Granblue Fantasy: Versus version 2.61 update patch notes for PS4 and Steam
Seox has been added as a playable character and additional weapons have been added to RPG mode. Additionally, updates have been applied to various modes, and character adjustments and bug fixes have been implemented.
■General
Seox has been added as a playable character.
*The above content is available with purchase of “GBVS Character Pass 2” or “GBVS Additional Character Set (Seox).”
Seox’s Battle Concept
As the Eternals’ greatest melee fighter, Seox combines fast movement and versatile attacks.
His rushdown attack, Six-Claw Execution, has multiple follow-up attacks that include Archdemon Kick, Wolf’s Howl, Snake Bite, and Shadow Trace. By combining these attacks in close-range combat, foes will have a hard time pinning him down. He also has other rushdown skills such as Empty Hand, an attack from the air, and Gate of Demons, a versatile projectile attack. On top of these and Six-Claw Execution, he has an abundance of options to close the distance.
Seox also has a defensive skill, Thunderflash, that can block foes’ attacks and counter with an attack or movement. This counter skill can be useful in the mid to close-range. His Skybound Art, Six-Ruin’s Enlightenment, produces afterimages of Seox and can put overwhelming pressure on his foes.
Close the gap on foes with Empty Hand or Gate of Demons and initiate Six-Claw Execution to delivery an overwhelming flurry of attacks.
