Tome 57

Tome 57 is an created by Existence Software and based upon Koei Tecmo's Warriors franchise. The game combines a variety of different franchises and places them in a large scale story. It is the first title in the ⌭Saga.
In regards to the overall story of the ⌭Saga, Tome 57 is the second title in the series chronologically. Omen 76 takes place before and during the events of Tome 57, placing it slightly before it.
The game features cutscenes with art by Mino Taro (三野 太郎), who is best known as the character designer of the Nintendo DS dating simulator LovePlus. All cutscenes are fully voice acted, with Japanese and English dual-audio and subtitles available; though some characters may only speak one such language regardless of setting.
== Gameplay ==
=== Attacking ===
Tome 57 is an action beat 'em up spin-off of Koei Tecmo's long-running Warriors titles. Unlike many other games, but like the Warriors franchise, players must take on large hoards of enemies at a single time, as opposed to one-on-one or small groups. In order to combat enemies, players must use various combo attacks, primarily done through combinations of buttons. Every character has a unique weapon (or weapons, in some cases), each with its own set of combo attacks.
There are two major types of attacks. There are standard attacks and more powerful "strong attacks". Standard attacks do little damage, but can be chained together for combos, while the strong attacks end combos with more powerful attacks.
Defeating enemies (or collecting certain power-ups) fills up the yellow Special Attack gauge. Once filled completely, the player can unleash an incredibly strong attack known as a Special Attack. Special Attacks deal more damage than strong attacks, and usually cover an extended range. However, there exists a fourth attack that can be activated through the Darkness Gauge. Upon filling the Darkness Gauge completely, the player can activate Awakening. In Awakening mode, the character's attacks and movements are quickened for a short duration of time, with every attack dealing 2x its normal damage output. After the Darkness Gauge fully drains, the character will activate an attack known as an Apocalypse Attack, though pressing the Special Attack button any time during the duration of Awakening mode can also activate a slightly weakened variant of this attack. The Darkness Gauger is filled by doing combos, with the amount filled being determined by the longevity of the combo.
Another big part of the attacking process is the ability to lock on to enemies. Larger enemies with more health, or other Warriors, can be locked-on to. While locked-on to an enemy, the camera will rotate around so the player is always capable of seeing that enemy.
Every warrior has its own unique weapon(s) with which they can fight enemies. Weapons can be categorized into one of several different Elements, with each type having different attributes that affect their attacks.
* weapons deal out more damage, and certain attacks will light enemies on fire when defeated, creating explosions as they land.
* weapons have a larger range of attack, and have a better chance of breaking through an opposing warrior's defences.
* weapons increase the amount of damage and knockback dealt to airborne enemies, and may temporarily stun foes on the ground.
* weapons have attacks that will cause fighters to take small amounts of damage over time that can not defeat enemies but lower their health to 1 HP.
* weapons increase the amount of damage dealt to opponents depending on the amount of enemies the warrior's attack hits; with the more enemies that are attacked at once increasing the damage output.
* weapons increase the amount of damage dealt to opponents depending on the amount of enemies the warrior's attack hits; with the fewer enemies that are attacked at once increasing the damage output.
* weapons increase the amount of damage dealt to opponents depending on their current KO count. In addition, enemies that are defeated may occasionally fill the warrior's Darkness Gauge as opposed to Special Attack Gauge.
=== Defending ===
While attacking enemies is a large part of the gameplay, being defensive is also important as to conserve health so one is not defeated. The warrior can take on a defensive stance, which lowers the amount of damage taken as long as the guard is not broken by stronger attacks. The player can dodge in any direction, which, if timed correctly, can be used to fully avoid taking damage from attacks.
Warriors can also sprint, which is activated after running for a short while. While sprinting through large hoards of weaker enemies, the chances of being attacked by weaker enemies are decreased, as their attack animations are usually slow enough to miss the player. Warriors are also capable of jumping, with each weapon having a single string of aerial combos, and a strong attack that throws them back to the ground.
=== Skill Cards ===
Players can equip every warrior with up to three Skill Cards in-between each battle. Skill Cards can boost the warrior's stats, grant them additional properties, or, in some cases, alter the elemental damage that their weapon deals. Though each warrior may only have three Skill Cards, they also have a Power Limit that can not be passed; doing so will instead reverse the effects of all Skill Cards placed on them if saved. A warrior's Power Limit is unique to them, and it increases as they are levelled up.
There are two types of Skill Cards: permanent and temporary. Temporary Skill Cards are destroyed upon the completion of a battle, while permanent Skill Cards remain attached to a warrior until changed out. All Skill Cards can be found on the battlefield, and are earned by defeating enemies. Players can also fuse Skill Cards using the money they earn from defeating foes in order to create new Skill Cards.

=== Drops ===
Enemies may drop various items when they are defeated. The items they drop have a variety of different properties. Items can also be collected by destroying crates that can be found in different spots of the map.
Drop 	Description
Skill Cards 	Enemies will drop Skill Cards when defeated. These Skill Cards can not be viewed by the player until they complete the mission, with all collected Skill Cards being displayed once it is finished. Should the player fail the mission, they will lose all of the collected Skill Cards. Rarer Skill Cards are dropped more frequently on higher difficulty levels.
Heart 	Hearts restore health when collected. The larger the heart is, the more health it will restore. Some enemies may also drop black hearts, which deal damage instead of healing the player, or white hearts, which fully heal the player.
Weapons 	Enemies may also drop new weapons for warriors to use. These weapons have different star levels, from to with the more stars signifying an increase in attack strength. All weapons have three variants that continue to increase in power, with each weapon type having different star levels.
Dust Crystal 	Dust Crystals will, when collected, fill the warrior's Special Attack gauge by a small amount. Larger crystals have a rarer chance of being dropped by enemy warriors that will completely fill the warrior's Special Attack gauge.
Liquid Divinium	Liquid Divinium fills the warrior's Darkness Gauge a small amount. Larger vials can also appear, and they will completely fill the Darkness Gauge. Unlike Dust Crystals, Liquid Divinium vials will only appear out of crates and while larger vials will be dropped by enemy bosses.
