Tutorial[]
The tutorial for the Battle of Beacon mode is given by Pyrrha Nikos, with Jen Brown reprising her role. The tutorial proved so popular with players that the developers added the ability to replay the tutorial in the April Full Update, with the only requirement being that the player had to have at least one ticket, since it was triggered by the tutorial.[1]

Upcoming[]
On March 14, 2019, more characters were confirmed to be added to the Battle of Beacon mode, as Ruby Rose was the only character upon the mode's addition.[2] Despite this, Weiss Schnee, who was added in the After the Fall Update in June 2019, remains the only character who has been added since the announcement. The game mode has not had a new playable character in over a year, with Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long remaining highly requested.
