Overview
What are Limit Breaks?
In battle, each character has a Limit Guage. When the gauge fills, the character will be able to perform a special move called a Limit Break. A character performing a Limit Break will additionally reach their next turn faster. Their “Fight” command will be replaced with a “Limit” command with which they can select their desired Limit Break.
Using Limit Breaks
Fill the Limit Gauge
Characters’ Limit Gauges will fill as they take damage from enemies. The gauge will need to be full before the character can use a Limit Break.
Limit Compared to Damage
The amount that the Limit Gauge is filled is based on how much damage the enemy did to the character in question. The higher of a percentage of the character’s HP was done as damage, the more that the Limit Guage will fill.
Level and Status
A character’s level and current status effect how quickly the limit gauge is filled. For example, characters afflicted by Sadness will have their limit gauge fill more slowly while characters inflicted by Fury will fill their gauge rather quickly.
