Team Skills
Unlike the rest of the skills, these skills require several party members to use up their turns. All team members involved will gain exhaustion. Using the moves while the party members haven't moved will use up their turn as well, but the party members who have already acted can still be involved in the skill as long as they are not inflicted with any status effects that prevents them from moving, although that will cost them their action next round, similarly to Leif's Bubble Shield. Most of these do not factor in front attack bonus, dealing the same damage regardless of party order. The moves cannot be used if the party members involved are fainted or stunned.
| Name | Effect | TP cost | Required party members | Obtained |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frozen Drill | Hits an enemy 3 times, dealing Kabbu's and Leif combined attack halved each hit, flipping them with a chance to freeze them for 1 turn. The first two attacks ignore defence; the last doesn't but will hit an extra point of damage.
The damage from Frozen Drill prefers to hit for even values. (i.e. if Kabbu and Leif's average attack is 2 an attack increase or decrease of 1 on either of them will not affect the damage; however if the average is 3 an increase or decrease of 1 will make the damage either 4 or 2, respectively.) |
8 | Kabbu and Leif | Rank 17 |
| Fly Drop | Hits an enemy once for Vi's and Kabbu's combined attack + 6. Ignores defense. | 6 | Vi and Kabbu | Learn Fly |
| Frost Relay | Leif and Vi hit an enemy alternatively, hitting 3 times each, dealing normal damage on the first hit and 1 less damage than the previous hit on following ones. Leif's hits have a chance to freeze. This can benefit from front bonus, provided the character to activate the skill is the one in front. Missing an Action Command will end the combination early. | 10 | Vi and Leif | Complete Find the Ingredients! |
| Frost Bowling | Hits all enemies for combined attack of all party members worth of damage. The attack can be ended early to deal an additional hit to the last enemy hit, dealing 3 less damage than the first hit of this ability. You can still deal the additional hit after the last enemy is hit, and it can hit 2 enemies if you time it right. Has a chance to freeze enemies it hits for 1 turn. | 9 | Vi, Kabbu and Leif | Complete Leif's Request |
Tips
- Hitting the same enemy twice with the same skill in a single attack will reduce the damage of consecutive hits to a minimum of 1 (if the enemy is armored the damage will eventually deal 0 damage without damage penetration). This applies to all multi-hit skills, with the exception of Ice Rain, regardless of whether or not they can hit multiple enemies.
