The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has new information on Valkyria Chronicles 4, including details on six new characters (including a Valkyria) and a new “Brave” system.
Get the information below.
■ Characters
- Crymaria Levinc (voiced by Yukana) – The Valkyria known as the “Witch of the Snowstorm.” She is the special duty captain of “X-0,” which is the Imperial Science Institution’s special test unit. Because she was forced to live as an experiment at the Valkyria Experimental Facility, she has a strong inferiority complex. She acts alongside her friend, a wolf named Fenrir.
- Forseti (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa) – Tactical commander of the X-0 Imperial military unit that appears countless times before the protagonist and company. He injured his leg and thus does not participate directly in battle. He has great confidence in himself and is always composed.
- Belgar (voiced by Shou Hayami) – The supervisor of X-0. He is of noble background and is an executive at the Imperial science institution. He has the authority of an admiral, and X-0 are his chess pieces.
- Chiara Rocino (voiced by Yukiyo Fujii) – A special member of X-0. She and Nikola were brought up together like sisters at the Imperial research institution. She is assigned the duty of eliminating Belgar’s enemies. She has a sadistic personality.
- Nikola Graf (voiced by Naomi Ohzora) – A special member of X-0. Like Chiara, she acts as Belgar’s bodyguard. She is sadistic as well, but unlike Chiara, Nikola is the malicious type.
- Klaus Walz (voiced by Hiroki Touchi) – The captain of “Ausbruch,” an independent gang of the Imperial army. He is a veteran commander who charges into battle with the strong conviction to “protect the people living in the Empire.” He battles riding in his personal tank.
■ Systems
Brave System
When a soldier in your army is on the verge of death, there is a fixed chance that a new system called “Brave” will be activated. When Brave is activated, you can choose one from two options:
- “Entrust” – Restores one Command Point (CP) and increases the ability of a nearby ally.
- “Rise Up” – Restores one Action Point (AP), and enables you to attack and move only once in an invincible state.
Six Classes
- Scout
- Assault
- Engineer
- Lancer
- Sniper
- Grenadier (New)
