- Guilty Gear Xrd Rev2 is a standalone expansion for Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-.
Rev2 features a short list of minor system changes, significant changes to the game's visuals and camera, and changes ranging from minor to drastic to each member of the cast. On top of changes to the system and characters, Rev2 also features two new additional player characters: Answer and Baiken. The game is available on PS3, PS4, PC-Steam, and Aime Arcade Systems.
Characters
New Characters
- Answer is Chipp's dutiful secretary and is a ninja dressed in a business suit. He can throw business cards and teleport to their location or cause shadow clones to attack from their location. He can also set scrolls in the air and do various moves when hanging from them.
- Baiken returns from the XX series. She is a wandering samurai-esque character with one eye, one arm, and a grudge against That Man for creating the Gears that killed her family and maimed her. Baiken's unique ability is to cancel her guard into attacks for free, forcing opponents to attack her in more unconventional ways.
Changes
For a list of changes from Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- see the Change Log.
In January 2018, Arc System Works released version 2.1. See the Version 2.10 patch notes for details.
Tier List
- This is a tier list made to give a general idea of the character strength in rev2.1. Tier lists do not decide the strength of the character, and do not decide who can or will win a given match. Tier lists help act as a basic point to understand which characters have more matchups in which they are advantaged against another character piloted by another theoretically equally skilled layer.
Characters in the lowest tier have more glaring weaknesses than mid or upper tier characters, but Rev2.1 is both complex and balanced enough that characters considered weaker are still plenty strong and can and have won majors. Opinions of character strength change periodically as new tech is discovered, metas change, and the competition evolves. Please take all tier lists with a grain of salt.
