Ceisus

Origin: Kingdom of Langdauq, Planet Faykreed
Fiore’s teacher, and the present director of the Langdauq Royal Signeturgy Research Institute.

■ Battle System
Combo Bonus and Cancel Bonus
By increasing the number of hits towards the enemy in a combo attack, you’ll trigger a Reserve Gauge-increasing “Combo Bonus.” By letting out standard attacks and battle skills consecutively with good timing and successfully using Cancels to shorten their execution window, you’ll get an attack power-increasing “Cancel Boost.”
—Combo Bonus
For every 10 hits in a combo, you’ll get a +20 percent Combo Bonus increasing the Reserve Gauge. The maximum bonus is +300 percent at 100 hits.
—Cancel Bonus
For every Cancel, you’ll get the +25 percent strength. The maximum is +200 percent at eight Cancels.
Reserve Rush System
—Reserve Rush Type
In the settings, you can choose to set whether the controlled character triggers a Reserve Rush, or whether the character that triggers it is different from the controlled character. Choose whichever setting best fits your combat style to employ it effectively.
—Reserve Gage Amount of Consumption
When the Reserve Gauge is at two or more stocks, you can use that amount at will towards the Reserve Rush. You can have a maximum of five stocks in your Reserve Gauge. Since your attack power and effects fluctuate based on the Reserve Gauge amount of consumption, you should decide whether you want to use it all at once, use it properly for each character, and so on based on the state of battle.
■ Battle Skills
Victor’s Battle Skills
—Diabolic Edge
Unleashes a fast, continuous attack while charging forward. After it’s triggered, Victor goes straight ahead, blowing away several enemies.
—Bloodstorm Revolution
Victor swings his weapon and creates a whirlwind that mangles up the surrounding enemies. The whirlwind changes with the flow of air pulling the target along.
—Nether Strike
Strikes the ground to call up a pillar of fire from purgatory that burns the enemy.
■ Signeturgy
Fiore’s Signeturgy
—Thunder Flare
Forms an electric shock cage that completely covers the enemy, and temporarily reduces the ATK of the enemies involved.
—Dark Eater
Summons and releases a monster of darkness, who drags around the target enemy while devouring them.
—Extinction
Confines the enemy in an antimatter dome, then explodes, also damaging the dome target’s surroundings.
