History VideoGame / AzureStrikerGunvolt3

* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Gunvolt takes the form of a blue wolf while Kirin is the active character, following her around as she battles. When their EP is at 100% or higher, Gunvolt can transform back into human form and swap places with Kirin.

* TagTeam: Kirin and Gunvolt are this, with the catch being that Gunvolt can only be tagged in when your EP gauge is over 100% or higher, and it slowly ticks down over time, as Gunvolt uses his new abilities, or when he takes damage.

* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: InvertedTrope. The new heroine Kirin wields a sword while Gunvolt uses his dart pistol and electric septima.

* DistantSequel: {{Implied|Trope}}. Gunvolt's bio refers to him as an ''"Eternally'' young man" rather than simply "Young man" suggesting it is set in a timeline comparable to that of [[spoiler:''VideoGame/LuminousAvengerIx'']]

* TheBusCameBack: In-stage dialogue, now officially referred to as "Story Mode+", returns in ''3'' after being mostly absent from the ''Luminous Avenger iX'' duology.

* SuperMode: Gunvolt functions as this for Kirin in the trailers and early gameplay footage. Gunvolt can only tag in when Kirin has built up at least 100% EP, and when deployed, EP constantly depletes and is used up when attacking or Prevading damage. The tradeoff is Gunvolt being magnitudes more powerful than Kirin; he summons a flurry of Crashbolts to nuke half the screen on summon, is unkillable, has infinite air jumps and air dashes, can attack from range, passively destroys physical projectiles when not attacking, and has access to Skills like Astrasphere to rip through enemies even harder. If Kirin dies and Lumen's Anthem activates, Gunvolt will unlock his full power and take Kirin's place, allowing him to utterly devastate the rest of the stage.

''Azure Striker Gunvolt 3'' is an upcoming RunAndGun game in the ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvoltSeries'' developed by Creator/IntiCreates, with assistance from Creator/KeijiInafune of [[Creator/Level5 Level-5 comcept]] as "Action Supervisor". It is the fifth game in the ''Gunvolt'' series (following ''VideoGame/LuminousAvengerIX2'') and the third main numbered entry (following ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt2''). It will release for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in 2022.

Eden's defeat at the end of ''Gunvolt 2'' put a temporary halt to the disaster looming over the planet. However, the myriad trials Gunvolt has endured caused a metamorphosis within him to activate, evolving his Azure Striker powers beyond those of mere Septima. When word of Gunvolt's evolution reaches Shadow Yakumo, a hidden counterpart to Sumeragi, the secret organization moves to act and deploys their most powerful agent, an Adept shrine maiden named Kirin.

* {{Invocation}}: Unlike ''Luminous Avenger iX 2'', which removed DesperationAttack poems, the trailers for ''Gunvolt 3'' show the boss skills having chants like the other games.

* ParryingBullets: Promotional material shows off Kirin's ability to deflect projectiles by slashing them with her sword.

* VideoGameDashing: One of Gunvolt's new abilities seen in the trailers is the ability to turn into a mass of bolts and fly through the air, passing through enemies harmlessly. Another variation of his air dash seen in the second trailer allows him to angle his air dashes a la Copen and bounce off enemies that he collides with.

* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Kirin is seen accompanied by a blue wolf-like animal with yellow horns on the key art. In the gameplay demos, said animal follows her around during gameplay. As it turns out, this creature is none other than ''Gunvolt himself'' in a form he takes when he's not the active player character.

When word of Gunvolt's evolution reaches Shadow Yakumo, a hidden sect of Sumeragi, the secret organization moves to act and deploys their most powerful agent, an Adept shrine maiden named Kirin.

The game introduces a new playable character in Kirin (Yu Sasahara), a sword-wielding Adept with the ability to seal the Septima of other Adepts. By using her special talismans, she can Tag enemies to negate the CollisionDamage that they inflict and increase the damage she deals to them. Her deft sword skills allow her to dole out powerful three-hit melee combos and deflect enemy projectiles.

* ActionizedSequel: The trailers demonstrate Gunvolt's new range of actions. In addition to having more flexible mobility in the air, his Flashfield has been replaced by the ability to fire salvos of electric bolts at Tagged foes, allowing him to attack while moving, unlike Flashfield.
