Shonen Unleashed Awakening Explained
As mentioned earlier, the awakening system in Shonen Unleashed rewards you with a secret moveset of your character which is the most powerful among all the abilities. This allows you to shift the momentum of the fight and bag the victory in the final moments.
How To Awaken Characters
To awaken your character in Shonen Unleashed, you must press the G button on your keyboard once a character’s awakening meter is filled to the brim. After pressing the key, the game will trigger a cutscene and grant you a special moveset for 90 seconds.
Surprisingly, you’ll also get to enjoy a complete refill on HP and Evasive bar but losing the battle will remove 105 from the current mode bar when going into the next stock. So this is something you should keep in mind.
A character’s ultimate and unique emote will also be available during awakening if they have one.
