## **Stage Info**

An ocean of clouds that covers the world of Alrest. What lies beneath the depths of the clouds few know and even fewer understand. Like a normal ocean, the Cloud Sea of Alrest can ebb and flow as it rises and lowers with the tides. Titans such as Gormott and Mor Ardain walk through the Cloud Sea and serve as land masses for the people of Alrest to live on. Even smaller titans such as Azurda can move through the Cloud Sea and served as both friend and home to Rex. At its center lies the World Tree, a place said to be where one can find the paradise known as Elysium.

## **Stage Layout**

This stage takes place on top of the titan Azurda as he swims through the Cloud Sea of Alrest. One additional platform can be found floating above the left side of Azurda for fighters to use, but beyond that the entire stage takes place on Azurda’s body itself. Azurda will occasionally rise or lower his head which can change the angle of the right side of the stage a bit. Rarely, Azurda will even turn to look back at the ongoing battle which has the effect of removing his head and a portion of his neck from the battle.

As the battle goes on Azurda may even provide his own commentary with lines such as “I want to see a good, clean fight. Do you hear?” at the start of a match or “It seems that we will soon have a winner!” when the match gets to one minute remaining or one fighter is brought down to their final stock. Azurda may even utter specific lines when a fighter is KO’d, self-destructs, when specific Titans appear in the background, or when Pyra and Mythra are fighting on the stage.

This stage also contains a few cameos. As Azurda swims through the Cloud Sea of Alrest, the World Tree and different Titans can all be spotted in the background from time to time including Goldmouth, Gormott, Uraya, Mor Ardain, Genbu, Indol, Temperantia, and the Leftherian Titans.

When the match starts, one Driver and their Blade will be randomly selected to appear around Rex’s house on Azurda’s back. The possible cameos are as follows and will not appear if any of the characters in the combo are currently fighting in the match.

* Rex & Pyra
* Rex & Mythra
* Nia & Dromarch
* Tora & Poppi α
* Vandham & Roc
* Morag & Brighid
* Zeke & Pandoria
