 So we actually don't have our full level selection to start off. We only have the one, as this level is serving as the proper tutorial for the gameplay. As now that Gunvolt is tagging along, Kirin can now perform the Arc Chain, where after tagging an enemy with her talisman, she can zip to them at lightning speed to attack them. This is your main method of attacking, traversal, as well as scoring Kudos, as the name of the game for scoring high is defeating multiple enemies at once without touching the ground, a little combination of Gunvolt and Copen's scoring systems.

Speaking of Gunvolt, you are able to switch to him as well, and his gameplay's gotten a bit of an overhaul. Gunvolt is constantly at full power, like he's in Anthem mode from the previous games. He can jump and air dash infinitely, Prevasion is always active and the Flashfield is passive like Copen's old one. His main method of attack is still Tag and Zap, but now he can tag by dashing into enemies, again like Copen, and if he dashes into an enemy that's already tagged, he will dash through them and damage them. And if the enemy has 3 tags, he will suplex them with the devastating Voltaic Buster. Unfortunately, thanks to all this power that he's got, Gunvolt is only playable for a limited time, as once the Fetters Gauge at the top goes to 0, you automatically change back to Kirin. And so far, there's nothing in the game that turns him into a fully playable character. Shame, really.

Anyway, our first Primal Dragon that we're hunting down is Black Badge, or BB for short, who is really angry at all these couples having a good time on Christmas. So we gotta put the kibosh on that. Put putting the kibosh on him actually doesn't involve killing him, and pulling a cue from another certain Mega Man-like game, after BB is defeated, he is recruited to the team and is now a part of the ensemble. Speaking of taking cues from Mega Man, Kirin will learn new abilities after fighting other Adepts, much like Zero does.
