The Anime Battle Arena Battle System

Anime Battle Arena features a simple battle system that revolves around using basic attacks and skills to overpower your opponent and secure victory in battle. You can use the number keys to perform powerful skills, while your left mouse click (M1) is tied to basic attacks. Combining these inputs will result in a powerful combo that deals a hefty amount of damage.

For example, you can string together up to five M1s to knock the enemy away and follow up with a ranged skill to catch them in mid-air. This basic combo can be modified to the utmost degree using mid-air moves and character-specific abilities.

ABA includes a training mode as well, which will allow you to practice intricate combos without worrying about being attacked by other players. Practicing your moves beforehand will allow you to perform well against other players in the Ranked mode, making its inclusion quite helpful.

The training mode comes with various settings that help you simulate particular scenarios, such as the enemy attacking at a certain point. These modifiers make the training mode a crucial part of any player’s learning journey in this game.

Game modes in Anime Battle Arena

At the beginning of every match in Anime Battle Arena, the game will place you on a map alongside other players. The goal is to get more KOs than the opponents. This gameplay style is the very foundation of its various modes, which include free-for-all, king of the hill, and other traditional battle royale modes.

Since this is a battle royale-style game, getting KO-ed is not the end of the match. You will respawn with your HP pool restored to max and your combat abilities returned to a neutral state. There are no additional penalties for being KO-ed either; the game will respawn you on the map within five seconds of being knocked out.
