New Feature: Summons
Summons allow players to call upon a multitude of mighty powers to change the tide of battle—and now they're yours to wield in the open beta.
Using Summons
- First, equip summons from the main menu to use them in battle.
- Then, while questing, use link attacks or Skybound Arts to fill the summon gauge, which is shared by the whole party.
- Once filled, call your summon to wreak devastation with your favorite civilian, monstrous, or primal allies!
Primal Burst
- Entering link time will cause Lyria to begin channeling a primal burst.
- Afterward, when all members of the party use their Skybound Arts to trigger a full burst, Lyria will follow up with the primal burst.
- Six summons are available to use in the open beta test.
- As this game is still in development, their properties may differ from the retail version.
- Quests where summons can be used are labeled "Summons Allowed" on the quest overview. In the open beta, summons are only available in "Sephira's Sanguine Glimmer."
- The "Sephira's Sanguine Glimmer" quest is unlocked after completing the other three quests.
- Screenshots taken from the PlayStation®5 version.