Johnny Gat Mask	A large helmet of Johnny Gat's face may rarely be dropped by enemy warriors. The Johnny Gat Mask nullifies a single hit of damage, before falling off the warrior's head. Additionally, while wearing the Johnny Gat Mask, the Special Attack gauge will fill at a faster rate.
Gold Flower 	Transforms all nearby enemies into Gold Goombas.

== Story ==
The story primarily centres around Lana, though several side stories exist to tell the events of the other characters who exit the main story for a time.
=== Main Story ===
Eons ago there existed the ancient order of the Keepers, an extraterrestrial species that seemingly had control over the known and unknown universes. Part of this society was corrupted by the dark Aether, and, after being sealed away for millennia, would mutate into the deadly Apothicon race, devoid of any connection to their former brethren. The "Shadowman", an emissary of the Apothicons, does their bidding, unleashing chaos throughout all known universes solely for the sake of creating chaos.
After the events of Revelations (Call of Duty: Black Ops III), the Shadowman, and the Apothicon race, are banished from the "perfect world" created by Doctor Monty. The Shaowman, not contempt with the outcome of his plan, intends to seek revenge on his former friend, Monty, and tears apart the fabric of reality using another dimension's Summoning Key in order to create chaos and increase his power. Destroying any universe he comes across, he mutates himself with the dark energy contained within each dimension.
One of these dimensions is the Mushroom Kingdom. He invades this dimension, and insights chaos by empowering the mighty Bowser with dark energy. Fuelled with power and with the assistance, he attacks Princess Peach in his "greatest" attempt to kidnap her. As Mario and Luigi are currently assisting E. Gadd in Evershade Valley, Peach and Daisy step up to protect themselves from Bowser, and manage to successfully push him back from the castle grounds and the racecourse surrounding it. Feeding from the chaos of the battle and the hate emitting from both forces, the Shadowman begins to tear apart the universe. Coming to a truce, Peach's Forces and the Koopa Troop team up to stop the Shadowman, but are quickly defeated, and the Shadowman destroys their reality.
Before they can be erased from existence alongside their world, Bowser, Peach, Daisy, and Birdo are transported away by Lana, the Hyrulean Guardian of Time. Lana explains to them about the Shadowman, and she tells them that they should be safe in the realm that she created. Instead of cowering, Peach, Daisy, and Bowser insist that they assist Lana, and she reluctantly brings the three of them along to her next destination: Excavation Site 64, to find Doctor Maxis and learn the whereabouts of this dimension's Summoning Key.
After reaching the Dig Site, the four find Edward Richtofen surrounded by a hoard of Zombies and Wendigo. They plan to confront Richtofen and learn the whereabouts of Ludvig Maxis, though to do this they must first save him from his situation. After they manage to push back the undead and re-capture the Dig Site, Richtofen reveals that Maxis had begged him to place his brain in a drone, and he and three comrades had managed to do that. He also reveals that he has come back to France to find the Kronorium, which Lana has in her possession. Richtofen attempts to kill Lana, but Bowser saves her and he and the princesses subdue Richtofen. Lana explains the current situation and about the Shadowman, and Richtofen agrees to assist them should he be able to read the Kronorium afterwards. After they come to terms, Richtofen reveals the location of the Summoning Key: Morg City.
Though Lana manages to teleport the group to Morg City, she is fatigued from the sudden increase in using magic, and must rest. Unfortunately for her, Morg City is filled with enemies and the large King Dodongo, whom they must deal with so they can locate the Summoning Key. Though they slowly manage to drive the monsters from the centre of the city and defeat King Dodongo, they can not locate the Summoning Key. Before they can find the artifact, a man appears in front of them, calling herself Ryoko Asakura. Ryoko fights the group, telling them that she has orders to test the group. Though Lana is the most powerful she refuses as she is not at full strength, and the others decide to fight in her stead. After Ryoko is defeated, a man named Heartseed appears to face them both, alongside two girls: Himeko Inaba and Yui Kiriyama.
He explains that the Shadowman seems to target the universes with the most amount of chaos, and that his next target is Hyrule, which is currently at war against Ganondorf. Lana explains to him about how she has used most of her power, and can no longer transport them, no matter how much she wishes to. With some hesitation, Heartseed transports them all to Gerudo Desert, where Princess Zelda and Link are currently facing off against Ganondorf. Lana joins them quickly, explaining to them that her absence will be explained in time. Until then, Lana and her small group team up with the Hylians to defeat Ganondorf and his minions. Before they can take on Ganondorf however, the Shadowman appears, and attempts to kill Ganondorf. As only the Master Sword can kill him, Ganondorf retaliates, and is surprised when Lana and her group come to his aid. Zelda and Link, not sure as to what's going on, also join them, and together they manage to fight the Shadowman and weaken him. Though he is not defeated, his powers are weakened, and he disappears to restore his health. Likewise, Lana's powers are weakened, and she needs to rest as well. Using the last of her strength, Lana sends out a beacon, calling for assistance, to which Palutena responds almost immediately.
Palutena whisks the group away to Skyworld, and she reports to them the situation surrounding the universe. Although Pit was sucked into a portal, she is able to monitor his current location through her powers. She tells them that he is currently in a city known as Akihabara, and she sends Lana's group to assist him, though keeps Lana behind so she can recover her strength.
While in Akihabara, Edward Richtofen quickly takes charge of the small group, and order them in combat against the monsters that flood the streets. Though not difficult to defeat, the monsters never cease their attack, and the group eventually retreats into a nearby cafe known as May Queen Nyan-Nyan, where they find Pit and a handful of people that he has saved in the vicinity: Itsuki Aoi, Tsubasa Oribe, Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, Kyoko Sakura, Sayaka Miki, and Suzuha Amane; Suzuha having initially saved Pit from a group of monsters. The group, now larger, work together to push back the enemies and eventually come face-to-face with a massive Troll Kong that is ravaging the electric city. Though the Troll Kong almost defeats them due to its large size and powerful attacks, they are saved by a man calling himself the Outsider.
