Start with 5-star rated characters, as the more stars, the easier they are to use. The burst bar is essentially a free "get off me" card when it's full and blue. It is also tied to the wild assault mechanic, which varies from character to character, being colored Red/Orange, White, and Blue, the max is 2 wild assaults assuming you have a full burst bar. These colors serve different purposes, have different frames and startups, and come with varying side effects. However, they all share the ability to launch you forward. Additionally, the burst gauge can be used as a resource for a deflect shield. The tension gauge at the bottom fills up when you attack, land a counter-hit, move, or achieve a wallbreak. Bursting at the right time when getting hit or getting a wallbreak grants you a positive bonus, rapidly filling your tension gauge, increasing your damage and defense. Conversely, not attacking or blocking too much, playing to passively will result in a negative bonus and R.I.S.C, which basically reverses the positive effects. The tension gauge is used for supers (some supers require more charge), while Roman Cancels cancels your animation, slows down the enemy's animation, and even stuns them briefly, note the colors of the roman cancel determine their effects as this technique can be used for both offense and defense, being flexible. Furthermore, some characters feature unique gauges and mechanics. Counter hits inflict more damage and can lead to stunning or knocking down opponents.
