User:8bit BlackMage/Core of Amaterasu

The Core of Amaterasu is an alternate game node in Dissidia Calamitas Infinita. After the destruction of Helel in the 13th cycle, the world begins to decay as his wife, Amaterasu, slowly stirs from her imprisonment within a huge, sun-like complex crafted to contain her power. Seraphim, taking pity on the abandoned world and the god shackled to it, summons 8 warriors from the previous cycles to defeat Amaterasu before she awakens and devolves into an apocalyptic rage.

Though it retains most of the structure and style of the main game, CoA is unique in that it pits a set group of 8 characters at once against a series of bosses. Rather than focusing on 1v1 strategy, CoA requires coordination between all 8 characters to handle mechanics efficiently. Each boss possesses a unique and dynamic moveset, with abilities that are more competently handled by certain characters than others. CoA thus plays as sort of a hybrid fighter/MMO, as characters' modified DCI ability lists position them as more proficient in certain "roles" than others.

The Core of Amaterasu is grouped into four sections: The Corona, containing 5 trials, The Tachocline, containing 4 trials, the Refulgence, containing 4 trials, and finally The Nucleus, where Amaterasu waits. Each of the 13 trials features a setting and boss respective to one of the 13 main stories in DCI.
