Enemy Gimmick

• "Special Action" turn is set for some enemies. They are special AI behaviours that are triggered under certain conditions.
• Enemies with special behaviours have skill patterns that differs from normal skills.
• If the target enemy appears in an 'Idle State'(待機状態), it is clad in a black aura.
• If the activation conditions are met, it becomes 'Activated State' (発動状態) at the start of its turn, and the colour of its aura changes to red.

Black (Idle), Red (Activated)

• The conditions for activation vary from enemy to enemy, and include activation after a certain number of turns, or when a specific type of layer is present in the party formation.
• Some enemies use extremely powerful skills when in the 'Activated state', so the key to battle against enemies having states is to find out the characteristics of their special gimmick and take countermeasures.
• Skills used by enemies in the 'Activated state' are also displayed in red in the [Skills] column of the enemy information, so please use this information to help you in your strategy. Red skills are not use when not Activated.