After a brief introduction, the Outsider takes Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, and Suzuha Amane away with him, assuming them to be the strongest warriors, and thus able to assist him in bringing down the wounded Troll Kong while the others escape; presumably before more Troll Kongs appear. While initially unwilling to go with him, the Outsider gets Suzuha and Homura to come with him after explaining to them that he needs their knowledge of time travel; though Madoka needs no reason to go other than because Homura is willing to. → 
Meanwhile, Richtofen and the others, having successfully escaped Akihabara, are brought back to Skyworld by Palutena, who tells them of even more scattered survivors, and tasks Lana to continue rescuing them until they can pinpoint the Shadowman's location. Lana agrees, though explains that her powers are dwindling due to extended use and that she needs a rest. Palutena then decides to split Lana's groups into three separate teams to accomplish this faster: one led by Pit, one by Edward Richtofen, and one by Yui Kiriyama. Palutena also promises Sayaka and Kyoko that she will keep tabs on the Outsider and protect Madoka, Homura, and Suzuha should she need to.
At this point, the three groups split up to rescue three specific individuals that Lana is looking for, who may know of ways to bring down the Shadowman. Palutena sends Pit to find Allen Walker, an exorcist whose powerful Innocence may be able to defeat the Shadowman; Edward Richtofen to find Ludger Will Kresnik, whose powers of Chromatus may be able to restore the fractured universes to the way they were before; and Yui Kiriyama to find Korosensei, who would be able to tire the Shadowman out due to being near-indestructible. The player can choose to follow the different groups in any order.
Palutena sends Pit, Link, Zelda, Peach, and Daisy to Skyloft, where the Goddess of Light detects a strong source of Innocence likely emitting from Allen or another Exorcist of his calibre. Though the area they are sent to is peaceful, the Shadowman soon appears and reveals that he had created the false source of Innocence to draw in Palutena, intending to kill her to steal her powers. Disappointed in how things played out, he summons Nihilego and Lusamine to deal with the small group. Lusamine, who continues to search for Lillie to get her hands on Nebby, eagerly accepts the Shadowman's orders, as she believes him to know of Nebby's location. Though they are able to defeat Lusamine, they are unable to defeat Nihilego, as its powers grow too strong. However, before they are defeated, Allen Walker and Lenalee Lee appear to aid them, reporting that they thought the large amount of Innocence was related to Akuma. Together they are able to weaken Nihilego enough for it and Lusamine to flee, and the former summons a group of monsters to cover it as it can heal.
Meanwhile, Richtofen, Itsuki, Tsubasa, Bowser, and Birdo are sent to Nia Khera. They are not surprised to see an army of monsters attacking the town and its townsfolk, and quickly attempt to drive away the enemies so they can go look for Ludger. Before they can do anything, the Shadowman appears and transports Itsuki, Tsubasa, and Bowser away, leaving only Richtofen and Birdo to deal with the army. Though Richtofen is reluctant to believe that the pink dinosaur will be of any help, he decides to trust in her strength and the two begin to fend off the enemy forces. As they begin to clear out the enemies in the village, they are surprised when a large Dragon appears, and a group of warriors are already duelling with it. As the Dragon draws closer to the village, Richtofen and Birdo aid the small team (consisting of Jude Mathis, Milla Maxwell, and Leia Rolando). Though they can defeat the Dragon, they are shocked to see it being ordered by the head of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, Adolf Hitler. Richtofen, recognizing his fuhrer, doubts his ability to fight the German leader, but knowing that doing so is for the greater good, he and Hitler duel one-on-one as the others make sure the Dragon is down for good.
Itsuki, Tsubasa, and Bowser find themselves transported to Lake Epsilla, where Ludger Will Kresnik, Elle Mel Marta, and Alvin find them. Alvin explains that they too were separated from their friends, though they are unable to leave Lake Epsilla due to an invisible barrier. While they initially begin to lose hope, Ludger remembers that there were ruins located underneath a Fractured version of Lake Epsilla; and believes there may be some way out of their purgatory through there. However, before they can see if the ruins are there, a portal opens up and they are forcibly dragged into a Fractured Dimension, one where the Fractured Milla Maxwell that they had befriended is fighting an army of monsters in the very ruins they had decided to check out. Elle, though unable to fight, cries out to Milla, and Ludger and the rest quickly go to protect Elle and assist Milla, who is shocked to see them again.
The final group - Yui Kiriyama, Himeko Inaba, Ganondorf, Sayaka Miki, and Kyoko Sakura - are sent to Towa City. Expecting their target (Korosensei) to be a human and hard to track down, they are surprised when they instead find two girls and a large yellow octopus-like creature fighting off an army of the Shadowman's goons, led by the large and disgusting King Famardy. The yellow octopus introduces himself as Korosensei, and his two companions as Toko Fukawa and Komaru Naegi. Yui and Himeko decide to work with Komaru and Toko in order to clear a path to Famardy so that the others can take him down and hopefully stop the flow of monsters, but are unprepared for when Inferno Cop stands in their way. Though Inferno Cop is strong, the four girls take the policeman down and work to keep the flow of monsters away from the others as they defeat Famardy.
After the three groups retrieve their targets, Palutena returns them all to Skyworld. Deciding that they now have the necessary power to take on the Shadow Man with a chance of success, Palutena reveals the Shadow Man's location and agrees to transport everyone there in order to take them down. All but Lana, who is still recovering. → 
Being the only one left over, Lana escapes Skyworld, wanting to assist them in some way, knowing full well that using too much of her power could kill her. As she transports herself out of Skyworld, she finds herself in a place known as The Aether, where she meets one Dr. Monty. Dr. Monty explains to her that the Shadow Man can not be effectively killed without an artifact known as the Kronorium, which Monty believes was destroyed during the fight between the Shadow Man, Takeo Masaki, Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, and Edward Richtofen.
