Character Guide for 2nd Alpha test

This guide has been made by the developers of BS:ER based on their experience testing the game. We are sure everyone can find even better strategies and tactics by playing it yourself.

• Magnus' main attack is 17 vs 1 (W). In order to maximize this skill, you need to hit the opponent with Broken Bullet (Q), reducing his speed, and then dealing 50% more damage with the W skill.
  
• Thanks to Tough Body (passive), Magnus' gets stronger every time he loses HP. He gets even stronger if using the 17 vs 1 skill which makes him get more defense.
  
• The cooldown for Heavy Strike (E) decreases considerably if using an item that reduces cooldown.
  
• Bike from Hell (R) is a skill with short cooldown and used to move on long distance, but it is also very useful when wanting to finish off a fleeing enemy.
  
• If you activate the hammer's "Armor Piercing" weapon skill, Magnus' Q-W combo can be even more maximized. As the hammer is a weapon with high attack power, it is especially effective when used with the 17 vs 1 skill.
  
• On the other hand, the bat's advantage is being faster. By using the Full Swing skill, you can stun the enemy, so if you master the Heavy Strike skill first with the bat, Magnus can become very scary when fighting against an enemy between four walls.

• Jackie's tactic is her Continuity of Choices. The ideal situation would be to activate the Hack & Slash skill first. You can give extra damage to enemies that are bleeding and gain from the life steal effect by using the Adrenaline Burst (W) skill. If the enemy escapes you can slow him down by using Leaping Strike (E). That's why Jackie is even scarier when waiting to ambush enemies in bushes.
  
• If you meet an enemy from a distance and have to use Adrenaline Burst (W) and Leaping Strike (E), you unfortunately have to give up one of the two.
  
• If you see a wild animal while in combat with an enemy, killing it fast may be a good option, as Jackie becomes a different person when the Bloodfest (passive) skill is on.
  
• The one-hand sword is powerful for instantaneous attacks. You can disappear for a moment and appear again with the Cloak and Dagger skill to deal critical damage.
  
• As the two-hand sword gets stronger, it is even more efficient in the latter half of the game. But as it is pretty weak in the first half, it is better to kill a lot of wild animals in that time. As the weapon skill Parry can block the enemy's main attack once, it becomes even scarier in the latter half.
  
• On the contrary, the Axe is stronger in the first half of the game. There are a lot of times when Jackie masters Adrenaline Burst (W) first, as the axe has a high attack power, it is more efficient to use Hack & Slash and Leaping Strike, which increase even more her attack power. Jackie's Leaping Strike takes huge proportions especially when used with the Berserk skill.
  
• Dual sword is kind of a hidden weapon. You cannot choose it from the start, and you have to make twin swords first, using a kitchen knife and a long sword to be able to use Dual Sword. The specialty of having two swords is being able to perform fast attacks, and although its attack power is low, it is most effective when used with the life steal effect of Adrenaline Burst (W).

• Hyunwoo's best combo is W-E-R.
  
• After increasing his defense with Blush (W), reduce the enemy's defense by stunning him with First Attack (E) and gaining defense at the same time. If you succeeded in hitting the target with his ultimate skill, he could deal the most damage in a specific moment.
  
• However, as the three skills have rather long cooldowns, we tend to try to master the basic Stomping Foot (Q) skill first.
  
• Hyunwoo is really good when combining the glove, that has a really fast attack speed, with Stomping Foot (Q) and the Uppercut skill, allowing him to attack continuously.
  
• On the other hand, you can block the enemy's main attack with the tonfa, that has high defense, after enhancing the First Attack (E) skill and using it with Quick Spin and Bluff (W).

• Aya requires different strategies depending on the weapon she has.
  
• When using the pistol, Aya is the most agile among the characters. It doesn't have a long range, but continuous kiting is possible by actively using pistols that increase movement speed with the Moving Turn (E) skill and Moving Reload. By also using the cooldown reduction effect of Moving Reload, you can have the most effective movement skill in BS:ER by combining the E-D-E skills.
  
• When using the sniper, Aya has to be a bit more clever. In order to use not only the vision range but also the long distance to an advantage, she needs to actively use surveillance cameras and traps. If she succeeds in predicting her opponent's move, she can hit enemies at a very long distance with the Sniper skill. As the burst mode effect fades down, she has high chances of losing if she allows her enemies to approach her too close.
  
• In contrast, the other two weapons mainly use Double Shot (Q), and the most important thing for the assault rifle is its normal attack that fires by 3 round bursts. For the 3 round bursts to be efficient your movement have to be restricted, but as the cooldown decreases 3 times more thanks to the reduction effect of the Justice (passive) skill, she is able to use it often. Check how many remaining bullets you have and activate the Overheat skill, you can experience powerful firepower.
  
• Steady Shot (W) is a powerful skill but it is hard to hit a target with it. But you can also use it when you want to shake off an enemy by shooting in its direction while walking backwards, or by shooting at a bush you want to go in to make sure it's empty.
  
• The cooldown of the Blank Cartridge (R) skill decreases greatly as you level up. When you use Blank Cartridge to attack, make the enemy stop with a blank cartridge and then use Steady Shot (W) to hit the target.
