[Gameplay]
• Def Jam Takeover emphasizes using environments and crowds to cause damage. Slam opponents into barriers, walls, doors, or gates, and watch as the crowd pushes fighters back into combat, hands out weapons, or restrains opponents for devastating follow-ups.

• Gain momentum by performing moves, countering, and taunting. The Charisma stat affects momentum gain, and created fighters can boost charisma with clothes, tattoos, and jewelry—the more premium the gear, the faster the momentum meter fills.

• Fights are won only by Knock Out or Submission. Submissions drain a specific body part’s health, while knockouts rely on the game’s dual health bar system: consciousness above, physical wellness below. Consciousness depletes faster, leading to dramatic, match-ending finishers.
