighters who can physically transmute human bodies (at will) into half-human, half-animal warriors—inherently connecting them deeply with various beasts.

Do transformations change move sets or only appearance?

Beast transformation not only alters appearance dramatically but also unlocks entirely new attack animations (known as 'Beast Drives'), expands the health bar into 'Hyper Healing', enhances movement speeds, overall strength stats for combos but at cost of rapidly draining special points bar upon activation unless recharged

Does combo system allow big link juggling chains like in more famous fighting games?

Yes it does offer very distinct 'launcher - air hit' techniques: especially in beast mode where some aerial combos become possible that launch enemies into bounceable states, allowing skilled experts follow up with super specials that deplete enemy health massively in a short window

If beast gauge fills, is it just for one transformation move and then is gone? That seems unbalanced, no?

Good question! Actually full beast gauge is split into 3 sections — each part can get spent to initiate super version of a character move like 'Beast Rush', or you spend one segment and transform for overall period. A depleted gauge can recharge over time through successful blocks/landed hits during non-beast state for tactical strategy.
