Most powers can be used repeatedly, until you choose to replace it (or it's cancelled or stolen by an opponent's power). To use a power, you simply press the representative face button. This means you can only have four powers at any time, with new powers overwriting old ones when you capture them. Power capsules (which are colored orbs in the arena) appear at your spawn point and you collect the power by standing over it and selecting a button to map that power to. In a battle arena, you have four slots for powers (represented by the four face buttons). It's a balancing act, but if you don't add enough aura particles, you'll find that it takes too long to fire off attacks, as you have less energy to draw on. Aura particles add one point to your overall energy meter, so you actually want about half your arsenal to consist of these. This is solved by placing Aura Particles in your arsenal case. That's because every power has an energy cost and when you reach the surface for battle, you have no energy (or Aura) whatsoever. Though you have 30 slots available in your arsenal case, you don't want to fill them all up with powers. As you build the skills available to your arsenal, you may find that you have many more of one class over another, which may also sway your decisions. So, by choosing Flash Barrier (which I love), I force myself to also have to include some attacks that I don't find as effective. Personally, I'm not that big a fan of the laser attacks, which are all energy class powers. But choosing it means that you will need to slots a lot of other energy class powers as well for offense and for special abilities, because you will only have one other class, besides energy, to stick use for your arsenal case.
You may find that the Flash Barrier, which is an energy-based defense, works well for you. The large variety of powers and the limit to allow only two class types in an arsenal forces you to make some crucial decisions when filling up your arsenal case. There's a wide variety of powers offered across all classes and they cover everything from different attacks (each one targeted for short, medium, or long range), to defenses, to special moves (such as jumping 30 feet in the air or levitating for 15 seconds), to draining powers, which can sap your enemy of his abilities. It's a nice visual style and coupled with the hundreds of powers you can use (each with an attractive special effect attached), creates what is easily one of the better-looking Xbox titles to date. Even your character - who battles in gritty, realistic environments - looks like an anime character, with slightly oversized hands and an expressive, almost cartoonish face.
The story throughout is like an anime waiting to happen. The voiced dialogue (of which there is surprisingly little) and the text dialogue have been translated without any strange malapropisms. Here, your character (whom you can name) runs around talking to different NPCs, following subplots as each character searches for the truth to their past, and engaging in the constant battles on the surface in hopes of researching the strange phenomenon that has overtaken Earth. The story of the single-player Scenario Mode takes place mostly in the underground headquarters of the human resistance group known as the Visions. Phantom Dust's story is pretty much your standard anime plotline, complete with troubled friends, betrayals, and the ability to create large-scale destruction wherever you go. Your goal throughout the story mode (which will take you 8-12 hours to complete, depending on your skill) is to uncover your past (as you and your fellow bunker-mates are amnesiacs) and find a way to return to the surface for good. By harnessing the phantom dust above ground, you can battle using incredible abilities, aiding other humans and taking on droids and other strange creatures in large arena battles. The surface world has been invaded, overtaken by mysterious circumstances, and you are one of many humans living in the underground who've developed amazing powers. Dust Story Set in a science-fantasy world where humans have been forced to live underground due to dangerous levels of mysterious dust on the surface, Phantom Dust offers an anime-style take on the online fighting genre.
