What is the Break Gauge?
Gauge Displayed Under Enemy's HP Bar
The Break Gauge is the white gauge displayed below the enemy's red HP bar. Landing attacks will deplete it, making it an essential element in combat.
Incapacitates Boss When Fully Depleted
Once the Break Gauge reaches 0, the enemy becomes incapacitated, unable to move or attack for a short period. This leaves the enemy vulnerable, allowing you to deal a large amount of damage.
Deals Damage Upon Break
In addition to being incapacitated, enemies in a Break state also receive Break Damage. The amount of damage is based on your team's overall stats, so it's important to strengthen all your characters.
How to Deplete the Break Gauge
Land Attacks
Landing attacks is a consistent way to reduce an enemy's Break Gauge. Once fully depleted, the enemy will become immobilized and will receive Break Damage.
Use Weakness-Aligned Support Skills
Some enemies have specific weaknesses. Attacking them with a Support Skill that matches their weakness will deplete more of the Break Gauge. An enemy's weakness is indicated by an icon above their head.
Use Critical Riposte
A Critical Riposte is a counter move that activates when you use a Basic Attack immediately after a successful Critical Dodge. Landing it deals significant damage to the Break Gauge. Try to dodge and counter enemy attacks as much as possible.
Parry Attacks
When a red circular warning appears on an enemy, it indicates a parryable attack. Parrying is a powerful move that staggers an enemy and can also trigger a Critical Dodge.
Significant Damage with Esper Cycle Discord
Applying both Nova (Chaos x Psyche) and Scorch (Incantation x Chaos) to an enemy simultaneously will create Discord. Discord deals significant damage to an enemy's Break Gauge, but it requires this specific combination of elements.
