| Clash | When opposing characters’ attacks or dashes collide, it will result in a "Clash". |

| Enhanced Outrage Attack (Can be performed when the Burst Gauge is at 100%) |
When the burst gauge has accumulated more than 100%, you can use an out-of-range attack. Attack "out-of-range enhancement" can be reinforced by pressing the attack button + the middle attack. It can also activated by pressing a button and the out-of-range attack. |