Monty then teleports himself away, claiming that he planted the seeds needed for the Shadow Man's defeat, and thus his role has ended. Leaving Lana in The Aether, she quickly comes face-to-face with an army of different monsters that Monty unknowingly held back with his mere presence. Leading these monsters is Thanatos, whose presence increases the enemies morale to significant levels. Due to her weakened state, she is unable to defeat Thanatos by herself, but is saved from death by those who went away with The Outsider: Madoka, Homura, and Suzuha. They explain nothing to Lana, only coming in to assist her before disappearing once more alongside The Outsider, leaving Lana trapped alone within a deteriorating Aether.
Meanwhile, Palutena and co., who had gone off to defeat the Shadow Man, take him on in the campus of Hakoniwa Academy, which had long since been evacuated. The group finds the Shadow Man, who has tricked three young girls - Mizuki Himeji, Minami Shimada, and Medaka Kurokami - into acting as his puppets, and they fight to keep the others at bay while the Shadow Man performs a ritual to summon Zygarde, whose power he intends to steal. After each of the three girls are defeated and the situation is properly explained to them, they join Palutena's army and agree to fight the Shadow Man too; though he disappears once he loses control of them, leaving behind a 50% completed Zygarde who quickly attacks them. After they defeat the Zygarde, they return to Skyworld to regroup, learning that Lana had disappeared sometime while they were gone.
Using her powers, Palutena is quickly able to discover roughly where Lana is and she learns that The Aether is incredibly unstable and ready to collapse at any moment, making her hesitant to send anyone to assist Lana directly. Both Milla Maxwells come up with the idea of trying to use the Four Great Spirits - Efreet, Undine, Sylph, and Gnome - the "prime" Milla controls to create a temporary sanctum to send Lana (and, unknowingly, every other person trapped within a deteriorating world) where they could rescue her without such a harsh time limit (though one would still be present as the Great Spirits would be unable to keep this world whole for long). Reluctantly, Palutena agrees, and sends a small group of warriors - Edward Richtofen, Korosensei, Link, Sayaka Miki, Kyoko Sakura, and Pit - into this dimension; she only sends these five as it would allow the Great Spirits to keep their world stable longer than should all of them travel into it. These five agree to go, and are transported into this world - Regal Island.
The six warriors are sent by Milla and Palutena to Regal Island, where they are immediately pitted up against a large army of enemies with a Garara Gator at its head. They manage to disperse the threat and gain some breathing room, but are unable to find Lana, or anyone else. They decide to split up into two groups in order to cover more ground faster- Richtofen, Pit, and Link go east, while Kyoko, Sayaka, and Korosensei west.
=== Outsider Story ===
=== Pericles Story ===
== Characters ==
=== Warriors ===
There are 114 playable characters - "warriors" - that appear in the game. Each warrior has their own set of weapons, each with their own combos.
=== Communicators ===
Every army has its own communicator, who can provide various bonuses to the generals in their armies. Communicators do not fight, only speaking to the warriors and praising their efforts. Communicators do not have a role in the main story, and only appear in Free Mode. It can be assumed that, like Slippy, they exist in other universes but are in contact with the main characters.
Communicator 	Series 	Description
Airi 	Robotics;Notes 	Airi is an artificial intelligence program based off the appearance and personality of the sick Airi Yukifune. She is hardwired into the IRUO. network, and can only interact with her surroundings should such an area be in the database of IRUO.. She shares her body with the much more robotic Gezi, who is much more serious than the weather-obsessed Airi. Airi's troops have more HP than normal, though they deal less damage. She is voiced by Apphia Yu and Rie Kugimiya.
Frau Kojiro 	Robotics;Notes 	Kona Furugoori, primarily known by her alias of Frau Kojiro, is an anti-social programmer and the creator of the game Kill-Ballad. Due to her obsessive nature, she will often work non-stop on a project, even neglecting to sleep or eat until such project is completed. Frau's mother helped produce the television show Gunvarrel, and as such she is an over-protective fan of it. Though she can be serious at times, she is often a very perverted (and somewhat psychotic) girl, and this personality trait of her's often makes other characters uncomfortable. Frau's army captures Keeps at a faster speed, and they are harder for the opposing forces to take. She is voiced by Leah Clark and Kaori Nazuka.
Hades 	Kid Icarus 	Hades is the main antagonist of Kid Icarus: Uprising and the ruler of the Underworld, and one of the most powerful gods out of those that inhabit either Skyworld or the Underworld. The creator of many of the troops of the Underworld Army, he once revived Medusa in order to toy with Palutena and her Centurions (including Pit). Despite this, he gives of a nonchalant and playful demeanour, sarcasm coating all of his lines. Hades may occasionally aid his army by summoning in more of his Underworld troops when the army's morale is low or when they are failing objectives. He is voiced by S. Scott Bullock and Hōchū Ōtsuka.
K.K. Slider 	Animal Crossing 	K.K. Slider is a travelling musician and a major recurring character in the Animal Crossing series, giving the player the music that they can later play in their houses. Though he tries to be helpful, K.K. Slider audibly speaks the Animalese language that no other character can understand (with subtitles for the player), leading to humorous conversations between the other characters as they try and figure out what he's saying. K.K. Slider's music can boost the speed stat of his army's warriors, allowing them to run and attack at faster speeds.
Koto 	Yu Yu Hakusho 	Koto is somewhat of an idol in both the Human and Demon Worlds of Yu Yu Hakusho, and serves as a referee for many of the Demon World's largest tournaments. She is a cheerful and upbeat D- class Demon, who has a bit of a sadistic side to her even though she still gets somewhat scared when more powerful foes unleash their full power. She is very dedicated to her job, memorizing every rule needed to do it to perfection. Koto's army does not have any special attributes, though she is very talkative. She is voiced by Amber Cotton and Ai Orikasa.
Kurisu Makise 	Steins;Gate 	Kurisu Makise is a genius 18 year-old student studying at Viktor Chondria University's Institute of Neuroscience, working alongside Maho Hiyajo to create Amadeus, an artificial intelligence based upon her (and Maho's) own memories. After travelling to Tokyo and joining the Future Gadget Lab, she is also the creator of the "Phonewave (name subject to change)", which can be used to send messages into the past. Kurisu will use the Phonewave (name subject to change) and send a D-mail to prevent a warrior's defeat should they run out of health; though she will only do this once. She is voiced by Trina Nishimura and Asami Imai.
