What is item cords in the game & question about tactics
Hi everyone as the title stated, what are those items and what kind of effects does those items do?

for example i just bought a dash cord, it stated that i can now use dash in my dash weapons but i'm a bit confused on how to use it, is it passive or active? how do i activate it?

because if it's passive i don't feel any different when using the item or when not using it

and about the tactics, how do i activate false order? (the tactic to make an enemy base turn into an allied side) i tried to invade a base and activate it but it can't be activated outside or inside the base, what should i do first?

thanks for the help! much appreciated.

For instance, if your character uses let's say a Shadow Dash weapon and you then want to use a Dash weapon with him, the Dash cord will allow you to dash with this weapon when you normally couldn't with your character.

False Orders turns an enemy instant base into an allied one. It means the Turrets and the Catapults, not the base themselves. You have to be near one to activate it.

ahh finally i understand what does instant base means, i thought it meant a standard base without upgrade.. lol

and about the cord items... i still don't know what is dash, shadow and similar weapons like them.. could you explain it to me if you don't mind?

thanks once again

Basically, each weapon has an affinity with one of the four attributes (Dash, Shadow Sprint, Whirlwind and Dive).

Dash = Double jump
Shadow Sprint = You can press Normal Attack button after a Strong Attack to link a new combo
Whirlwind = Every hit is accompanied with, well, a whirlwind
Dive = When attacked, you can press Jump to evade the next attack

The predilection weapon of your character determines which of the four attributes can be used.

So if, for instance, your character's base weapon is the Spinner, this character will have maxed affinity for Dash weapons. This means than he will be able to use Dash with any Dash weapon. However, even if he has a level 3 affinity for another attribute, he won't be able to use this attribute with the weapon that relies on it.

To illustrate, again, your character has a Spinner as main weapon. He will be able to use Dash with any Dash weapon. However, he won't be able to use Shadow Sprint with, let's say, the General Sword. However, having a Shadow Sprint Cord will allow him to use Shadow Sprint with any weapon that relies on it.

Hope it was clear, I'm not really gifted when it comes to explanations. xD
