She arrived at the Military Academy alone, despite the attempts to persuade her against it, after she heard of her brother’s disappearance.

Celine
CV: Mai Aizawa
When Emma arrived at the academy, Celine, a black cat, traveled to stay around the school dorms. Celine is an elegant cat with sleek black fur, and can speak for reasons unknown.
However, she isn’t actually Emma’s pet, but more of an overseer. She seeks to measure Rean’s qualifications as a Riser, and repeatedly, she puts Rean through various trials.
At the end of the last game, she and Rean both boarded the Ash God Knight, Valimar, and faced a fierce battle only to be defeated by the Blue God Knight, Ordyne. When she realized the danger they were in, Celine overrode Rean’s control of Valimar and gave the command for it to withdraw from the battlefield.
Crow Armbrast
Age: 19
Weapon: Double Saber
CV: Takahiro Sakurai
A second year student at the Thor’s Military Academy- Crow was an upperclassman to Rean and the rest of Class VII, a classmate to Towa and Angelica, and a close friend of George’s.

However, his true nature shows him to be the leader who formed the terrorist organization known as the Imperial Liberation Front, or ILF. After the assassination of Girias Osborne, the Iron Blood Prime Minister, he takes the Blue God Knight Ordyne to take control of the military academy. Once again, Rean and his friends have a great enemy standing before them.
New Battle System
Ash God Knight Valimar
CV: Daisuke Matsubara
Valimar is a humanoid machine that was found sealed deep within the underground sections of the old school building at Thors Military Academy. Believed to be created during the early days of the dark ages, with its beautiful craftsmanship, its design sets it apart from orbal weapons recently developed, and the humanoid weapons used by the Ouroboros.
It tunes itself to its pilot, called a Riser, and it greatly surpasses the power of common orbal weapons – its abilities are unknown as it keeps many of its mysteries to itself. Beyond the Ash God Knight Valimar, and the Blue God Knight Ordyne, other variations may still yet exist…
Summon God Knight
When using this craft, Rean raises his hand to the air and calls out Valimar’s name, who flies to the battle. When dealing with enemies such as Panzer Soldats or powerful, large beasts, then the power of Valimar may be necessary.
* This special craft can only be used once per battle.
* This special craft also costs 200 CP.
* When Rean uses Summon God Knight and Valimar arrives, a party member may join him.
* On Valimar’s turn, the only commands available will be ‘Attack,’ ‘Craft,’ and ‘Defend.’
* After several turns, or if the ‘separate’ command is used in battle, Rean and the party member will return to the battlefield and Valimar leaves.
Attack
Combat with Valimar presents three basic commands: Attack, Craft, and Defend. If up against an enemy such as a Panzer Soldat, there would be three options to target after selecting the attack option: Head, Arms, and Body.
* Against enemy Panzer Soldats, you will have the selection to aim your attack to the head, arms, or body. You can only select one.
* If the attack successfully hits a weak point, there’s a high probability that the stance of the enemy will be broken. This will work similarly to link attacks, and brave points will be gained.
* If you hit a point that is not the enemy’s weakpoint, then they will guard and have the opportunity to perform a counterattack.
Craft
Just like Rean and the others, Valimar can use crafts by spending CP (Craft Points). When using a craft, you do not need to select a part to target, and upon hitting the enemy, you have a chance to cause a break. Furthermore, enemies are capable of using crafts as well.
* CP will be consumed when a Craft is used.
* There is no need to select a part to be targeted.
* The attack has the chance of causing a break, which will give the opportunity for a special effect.
Partner System
When it is summoned, you are given the opportunity to select one party member to be a partner and control Valimar’s subsystems. On the partner’s turn, they are given three new commands: EX Arts, Charge, and Spirit. It is also possible to change the partner in the party on the partner’s turn, and different partners will have special EX Arts that can be used.
Charge: EP Recovery
Spirit: EP used to recharge HP and CP
EX Arts: EP used to attack with powerful, specialty arts.
Panzer Soldat
Developed in secret by the mysterious 5th branch of the Reinford Group, these manned humanoid weapons are comparable to other maneuverable and all-purpose machinery. Built using the Blue God Knight Ordyne as reference, these machines stand at 7 arge tall and have a knight-like appearance.
The Panzer Soldat units were able to take over the Imperial Capital, as they had possessed superior technology to that of the Achtzehn, the tanks used by Erebonia’s military. The tanks were powerless against the Panzer Soldat units, giving the noble faction a strong upper hand in military strength.