Lin Lee Koo 	Xenoblade Chronicles 	Lin Lee Koo is a thirteen year-old highly-respected engineer of BLADE involved with the creation of the giant robotic Skells that BLADE members use in combat. Linly and Tatsu - a Nopon she is tasked with keeping track of, much to her dismay - often poke fun at each other, mainly due to Lin's dislike of him. She is a genius, and very sociable, easily being able to befriend Cross after their stasis was ended. Lin can boost the defence stat of her army's warriors, decreasing the amount of damage they take from attacks. She is voiced by Cassandra Lee Morris and Mariya Ise.
Monokuma 	Danganronpa 	Monokuma is a robot bear created by Junko Enoshima with the sole purpose of spreading despair. Monokuma is a sadist obsessed with murder, yet has a playful side to him too. He likes to mock and poke fun of the warrior he is supposedly aiding; his ability mirrors that, in that he lowers the morale of his allied troops and decreases the amount of damage the warrior(s) deals, thus making the scenario more challenging than it normally would. Monokuma is voiced by Brian Beacock and Tarako.
Rise Kujikawa 	Persona 	Rise Kujikawa is one of the party members of Persona 4. She is a famous idol who goes by Risette, who eventually returns to her hometown of Inaba and is thrown into the Midnight Channel to face her Shadow.

Though she puts up a perky and cheerful appearance, she is a very conniving woman who will do anything to come out on top. She will increase the amount of hearts that her enemies drop when defeated. Ruruka is voiced by Jād Saxton and Inori Minase.
Samantha Maxis	Call of Duty 	Samantha Maxis is a young girl who is capable of controlling the zombies created by Group 935 by using the pyramidal MPD located on the Moon. Despite not making a physical appearance often, she is a major character in the Zombies mode of Treyarch's Call of Duty games. Samantha can boost the attack power of a faction's foot soldiers, but it also lowers the defence of the warriors of her army. Samantha is voiced by Grace Kaufman.
Sarge 	Red vs. Blue 	Sarge is the aggressive, egotistical, illogical, and somewhat insane leader of the Red Team stationed in Blood Gulch. He is extremely eccentric, and comes up with needlessly complicated (and violent) solutions for any problem that may arise. Sarge seems to genuinely care for very few things, the sole exception being the shotgun he is always carrying. Sarge will temporarily double his faction's attack power (though decrease their morale) by yelling at them when they're doing poorly in battle. He is voiced by Matt Hullum.
Shiki Misaki 	The World Ends With You	Shiki Misaki is a caring and upbeat girl and a Player in the Shibuya Reaper's Game. She is Neku Sakuraba's first Partner in the Reaper's Game, and sacrificed her appearance - taking the appearance of her friend Eri - in exchange for being able to participate in the Game. Shiki's positive attitude boosts the morale of her troops, and makes it harder for their keeps to be lost. She is voiced by Heather Hogan and Anna Hachimine.
=== Enemies ===
Enemies are divided into several different classes.
* Foot Soldiers are the weakest type of enemy, and they spawn the most frequently. Most Foot Soldier units have three different variants: a normal variant, an artillery variant that uses projectiles, a Summoner variant that can summon more enemies around opposing warriors, and a Captain variant. Captain variants are simply Foot Soldiers that control outposts and small platoons; they deal more damage and have more health, but they are otherwise identical to the normal Foot Soldiers.
* Elite Soldiers are more powerful enemy units with a large amount of health. They act similarly to warriors, in that they have different combo attacks that can leave them open afterwards, though they only have (at most) three different combos. Elite Soldiers often act as Captains to larger platoons, and more powerful variants may also appear as Generals in certain missions.
* Special Units are units that do not fit into either of the above categories.
Enemy 	Series 	Description
Armight 	Super Smash Bros. 	Armight are large squid-like members of the Subspace Army that clutches two large swords. They fly above the ground, and will quickly rush an enemy warrior when they approach. They act as Elite units, and are difficult to deal with due to the fact that they typically remain airborne and away from ground-based combos. They have an ominous "ho ho ho!" laugh that rings out whenever they spot an enemy warrior.
Atlas Soldier 	RWBY 	The Atlas Soldiers are members of the Atlesian militant force. Depending on whether the soldier is a normal or artillery variant, they may wield either a small sword or a blaster capable of firing Dust-based projectiles. They are the only Foot Soldier type to not have a Summoner variant.
Atlesian Knight-200 	RWBY 	The Atlesian Knight-200 is a robotic Elite unit created by the Atlesian military to serve alongside their human units. These robots wield the same weapons as their human counterparts, though, as Elite Soldiers, they are much stronger and have more health. Unlike other Elite units, the Knights have a Summoner variant that can summon soldiers and other Atleasian Knights to their position.
Axe Beak 	Tales 	Axe Beak are large bird-like creatures with axe-shaped beaks. They are Elite Units, often acting as captains to lead small troops of enemies. They are close-combat fighters, though are very deadly due to their quick and powerful attacks.
Beach Trooper 	LEGO Star Wars 	The Beach Trooper is a variant of the LEGO Stormtrooper that does not wear any armour besides their helmets. The Beach Troopers, like their normal variants, are Elite Units that wield Z6 Batons. While they have less health than their armoured counterparts, the fact that their movements are not restricted by their armour allow them to move and attack faster and deal damage.
Beowolf 	RWBY 	Beowolf is a member of the Grimm family, an army of monstrous creatures that plague the world of Remnant. The Beowolf, despite its large size, is a normal enemy unit; in fact, the most powerful of all variants. Because of their abnormal strength and health for normal enemies, no artillery variants of the Beowolf exists.
Big Poe 	The Legend of Zelda	The Big Poe is, as its name implies, a large Poe creature. Cloaked in a large robe, they wield lanterns from which they can summon either orbs or streams of fire. They are Elite Units, though one of the weakest of their kind.
Bokoblin 	The Legend of Zelda	The Bokoblin is a small member of the -Blin family of enemies from the Zelda series. Normal enemies, Bokoblins mainly wield small clubs that they use to bash their foes, though their artillery variants instead wield bows.
