A new take on a familiar story
Resonance rebuilds the first story arc of Brave Exvius as a console and PC RPG, rather than simply porting that mobile game.[1] Its turn order, stagger timing and equippable Visions are worth learning before planning a build.[4]
Rain, Lasswell and Fina
The party’s adventure is distinct from the legacy heroes represented by Visions. Use the current official character page (external site, opens a new tab) for announced cast information.
