Avatar (アバター Abatā), in Brave Duel games, is the virtual battle costume equipped by a player (i.e. Duelist) after performing a transformation-like process known as Striker Change. There are numerous type of Avatars, with different specs, merits and specialisation.
Although the principles are different, its concept is based off the Barrier Jackets or equivalent protective clothings ("BJ") in the original series. Majority of the Avatar designs are also adapted or modified from the counterparts of the original series (usually the latest designs in the movie continuity), while the remaining consists of their alternatively-colored variations as well as exclusive original designs for INNOCENT series.
Types[]
Avatar types (タイプ taipu) (sometimes misplaced with styles (スタイル sutairu)) appeared in the series are sub-sectioned alphabetically below, with unnamed, crossover and spin-off designs at the end. Variations within a single type are sorted manually based on original series reference and known users, generally in the following order:
- versions (バージョン bājon): different colors obtainable by public players
- customs (カスタム kasutamu): customised variations not obtainable by public (indicated by bold text)
- versions of individual customs
- other variations, e.g. crossover costumes
Square brackets indicate colors or identification without canonical name or reference. Bold text of known users indicates the variation is used by that Duelist primarily.
