Environmental Combat
Category：Combat & Abilities
Built on dynamic martial arts, it folds terrain and everyday objects into combat — chairs and barriers can be grabbed as improvised weapons; official copy calls it "turning everyday objects into unexpected weapons". Grabbable lists, damage multipliers and interaction rules are unpublished, pending official confirmation.
Environmental Combat is one of ANANTA’s signature selling points. On top of “dynamic martial arts combat”, players fold terrain and everyday objects into the fight — chairs, barriers, movable props can be grabbed and swung as improvised weapons; official copy summed it up as “turning everyday objects into unexpected weapons”. Multiple CN/EN outlet previews and community databases (e.g. NiaMeowDB’s “Environmental Combat” entry) record this mechanic.
Relationship to signature weapons
Picked-up objects give instant offense — grab what’s nearby, create combos and spacing. Long-term growth leans on signature weapons — our weapons catalogue already holds 14 traceable weapons, by rarity 5★6 / 4★6 / 3★2, across 7 types (Catalyst, Gloves, Bow, Blade, Hammer, Spear, Yo-yo) and 6 elements (Spark, Chaos, Bloom, Surge, Psyche, Void). Trade-offs are covered in Which of the 14 Weapons First and the Weapons Catalogue.
Link to movement and terrain
Environmental combat depends heavily on footwork and terrain; the Chongxiao (Lingyun) side leans toward practical kung-fu like Shaolin and rooftop/wall movement — see Movement System Explained. The exact list of grabbable props, damage multipliers and interaction rules are not yet published — pending official confirmation; this site records only traceable details and does not invent numbers.