Bombed 	Super Smash Bros. 	Bombed are normal enemies that debuted in the Subspace Emissary mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Both artillery and normal melee variants appear; normal Bombeds attack by swiping at warriors as they draw close, while artillery Bombeds throw their heads as bombs. Unlike most other normal enemy types, Bombeds can switch between artillery and melee variants at will, though some platoons will remain as only one type.
Boo 	Super Mario 	A Boo is a ghost-like creature that inhabits the Mushroom Kingdom. They are Elite Units, attacking with powerful magic attacks, and by attempting to lick and eat their foes. A pink variant, known as a Pink Boo, also exists, whose attacks have fire-elemental properties. Boos come in a variety of different sizes, and will deal more damage and have more HP the larger they are.
Browncoat Zombie 	Plants vs. Zombies 	A Browncoat Zombie is the most basic Zombie led by Dr. Zomboss. They are Foot Soldiers, who attack with weak slaps. Artillery and Summoner variants wear different objects (namely safety cones and buckets) on their heads; Artillery Browncoat Zombies throw balls of mud to attack from a distance.
Bulblin 	The Legend of Zelda	Bulblin are small ogre-like creatures that inhabited Hyrule during the Era of Twilight. They are foot soldiers, and may wield small clubs (normal variants), bows (artillery variants), or horns (summoner variants). They follow King Bulblin, and their captain variants resemble him.
Bumpety Bomb 	Kid Icarus 	A Bumpety Bomb is a large, explosive member of the Force of Nature. They are special enemies; they are summoned at times by armies to destroy barricades that could otherwise not be passed. They have extremely high defence, and, if defeated, they will explode; the explosion having a great radius.
Bytan 	Super Smash Bros. 	Bytan are small spherical special enemies. They are weak enemies, though they can endlessly multiply until they are defeated, making them a nuisance for players. They attack with simple tackles, lunging to try and take out their opponents.
Cacklebat 	Shantae 	Cacklebats are mutated Tinkerbats. Though classified as foot soldiers, they simply serve as the replacement for summoner Tinkerbats.
Cactuar 	Final Fantasy 	Cactuar is a special enemy type that acts independent from all other factions. Cactuars dish out insane amounts of damage, and are hidden in every story scenario. They have abnormal amounts of health, though always drop Rare (and, in some scenarios, Ultra Rare) Skill Cards. Though they lack projectile attacks, their speed is unmatched by any enemy, and should only be challenged by skilled players.
Captain Cutler 	Scooby-Doo! 	Captain Cutler, or the Ghost of Captain Cutler, is a ghostly green diving suit thought to be the ghost of Captain Cutler, who died in a shipwreck. Though there was only one Captain Cutler, he (or holograms of him, from Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights) is actually a class of Foot Soldier in Tome 57.
Clubberskull 	Kid Icarus 	Clubberskull is a member of the Underworld army, a creature created by Hades to invade Skyworld. They are large creatures that look similarly to hearts, with vein-like arms that end in skull-shaped claws. Clubberskulls are Elite Units, who fight with powerful swings that leave them wide open after they spin forwards.
Cyber Kong 	Donkey Kong 	Cyber Kong is a robotic ape-like creature modelled after the appearance of Donkey Kong. The Cyber Kongs are racers in Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast and are elite units that fight among several factions. They have strong close-ranged attacks, with long starting and ending lag for many of them. Once they are defeated, they will explode and release a flurry of banana peels, which will hurt anyone close enough to it.
Darknut 	The Legend of Zelda	A Darknut is a tall creature that wears a suit of black armour and wields a large sword that gets wider at its tip. Much taller than any of the warriors and an excellent swordsman, the Darknut is treated as an Elite Unit with powerful, albeit close-ranged attacks. Their appearances are based off the design of the boss of the Temple of Time dungeon from Twilight Princess.
<tabber>
Disco=
 Disco Zombie	 	
Plants vs. Zombies 	A Disco Zombie is a zombie dressed in groovy 70's disco attire. Unlike the Browncoat Zombies that these zombies dance with, they're Elite Units, attacking with powerful whirlwind attacks and a recorder that can fire projectiles. Disco Zombies will also bring out a giant disco ball to like a ball and chain when at low health.
There are two aesthetic versions of the Disco Zombie, one wearing groovy 70's attire, and one known as the Dancer Zombie that coincidentally resembles a pop-star from the '80s. Nevertheless, their attacks are identical, though the latter usually has less health.	
Duck 	Duck Hunt 	"Duck" is a name given to a variety of different waterfowl of the Anatidae family; the Ducks that appear in Tome 57 are specifically those that appear in the 1984 NES game Duck Hunt. They fly about, low to the ground, and attempt to charge into their foes. Artillery Ducks create gusts of wind to attack from afar, and summoner Ducks wear small helmets to differentiate them. Ducks come in a variety of different colours, including, among others, .
Eggplant Wizard 	Kid Icarus 	The Eggplant Wizard is a creature shaped like the fruit of the same name; though its appearance and name are not to be taken lightly. The Eggplant Wizard is perhaps the most challenging Elite Unit to deal with, as, while they are useless in close quarters combat, they can keep warriors away by firing blasts of energy at them. Eggplant Wizards can also fire large purple blasts that turn all nearby units (both friend and foe) into eggplants temporarily, making them completely useless besides being able to run about quickly.
Feyesh 	Super Smash Bros. 	A Feyesh is a large flying fish-like cyclops. They are Elite Units, who fly above their allies and opponents, making them challenging to defeat. They attack by swinging their tentacles at foes that come near them, charging them with an electric pulse. Their attacks are difficulty to counter, as most warriors have weak aerial attacks, though if their attacks are dodged for long enough they will fly closer to the ground, making it easier for warriors to take them down.
Fury 	Call of Duty 	A Fury is a creature seemingly affiliated with the Apothicons. A quadruped, Furies are an Elite Unit type, that fly at enemies in a ball of fire, exploding as they make contact. Damage dealt to a Fury is doubled when warriors attack its open mouth.
