▍Take Advantage of “Switches” And Turn the Battle’s Tide!
In battle, it is important to make good use of “switches. The key to victory is to switch the character and attack constantly. When you switch, you have a moment of invincibility, which is effective as a means of avoiding enemy attacks.
By maximizing the “Awakening Gauge”, your character will enter the “Awakening” state. This eliminates cooldowns for skills and member switches. You can also activate the “Finishing Skill” set for each character only once to inflict massive damage on your opponent.

“Have you heard of Cross Edge?”
It’s a title Kirito has heard before.
A game which has attracted a lot of attention from players,
not least because it was supposedly designed by a middle school genius.
One day at the Dicey Café, Kirito hears two rumors about Cross Edge.
The first: There’s a mysterious player who attacks out of nowhere.
Losing to them means losing a portion of your own memories.
The second: This player goes around wearing a hood pulled low to hide their eyes…
Kirito can’t help but recall Laughing Coffin, the player-killer guild he faced in SAO.
In part to investigate these rumors, Kirito, and his friends begin playing Cross Edge…and are soon targeted in a surprise attack.
