Abilities

Some roles or characters have special controls that allow them to perform abilities, which enable specific actions.

Charge

Increase the power of Magic by keeping the corresponding button held down for a certain period of time to charge it. When you are charging Magic, your movement speed will be decreased, and you will be pushed back by recoil when the Magic activates.

Other Abilities

There are other abilities unique to individual characters other than those discussed here, such as Overcharge, which allows the Ultimate Magic Gauge to charge beyond its normal capacity. You can see the details for abilities on the Magic Details screen.

Main Magic

Press the  button to activate. This is a basic form of offensive Magic. The effects of this Magic will vary greatly depending on your role and character.

Sub Magic

Press the button to activate. This kind of Magic typically plays to the strengths of individual characters, and can be highly effective when combined with Main Magic.

Link-Capable Magic

Press the button to activate. This Magic can be activated when by yourself, but turns into Link Magic when used with your allies under a specific timing.

Link Magic

When an ally hits an enemy with certain Magic, and you are able to use Link-Capable Magic, the Link Potential Cursor will appear. If you press the button at this time, you will perform a Link Magic attack on the marked enemy.

Extra Magic

Press the button to activate. This is a powerful kind of Magic which should be used wisely depending on the current battle situation, as many forms of Extra Magic have long cooldowns or specific uses.

Ultimate Magic

This represents each character’s signature move, and can be activated by pressing the  button when the Ultimate Magic Gauge has filled. There are two types of Ultimate Magic: that which consumes the whole gauge when used, and that which takes effect as the gauge gradually depletes.
