Setting BREAK largely takes place in the “Kingdom of Sublimity”, A world that Khaos made in his image, inhabited by Spirits turned unwilling royal subjects called “Crystallums”. His kingdom is divided into 9 distinct areas. You can travel to any area out of order, but you cannot visit The Castle until you’ve proven yourself by defeating the boss that resides in each of the 8 other areas. An area called “Base Camp” acts as a hub area for your party. Worshipper’s Forest Levels: 5~10 Boss: The Minotaur A forest filled with shrines and creepy statues dedicated to the supreme ruler. Even the wildlife looks uncomfortable. * Terry * Wario * Olimar * Palutena * Fox * Isabelle * Yoshi Sleepy Village Levels: 25~30 Boss: The Mob * Villager * Young Link * Jigglypuff * Duck Hunt * Pac-Man * Ryu * Dr. Mario * Ness * Mii Brawler Sapphire Mountains Levels: 35~40 Boss: The Behemoth * Falco * Sheik * Lucario * Palutena * Ridley * Ice Climbers * Ken * Banjo & Kazooie * Mewtwo * Richter City of Gold Levels: 45~50 Boss: The Executioner Only the most affluent subjects can even dream of living here. Everything down to the sewer system is covered in gold and precious gems. * Bayonetta * Joker * Kazuya * Steve * Zelda * Peach * Daisy * King K. Rool * Bowser Jr. * King Dedede * Mii Gunner Putrid Lake An isolated area of the Kingdom. A fortress in the middle of the lake holds prisoners.

It can be seen from anywhere, no matter how far away you may be from it. Its presence strikes fear in even the most courageous. *Due to plot reasons, Zero Suit Samus and Samus are the same character. Once you defeat Khaos, the world is permanently restored to what it once was. You still have the opportunity to train up underleveled party members and capture any Spirits you missed by battling “Lingering Evils” that roam the post-game map. Far Tundra Difficulty: ★★★~★★★★ Floating Islands Difficulty: ★★★~★★★★ Magma Wastelands Difficulty: ★★★~★★★★ Poison Forest Difficulty: ★★~★★★ Midair City Difficulty: N/a Vibrant Falls Difficulty: ★★~★★★ Mushroom Canyon Difficulty: ★~★★ Origin Mountain Difficulty: ★~★★ Tropical Resort Difficulty: ★~★★ Midair City is home to many activities. The Master’s Building is home to “Century Smash” where you battle against teams of 1~4. Every opponent is Lv. 100 and have powerful Spirits on their side. Luckily, you can heal your party and change what Spirits you have equipped in between floors. There’s 100 floors in total, beating all of them gifts you an exclusive Spirit. Character Rescue One of the main goals of BREAK is freeing all 72 fighters from Khao’s brainwashing. To free a fighter, you must engage in battle with them, just like old times. You can rescue the characters in any order. Some characters are stronger than others. If one battle is too tough, you just can come back when you’re stronger, but you must rescue all 72 of them before the final battle with Khaos, or you won’t get the good ending. Spirits The Spirit system in BREAK is slightly different from the one in Ultimate. Unlike Ultimate, you can only get one of each Spirit. You can also only carry a set amount of Spirits at one time (Although this amount goes up the more characters you rescue.) When you release a Spirit, they give you their “Heart” and some SP as a gift of appreciation for freeing them. Hearts act similarly to Cores in Ultimate because can be used to summon more powerful Spirits. You can always obtain released Spirits again later. Unlike the 72 characters, you don't have to rescue every Spirit to get the good ending. Although getting every Spirit in the game gives you a handsome reward. Smash BREAK Smash BREAK is essentially a long Final Smash. When a fighter takes in more Final Smash energy than usual, they transform into an enhanced version of themselves. Watch out though, because being in BREAK form for a prolonged amount of time takes a toll on the user’s body. Character Classes Every character is sorted into a general class. Defense, Mage, Sword, Fist, Shoot, and Support. * Defense Characters are usually big and bulky and are capable of taking lots of hits.
