Note that the system they use is not what what it may appear to be at first; vitality-based attacks take away vitality from the gauge, leaning the gauge towards destruction; destruction-based attacks take away destruction from the gauge, leaning the gauge towards vitality; this is why only attacks that use the gauge will receive benefits while in their respective aura. | Note that the system they use is not what what it may appear to be at first; vitality-based attacks take away vitality from the gauge, leaning the gauge towards destruction; destruction-based attacks take away destruction from the gauge, leaning the gauge towards vitality; this is why only attacks that use the gauge will receive benefits while in their respective aura. | ||

When you have at least 1 or more nature orbs, you are able to use those orbs '''alongside certain skills'''. For most Special Actives, if the required amount of nature orbs are available as indicated on each skill, the first hit will cause the respective amount of orbs to '''detonate''' on the target. The orbs deal splash damage and ignore defense. | When you have at least 1 or more nature orbs, you are able to use those orbs '''alongside certain skills'''.

Defensively, when you are hit by an attack in front while on the ground, the core transforms into a '''shield''' that '''reduces damage'''. The shield lasts a short time and the core loses a level each time it forms the shield. If the core is level 1 when it defends you, it will disappear afterward and requires the usual conditions to reappear. You cannot move during the guarding animation, but [[Shadow Step]] can be used to dash out of it. | Defensively, when you are hit by an attack in front while on the ground, the core transforms into a '''shield''' that '''reduces damage'''.

When entering [[Awakening Mode]] as [[Eve]], a '''Queen's Core''' will be generated. The core has 3 levels, and will follow and support you by changing itself during offensive and defensive situations. Additionally, Eve has access to a special skill called [[Code: Recovery]], which can be activated by pressing V to recover some HP. This skill will have additional effects based on the chosen job path. | When entering [[Awakening Mode]] as [[Eve]], a '''Queen's Core''' will be generated.

When you are attacked while on the ground while the core is active, the Queen's Core will switch to a '''defensive mode''' and surround you with a force field to '''absorb the damage'''. While the core is defending you, you can press {{CZ}} or {{CX}} to '''phase backwards''' out of harms way. After defending you, the core will '''disappear''' until enough hits are dealt again. | When you are attacked while on the ground while the core is active, the Queen's Core will switch to a '''defensive mode''' and surround you with a force field to '''absorb the damage'''.

Whenever Chung is hit while he has a blue outline (e.g., the third attack of the {{CZ}}{{CZ}}{{CZ}} combo), he will enter '''Heavy Stance''', which will '''reduce damage taken''' by 67% for up to 6 hits (At which point Chung will stagger normally) and nullify [[Status Effects]] like Flattening or Stun. | Whenever Chung is hit while he has a blue outline (e.g., the third attack of the {{CZ}}{{CZ}}{{CZ}} combo.

Ara is able to cancel active skills by using another skill/active skill right before the previous skill used ends. This will cancel the active skill's final hit which prevents KD, but also gains extra Spirit Energy depending on the skill. For example, if you used [[Exorcism Stance 3 : Shadoweave]] (which usually gains 1 spirit energy when used) and cancel with [[Tiger Stance 2 : Tiger Claw]], you will gain 5 Spirit Energy instead (1 from using Shadow Knot + 4 from cancel bonus as stated in description). | Ara is able to cancel active skills by using another skill/active skill right before the previous skill used ends.

Being a duo character with a tag-team playstyle, Lu and Ciel do not share MP and also have a special system known as Combination. When either Lu or Ciel is tagged out, the inactive character will rapidly recover 6 MP per second (1 MP in PvP). This MP recovery, combined with fast, short skills and the special '''Combination Gauge''', encourage players to keep switching between the two in order to maximize damage. | Being a duo character with a tag-team playstyle, Lu and Ciel do not share MP and also have a special system known as Combination.

The combination gauge can be filled with '''Combination Points''', which are used in specific situations, such as '''Combination Skills'''. These skills cost no MP, but can usually only be used when the combination gauge is full. Combination points are gained every time the player switches, be it through a normal combo or a skill. Combos require you to land the switching attack to actually grant you any CP, however. | The combination gauge can be filled with '''Combination Points''', which are used in specific situations, such as '''Combination Skills'''.

Instead of MP, all of Rose's actives will consume ECP, a resource that will recover itself naturally over time, indicate by the yellow gauge below your MP.