Gargantuar 	Plants vs. Zombies 	
Ghost 	Scooby-Doo! 	
Gold Goomba 	Super Mario 	Gold Goombas are Goombas that are under the effect of the Gold Flower. Still just as weak as their normal counterparts, Gold Goombas can only appear as default Foot Soliders; they do not have artillery or summoner variants. Gold Goombas are rare enemies that drop extraordinary amounts of experience. A single Gold Goomba will appear in each stage, with a much larger amount of health than normal, while others can be summoned by collecting a Gold Flower, which is an item that can rarely be dropped by enemy officers.
Goomba 	Super Mario 	Goombas are the weakest member of Bowser's Koopa Troop army. They lack arms and legs, meaning they can only really attack by charging head-first into their foes. They are the most basic of Foot Soldier units, with their artillery and summoner variants giving them different helmets to distinguish them.

They are relatively weak creatures, like all Foot Soldiers, and attack by trying to slap or charge into warriors. Peepas can shape-shift, and in some scenarios they take the appearances of other Foot Solder units until they are defeated. Artillery Peepas are pink, and attack by firing light purple flames at nearby enemies; and summoner Peepas are light blue and carry staves.
Phantom Shadow 	Scooby-Doo! 	
Plixo 	Kid Icarus 	Plixos are strange Aurum creatures. Unlike other enemies, they do not attack the warrior directly, instead serving as an obstacle that hinders their progress. Plixos protect some enemy keeps and other pathways, and must be defeated before the warrior can pass through them. Even though they do not attack, they have a large amount of health, meaning warriors will likely be surrounded by other foes as they attempt to defeat a Plixo.
Primid 	Super Smash Bros. 	
Reaper Mat 	Detentionaire 	
ReDead Knight 	The Legend of Zelda	
R.O.B. 	R.O.B. 	
Sad Goomba 	Super Mario 	The Sad Goomba, unlike its Golden or normal counterparts, is an Elite Unit. Though not any more powerful than the other Goombas, the Sad Goomba has much more health. They turn into normal Goombas once they deal any amount of damage to a warrior, though if they are defeated without taking any damage from them, they will drop an abnormal amount of experience and other rare weapons or Skill Cards. A single Sad Goomba is hidden in every main story mission.
x200px|center Shy Guy	Super Mario 	A Shy Guy is a small robed creature with a large mask that hides its entire face. They are foot soldiers that wield small baseball bats, which they use to attack nearby enemies, though artillery Shy Guy instead throw baseballs at their foes. Shy Guys can come in a variety of different colours (red, blue, cyan, light green, yellow, orange, black, and white) though their attacks do not change.
Shemum 	Kid Icarus 	Shemum are foot soldier enemies affiliated with Hades and the Underworld. Slow and weak enemies, they attack by trying to bite warriors as they draw near. Artillery Shemum do not exist, mainly due to the Shemum's lack of arms and inability to create projectiles, but Summoner Shemum do exist; being green and wingless much like their Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters design.

Towtow 	Super Smash Bros. 	
Unggoy 	Halo 	
Ursa 	RWBY 	
Wenigo 	Until Dawn 	
Wild Woody 	Wild Woody 	Wild Woody is a special enemy as, while he could technically be considered as a Warrior, there can be multiple Wild Woodies on the map at one point and the game treats them as enemies. Wild Woody is rarely fought directly, as he instead serves as a summoner, summoning other enemies (be they platoons of Foot Soliders or Elite Soldiers) by drawing portals on the ground. While often times they will simply disappear after summoning enemies, other times they will continue to summon more until defeated.
Wolfman 	Scooby-Doo! 	The Wolfman was one of the four disguises used by Big Bob Oakley, an actor who hoped to find the treasure of Franken Castle: the Franken Jewels. The Wolfman is an Elite Unit, who fights wildly and quickly, lashing out to quickly damage his foes. While his attacks are erratic, they deal very little damage compared to the attacks of other Elite Units, though his attacks can hit opponents multiple times.
Zombie 	Call of Duty 	Zombies are deceased human beings who have had their cells reanimated by the supernatural power of Element 115. Most of the zombies travel at slower speeds and they all have limited attack range, only fighting with slow swipes with their hands. Despite this, they are often seen as some of the deadlier Foot Soldier types, as a Captain's attacks can deal massive damage to warriors on harder difficulties. Like other Foot Soldiers, there are variants of the Zombie enemy: namely, a Summoner variant that has red eyes.
=== Boss Warriors ===
Boss Warriors are special warriors that can not be played as, instead acting as bosses within the game's story.

Instead, Nabbit can appear in any mission once certain requirements are met. Defeating him unlocks new costumes, weapons, or Skill Cards depending on the level he appears in. Nabbit fights using his large sac, and it is classified as a weapon of the .

As his limbs are dismembered, he can send his fists flying a great distance, and can create sonic blasts that cover a large distance.
Big Bang Monokuma	Danganronpa 	Big Bang Monokuma is a giant Monokuma Unit created by the Towa Group. After the Tragedy, the Big Bang Monokuma was intended to be used as the last line of defence, to defeat the Monokuma Children and the robots the Warriors of Hope command. The giant robot can supposedly only be controlled by Haiji Towa and his father, though the AI Shirokuma was also able to take command of the vehicle. While it's large, it has a variety of powerful attacks: summoning thunder, powerful charge attacks, slamming its large sceptre, and dropping a large bomb. Despite its powerful attacks, it leaves itself really open after a majority of its attacks.
Garara Gator 	Toriko 	The Garara Gator is a large octopedal reptilian beast that resides in the Baron Archipelago during the Gourmet Age. It is at the top of the area's food chain, though its Capture Level is a lowly 5 (though an extra large 300 year-old Garara Gator ranks at level 8). Though it is slow, its defences are impregnable (it has no weak point) and it is a powerful physical fighter, it can throw Baron Leeches in a wide radius as a weak projectile attack.
Grimm Dragon 	RWBY 	The Dragon is a giant ancient creature of Grimm that exudes a strange black liquid that can spawn other Grimm. The Dragon itself flies around, rarely getting low enough to be attacked, though it can not stay airborne forever; it is during these times when the Dragon must be defeated. Though it can endlessly spawn Grimm, it has very little HP and can be defeated relatively quickly.
