Welcome to Blade Arcus Rebellion from Shining! Developed by Studio Saizensen and published by Sega, this game is an updated version of Blade Arcus from Shining, a fighting game based on Sega's Shining series of RPGs that was originally released in 2014 on Japanese arcades running on the Sega RingEdge 2 hardware, followed by an initial home console version released in 2015 on PS3 and PS4, dubbed Blade Arcus from Shining EX.
This version adds new features such as: online play, a feature that was mysteriously absent from the previous version of the game released; five more characters from Shining Resonance; a new mode known as Contract mode, which bares some similarities to the Sphere Grid from Final Fantasy X; and Mission mode, where players can take on a series of challenges involving certain combos.
Step 1: Story Mode
In this step, you will need to complete Story mode with all twenty one characters in the game's roster. While going for this, there are six trophies related to Sonia and the characters added in Rebellion, which you can do before or after you complete the stories of the other fifteen characters.
Upon completing this step, you will unlock the following trophies:
?????? (First Victory)
??????? (Beginning of Memories)
?????? (Yuma’s Memory)
?????? (Kirika’s Memory)
?????? (Sonia’s Memory)
?????? (Rinna’s Memory)
??????? (Excella’s Memory)
?????? (Zest’s Memory)
?????? (Everyone’s Memory)
??? (Multimillionaire)
Step 2: Arena Mode
Once you have completed Story mode, you will now move on to Arena mode. You should notice that you do not need to complete it with the game's entire roster this time around, but with only ten characters instead. There are also three difficulty options you can choose from, which will make Arena mode much easier than before.
Upon completing this step, you will unlock the following trophies:
??????? (Setting off to a Trial)
??????? (Survival and a Fearless Fighter)
???? (Veteran)
Step 3: Mission Mode
This step involves one of the new modes added to Rebellion. Mission mode takes a similar approach to Blade Strangers, but unlike the latter, you do not need to complete all combo challenges with all characters, as you will need to complete fifty of them instead.
Upon completing this step, you will unlock the following trophies:
??????? (Become a Hero)
??????? (Fairly a Hero)
?????? (Quite the Hero)
Step 4: Contract and Gallery Modes
This step involves another feature that was added in Rebellion. Contract mode features two boards, one that involves the game's roster, and another that involves the art gallery. Players can use both boards at their leisure to unlock skills, items and art gallery pieces, but keep in mind that they have their own unique trophies connected to them.
Upon completing this step, you will unlock the following trophies:
??????? (First Contract)
?????? (Evolved Weapon)
????? (Ultimate Weapon)
???? (Brightest Light)
???? (Appreciation of Beauty)
?????? (Beautifully Collected Items)
Step 5: Online Modes
Once you have completed the above steps, you will now be able to take the fight online and play matches across two online game modes: Ranked and Player. Both modes have their own sets of trophies, but the majority of them belong to ranked matches, where you will need to reach the highest rank to complete it. There is also another trophy that requires you to use an item, which is where the previous step comes in play.
Upon completing this step, you will unlock the following trophies:
????? (Overflowing Power)
??????? (Gathering of the Heroes)
??????? (Beginning of a Legend)
??? (Grown-Up)
??????? (Joining the Heroes)
????? (Joy of Victory)
Step 6: Other Misc. Trophies
Once you have completed the previous steps above, you can now move on to the clean-up phase. This is where you will clean up trophies you might have missed along the way, but keep in mind that you may have unlocked some of them throughout your path to the platinum.
Upon completing this step, you will unlock the following trophies:
???? (Training Start)
???? (Intensifying Training)
???????? (Waking of the Attack Instinct)
????? (Knowledge of Defense)
????? (Bond with Comrades)
???? (Power of Rejection)
???? (The Skill of Counterattack)
???? (Rised Bonds)
????? (Deadly Join Attack)
???? (Pilgrimage)
???? (Perfect Conquest)
