With the open beta for Nexon’s and Arc System Works DNF Duel set to start on December 17, 2021, all playable characters’ move lists have been revealed.
Interestingly enough, the move lists show that the characters will utilize three buttons; Skill, MP Skill, and Awakening SKill. The skill attacks will serve as standard attacks and MP Skill for special attacks. The Awakening Skills are applied buffs that can do various things such as recover guard gauge, MP Skill, increase damage, and more.
In addition to the move lists, two new trailers were also released that break down how the HP and MP Skills work in DNF Duel. Here’s a short summary of both. There are two types of HP (Hit Points) in the game; white damage that can be recovered as long as you are blocking or not taking damage. Then there’s red damage, which can not be recovered. With MP, which is needed to perform special attacks, it can be recovered by not using it and allowing it to recover normally, MP can also be recovered by landing normal attacks or using what is called conversion. Conversion will recover a portion of a character’s MP at the cost of causing red damage to the character.
