Armaments:
Playable characters can have up to two weapons or "armaments" equipped. Types of armaments will vary depending on which character is being equipped. Some characters will have longer reload times for their armaments, so players will need to be conscious about how often they fire during a battle.

Aircraft Carriers:
Aircraft carrier-class characters can equip 3 different types of planes or "aircraft": Fighters, Bombers, and Attackers. Depending on which aircraft is used, players will either have to manually deploy these planes or they will be sent out automatically. Each type of aircraft has its own strengths and weaknesses. So choose wisely!

Lock-On Attacks:
When a character's Lock-On gauge is maxed, players can unleash a powerful attack that will target all enemies within the lock-on range. These are extremely useful when you find yourself in a pinch.
