His Flashfield also slows his descent, allowing him to cross large gaps when combined with his dashes. Gunvolt's gameplay is largely identical to the previous game: using his gun, he is able to tag his enemies and use his Flashfield to do extra damage.
Unlike its predecessor, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 has two separate playable characters: Gunvolt, and his rival Copen, each with their own different gameplay styles.
