Advancer is capable of manipulating the Wanderer, the Seeker, the Vanisher, and its own powers simultaneously.
Like Vanisher, skills now have only one level but most require 2 SP.
When converting to Advancer, Zero gains 30 more SP, up to a grand total of 120 SP maximum for use.
Advancer finally adjusts Zero's Freelancer stance as well as buffer his other Stances.
As Freelancer, Zero has additional combo and dash attacks that extend his reach. He also has new skills that do not require Zero to enter a stance first before using it. The new skills are also used if the player equips the Sword Stance skills but does not use them in a stance, thus equipping two in one.
Note that these new skills, whether for Freelancer or Sword Stance, now require the maximum bar like MP characters, whereas Dio, Ley, and Rufus still require a little less to execute their respective skills.
In other stances, Zero is given buffs to aid him in battle, giving him a greater edge against his opponents.
Grandark Domination has also been adjusted to give players a greater experience when playing as Zero.
