Support Skill

Lose HP and TP each time you act, in exchange for increased damage.

A skill that sacrifices one's own health to enter a murderous rage that increases strength in battle.

  • Lasts indefinitely until end of combat, dispelled with Deep Breath, or the user dies.
  • HP/TP loss occurs after every action, including defending, failed escape attempts, or even when you fail to act due to paralysis.
    • Being incapacitated by sleep or petrification will not trigger HP/TP loss.
    • Triggers once per turn, regardless of number of actions taken.
      • Subclassing: Additional normal attacks from Blade Flurry or Sword Dance will not trigger additional HP/TP loss.
      • When using a Burst Skill, you lose HP/TP when the Burst Skill is used, but not for the regular action for the turn. However, if you lose enough TP to be unable to afford a skill you intend to use, that skill will fail.
    • Does not trigger when counterattacking or following-up under Counter Samba, Chase Samba, Trick Samba, Rush Dance, Beat Dance, or Chase Bind.
  • HP loss can kill the user, and will not trigger counterattacks.
