Ougon Musou Kyoku/General Mechanics
Health Data
The total health of your team is calculated by this formula: (Attacker + Reserve) x 3
- This assumes that you have your game set to 3 bars. If you have it set it to two, which is not recommended, x 2 instead.
- Ex: [Attacker] -> Battler's 1400 + [Reserve] -> Beatrice's 1400 = 2800 x 3 = 8400 total health.
| Character | Health |
|---|---|
| Ronove | 1650 |
| Shannon | 1550 |
| Dlanor A. Knox | 1500 |
| Virgilia | 1500 |
| Rosa | 1500 |
| Eva Beatrice | 1450 |
| Chiester 410 | 1450 |
| Battler | 1400 |
| Ange | 1400 |
| Beatrice | 1400 |
| Willard H. Wright | 1400 |
| Jessica | 1400 |
| George | 1400 |
| Erika Furudo | 1300 |
| Kanon | 1200 |
| Lucifer | 1200 |

Break Limit
Break Limit/Guard Meter does NOT recover time. It can only be recovered through touching/tagging.
- The Break Limit gauge is much more important in Ougon than in other games, as it fills up much more faster making guard break strategies more viable.
These actions reduce the Break Limit:
- Normal Touch = Reduces by 50%
- Attack Touch = Reduces by 25%
- Guard Touch = Reduces by 50%
- Damage Touch = Reduces by 50%
- Assault Touch = Reduces by 50%
- Getting Guard Broken = Break Limit resets and further Break damage is reduced by 50%.
Other factors that influence the Break Limit include:
- Lambda Delta's ability SuperPaper = Completely resets the Break Limit gauge.
- Chiester 410's ability Break Boost = Doubles Break Limit Damage.
Combo Mechanics
NOTE: The damage reduction modifiers STACK.
- Ex: Parry Touch 70% + Dash Cancel 80% = -30% - 20% = 50% less damage.
| Situation | Damage Modifier |
|---|---|
| Stun | 50% |
| Dash Cancel | 80% |
| Guard Break | 90% |
| Attack Touch | 80% |
| Parry Touch | 70% |
| 17+ Hits | Reduced by 2.14% per hit |
| Repeated Moves | 100% -> 90% -> 70% -> 50% |
Stun
When a character gets hit enough in quick succession, they will be put into the stun condition for 3 seconds. You cannot press buttons to quicken the stun time.
- Putting your opponent's character into stun is a big part of Ougon's gameplay and as such, it is easier to stun the enemy than in other games.
- All damage done on a stunned character is reduced by 50%.
Every character has their own stun value but however, this is not related to health. The exact values are not known but this is the general rundown:
| Stun | Character |
|---|---|
| High Stun | Lambda Delta, Dlanor A. Knox |
| Average Stun | Everyone not mentioned |
| Low Stun | Lucifer, Eva Beatrice, Bernkastel |
| Very Low Stun | George |
Injury/Recoverable Health
The flashing portion of your health bar is your recoverable health, much like traditional Capcom fighters. Recoverable health is generated in one of two ways:
- Being hit (25% of the damage sustained is converted into recoverable health)
- Blocking (10% of the blocked attack's damage is dealt to your health bar and converted into recoverable health)
To recover it, you must perform a Neutral Touch. It is the only Touch that will do this - all other Touches will make you lose that health for good. The amount of recoverable health you have slowly decreases over time. Recoverable health disappears as soon as the opponent knocks you into a new colored health bar.
Abilities of note:
- Jessica's Shave Boost makes the opponent not generate recoverable health at all when blocking.
Counter Hits
You can get a counter hit by attacking the opponent and hitting them while they are in their attacking or recovering animations. Counter hits increase the damage of the move itself and all subsequent hits by 10%. Landing a counter hit on an airborne opponent allows you to to juggle them in the air twice, as opposed to only once under normal circumstances.
Example (without a Counter Hit):
- Erika hits the opponent in the air and performs an air combo.
- Erika lands on the ground, her opponent is out of hitstun but is still in the air.
- Erika attempts to get another juggle combo but it whiffs.
Example (with a Counter Hit):
- Erika hits the opponent in the air and air combos.
- Erika lands on the ground, her opponent is out of hitstun but is still in the air.
- Erika attempts to get another air combo and it hits, since the opponent is in a counter hit state.
Abilities of note:
- Ronove's Counter Boost greatly increases the effects of initial counter hits and doubles the subsequent damage boost.
- Erika's Force Counter forces counter hits.
Air Tech
Some moves and a lot of grabs can be air teched by pressing A/B/C while in air. However, air teching is disabled while the opponent's Meta World is active.
Example (without Meta World):
- Chiester410 grabs you.
- After being thrown, you can air tech normally.
Example (with Meta World):
- Chiester410 grabs you.
- After being thrown, she immediately metaDeclares - you cannot air tech, allowing her to safely set up her Meta Super.
After air teching, you are completely invulnerable as you fall to the ground, and retain air options - you can press a normal as you fall to hit the opponent, for example. If you press a button, however, your invulnerability is lost. If you don't press a button, you will be vulnerable as you land for a few frames, during which you will be in a counter hit state.
Wake-up
It is worth noting that on wake-up, every character has a period of throw invincibility. For Dlanor, this will result in her command grab being counted as a hit rather than a grab, and for everyone else it will be a free whiff.
