Japanese gaming website Goziline showcased new gameplay changes for Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact at TGS 2024. 3 new gameplay mechanics have been introduced for offensive and defensive play styles.
The first mechanic is a character switch feature that allows players to switch from one character to another through assists. By pressing the assist button again after calling an assist, you can tag that character in and continue playing with them. This is known as Active Tag or Active Change in other games and is very useful for extending combos, pressure, and even approaching the opponent.
NenStance and NenPact are the last two mechanics. By holding down the NenStance button, you are put into a defensive stance where you push back the opponent while your aura gauge decreases. Lastly, NenPact is a follow-up attack you can do after having an attack touch your NenStance. It’s important to note that players can land high-damaging combos after doing NenStance.
Check out the demonstration of the character switch mechanic below, via Goziline:
