Heat

Heat is a resource granted to all characters at the start of each round which can be activated by either Heat Burst or a Heat Engager. During heat, all attacks deal chip damage, and some attacks gain extra properties at the cost of consuming some of the heat gauge.

Heat terms:

• Heat Burst (2+3) — Panic button that activates heat with armor, taking a small cost to the heat gauge. Can be cancelled.
• Heat Engager — Regular attack that enters heat on hit. Always +16g.
• Heat Smash (H.2+3) — Powerful attack that consumes the entire heat gauge.
• Heat Dash (H.F) — Dash cancel off of a regular attack, affecting the recovery for both players. Consumes the entire heat gauge.
