Cast

Speed+Tactical

• Speed Mode: 'Rush'—builds Chaos with every successful attack

Jumping and spinning at blinding speeds, Sonic tirelessly strikes the enemy

• Strategy Mode: 'Slow-mo'—depletes Chaos

Sonic moves at such high speeds that time slows down and he is able to “plot out” his, as well as the team's next few moves (depending on how much Chaos is built up). This is the principal method of setting up large-scale combos/attacks

Ranged+Item

• Ranged Mode: 'Cover Fire'—builds Chaos with each successful attack

Armed with the newest Airguns to come out of Zephyr Labs, Tails provides DPS both on the ground and in the air

• Item Mode: 'Utility Belt'—depletes Chaos to use items

Tails deploys springs, traps, and turrets in order to aid the team on the battlefield. This is how some large-scale combos are set-up

Aggression+Defense

• Aggression Mode: 'Pummel'—quickly expends Chaos when dealing damage

Knuckles punches and kicks his enemies into submission

• Defense Mode: 'Tunnel'—quickly builds Chaos when blocking

Knuckles defends his teammates by burrowing and creating barricades and cover around the battlefield. The more damage that is blocked, the more Chaos is built up

Berserker+Support

• Berserker Mode: 'Trance'—builds Chaos with each successful attack

Vector enters an uncontrollable trance and rages against enemies with a combination of melee attacks ranging from biting, tail-whipping, and body-slamming

• Support Mode: 'Beat'—expends Chaos by applying buffs/debuffs

Vector blasts the battlefield with his raucous beats and concussive blasts, deploying status-buffs from the sidelines. Some combos can only be achieved when the correct Beat is played

Control+Summoning

• Control Mode: 'Geomancy'—builds Chaos with the use of Espio’s surroundings

Binding enemies with vines/brush, tremors, and Area of Effect techniques such as changing the weather to favor/hinder specific elements/enemies

• Summoning Mode: 'Invoke'—slowly depletes Chaos

It allows Espio to call upon the aid of powerful spirits from The Other Side. While in Spirit Mode Espio cannot be harmed, or helped, and his Chaos depletes. If the Chaos Meter reaches 0 Espio is K.O.'d
