[h2]Intro[/h2]

Greetings, Runners!

It's been a month and a half since the Open Beta began. Hope you all are enjoying the Presidential War!

Next week, the Open Beta ACT: 3 will begin. With ACT: 2, new elements such as Custom Matches and Target Challenge were added, broadening the range of gameplay. However, ACT: 3 will introduce the biggest new feature to date.

Introducing… "Assist Items"! In this issue of the Presidential Bulletin, we will introduce the background behind adding these items and showcase several of the items to be implemented, complete with images.

When ACT: 3 begins, we hope you will play it and share your thoughts with us!

[h2]Why “Assist Items”?
[/h2]

While many players are enjoying Brazen Blaze, we recognize a significant challenge in effectively conveying the game's appeal to those who haven't yet played or are just starting. One contributing factor is that in our pursuit of a competitive gameplay experience, it has become very difficult for players to win against opponents with superior skills, leading to one-sided matches.

To create more closely contested matches and enhance the excitement, we decided to implement "Assist Items" as an element that can potentially turn the tide of battle. This will give even teams that find themselves at a disadvantage a chance to win until the very end of the match.


With the addition of numerous items, Brazen Blaze will become even more lively and fun, resembling somewhat of a party game! We believe that the vibrant and entertaining visuals will lower the barrier for viewers to pick up the game and become new players.

Of course, for players who enjoy highly competitive matches, we plan to allow the option to disable items, enabling them to play Brazen Blaze as they have been. We hope everyone will enjoy both the new Brazen Blaze with Assist Items and the traditional Brazen Blaze.

[h2]“Assist Items” Showcase
[/h2]

Now, let us introduce some of the Assist Items that will be implemented.
Please note that these items are still in development and may differ from the final version.

Assist Items can be randomly obtained by breaking “Item Boxes" that appear on the stage. The more unfavorable the situation, the higher the chance of obtaining powerful items.


[h3]Rocket Puncher
[/h3]

This rocket launcher fires a punching glove that chases down enemy players upon being shot.
While it may look like a toy, its power is incredibly strong.

[h3]Slugger Bat
[/h3]

"Let’s make an item to smack opponents!" With that in mind, we've made a bat.
A full swing will send opponents flying.

[h3]Tornado Fan
[/h3]

When you wave this fan, it generates a tornado that sends opponents flying high into the air.
It can be used to drive away approaching enemies or to further stir up chaotic battles.

[h3]Dragon Energy
[/h3]

Drinking this energy drink gives you invincibility for a certain period.
Despite its obviously unhealthy design, consuming it allows you to stay up all night or even withstand being smacked by a Gauntlet!

In the update on June 20th, approximately 10 Assist Items will be implemented, including the ones mentioned above. We will continue to add more types of items in the future, so stay tuned!

[h2]Conclusion
[/h2]

ACT: 3 introduces the new feature of "Assist Items”.. In addition to this, ACT: 3 will bring various other additions and improvements.

With the addition of Assist Items, we aim to make the game more enjoyable and accessible, similar to a party game, which should make it more appealing to new users. While the competitive aspect may decrease, rest assured that you will still be able to play Brazen Blaze as you know it by turning off items in the rules settings (to be implemented in a future update).

This update is sure to make battles more chaotic and fun. We hope you'll try out the new combat with Assist Items after the update on June 20th.

We are also collecting feedback and suggestions for new Assist Items on Discord, so please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with us!