Junko Enoshima 	Danganronpa 	Junko Enoshima was once a student at the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy, where only 'Ultimate' students are chosen to attend. Junko held the title of Ultimate Fashionista, though this was just a facade; in reality, she was the Ultimate Analyst. Using her powers of analyzing her surroundings, she is the one who acted as the catalyst, initiating The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History and leading the Ultimate Despairs. She takes on her giantess appearance from Danganronpa 2, and uses her cell phone to attack foes. This cell phone also acts as a weak point; destroying this cell phone causes her attacks to become slower, albeit somewhat more powerful.
King Dodongo 	The Legend of Zelda 	King Dodongo is a large dinosaur-like creature and the leader of the Dodongo enemy species from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. King Dodongo is a fire-breathing monster that must inhale a lot of air in order to actually spew fireballs, giving warriors a great deal of time to get out of his way. His scales greatly diminish the amount of damage he takes from attacks, but his large size and slow movements still make him an easy target; his attacks are incredibly powerful however, meaning that those close to him when he attacks are likely to be knocked away or take massive damage.
King Famardy 	King of the Monsters 	King Famardy is the King of the Monsters from the 1992 game King of the Monsters 2: The Next Thing. A large extraterrestrial blob-like creature. As a royal, he summons legions of enemies to fight in his stead, but when enough of them are defeated, he will take the stand and jump about to defeat his foes, eventually slowing down to allow his enemies to attack him while he's tired.
Nihilego 	Pokémon 	Nihilego, also known as UB01 Symbiont, is an Ultra Beast, a creature that come from an alternate dimension known as Ultra Space. A powerful beast, Nihilego is classified by humans as a dual-type Rock/Poison Pokémon. Nihilego is large, and its movements are slow, though its attacks are quite powerful with great reach. Despite this, Nihilego only leaves itself open after using Venoshock, a move that covers a large area in a poisonous gas; all other attacks allow it to keep its defences sturdy.
Shadowman 	Call of Duty 	
Thanatos 	Persona 	
Troll Kong 	Toriko 	Troll Kong is a large four-armed gorilla-like creature with a Capture Level of 9. The Troll Kongs are the rulers of the creatures that live in the 8th Biotope owned by the International Gourmet Organization, and act as the protectors of the Rainbow Fruit. Troll Kongs are large, with surprisingly quick attacks that make them hard to deal with, though some of their attacks will leave them very open afterwards, making them easy to take down should warriors be patient enough.

Pokémon 	Zygarde is a large dual-type Dragon/Ground Legendary Pokémon made up of a large number of cells and cores. Zygarde will begin a battle in its 100% Forme, dropping to its 50% Forme and 10% Forme when enough damage is dealt to it. Apparently it lives deep in caves, monitoring the ecosystem of the Kalos region. Its attacks start off slow and powerful, speeding up but getting weaker as its cells are depleted. Its 50% Forme has many attacks with a large area of effect, making it harder for warriors to get closer to it.

Elle Mel Marta 	Tales 	
Heartseed 	Kokoro Connect	Heartseed is a supernatural being who is seemingly able to manipulate the universe around him. Though he appears to lack a physical form, he is able to take over any person's body and command them from within, their eyes glazing over and their voices becoming monotone as he does. He often messes with Yamaboshi High's Student Cultural Society, forcing strange phenomena on them for his own amusement. Though he doesn't appear much in Tome 57, he is the catalyst for many of the game's events, and as such could technically be seen as the main antagonist. For most of the game, he takes over Gotou Ryuuzen's body, though there are times when he possesses Elle Mel Marta should Mr. Go be unavailable.
Iori Nagase 	Kokoro Connect	Iori Nagase is a major character from Kokoro Connect and the president of Yamaboshi High's Student Cultural Society, around which the series is focused.

Map 	Series 	Description
Akihabara 	Steins;Gate 	Akihabara is a large district located in Tokyo. In the Steins;Gate universe, the shopping district is owned by the Akiha family, of which "Faris Nyannyan" (Rumiho Akiho) is a member of. Well known for its anime, manga, and video gaming influence, the district has earned the name of Akihabara Electric Town. The stage is set in the tight streets of the district, strangely empty and without the crowds that usually inhabit the area. Faris' own maid cafe, May Queen Nyan-nyan, and the Future Gadget Laboratory are two of the many landmarks that can be taken over as keeps.
Beacon Academy 	RWBY 	Beacon Academy is a large school in the kingdom of Vale with the intent to train Hunters and Huntresses in the art of defeating the Grimm that plague the world of Remnant. The school was destroyed during the Battle of Beacon, and a large Grimm Wyvern now sits perched on the school in a frozen state. The courtyard has a number of keeps, designated by the fences that enclose them. Due to some of the walls having been destroyed in battle, even a few classrooms serve as keeps.
Blackwood Mountain 	Until Dawn 	Blackwood Mountain, or Mount Washington, is a mountain located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada and is under the protection of the Park Ranger Service of Blackwood County. Located on Blackwood Mountain is the Washington Estate, where twin sisters Hannah and Beth Washington were last seen before they disappeared. It is in and around this building that warriors fight, with the nearby guest cabin being the furthest keep from the house.
Blood Gulch 	Red vs. Blue 	Blood Gulch is a large, relatively empty, canyon used by Project Freelancer as a way to hide the Alpha AI away from the world. It is inhabited by a small number of simulation troopers which, in addition to keeping Alpha "company", are also used to train the Freelancer agents. This is the simplest map in the game, as the terrain is relatively flat and the only structures that are present on the map are the two bases located on either ends. There are caves and inclines cut into the cliff walls.
Bonneton 	Super Mario 	
Boudreaux Mansion 	MySims 	Boudreaux Mansion is a large Victorian-styled mansion owned by Cyrus Boudreaux until his death, and granted via his will to Violet Nightshade. The mansion's depths holds a Fortunite Crystal, a crystal that can open up a portal to the Nightmare Realm.
